This movie is supposed to be some sort of parody about the American Christian concept of rapture. The "serious" rapture movies are pretty dumb themselves, but this comedy takes the oddity and boredom to completely another level.This movie was recommended to me as a "extremely funny and provocative comedy mocking the concept of rapture". Well, it seems to try to mock and to make some fun, however absolutely unsuccessfully.Pathetic and extremely stupid "heroes" with zero chemistry, lots of dirty talks and almost no action... meh. Watch Dogma or Little Nicky instead.

I am not even sure what to think with this movie. It actually is very funny and entertaining even though it has no real point. It's a very clever take on the whole apocalypse idea and revels in it's own stupidity and sarcastic humour. The comedy style is so incredibly obvious and it doesn't pretend to be something it's not. I think that's why it works. The actors know they have made something completely ridiculous but it is a form of art that they are all willing participants of. So I'm OK with the ludicrousness of it all and enjoyed the darkness of it. There are a couple of uncomfortable moments in the movie that are awkward and unnecessary but thankfully they are few and far between.Overall Rapture-Palooza was a pretty good movie and was much better than I expected.

"Rapture-Palooza" is based on a true story. Or, so it says at the very beginning of the movie, and then you know exactly what type of humour you're getting yourself into. It's funny, extremely funny. The type of funny that you're laughing out loud so often that you need to rewind to catch all the jokes you missed; it's also the offensive kind of funny. It's offensive, extremely offensive.The rapture is coming, and there will be some people who don't make it into heaven. Gays, musicians, and gay musicians. The movie is set in Seattle. Where God has left a lot of people behind: namely, Lindsey (Anna Kendrick), her boyfriend Ben (John Francis Daley), and her family. Her mother (Ana Gasteyer) did originally get into heaven, but she got kicked out; presumably, due to her complaining about how unorganized and unprofessional it was, or she was in the wrong line. Comedienne Ana Gasteyer is funnier in small doses; her complaining and screaming the entire way through makes it a little less funny.Every rapture-based idea and image is skewered. As the plot begins, they even have Lindsey and Ben reading the Bible to understand what exactly is going to happen and what they can do about it. Ben comments that it's all just pieced together as if nobody thought it through. That's a common complaint about this movie, but when you have so many random things to make fun of, how is it not going to appear random?The plot introduces Craig Robinson as the Beast, aka the Antichrist, aka the devil. He's a former politician who is now in charge of the whole world. And he's funny too. The film pits our everyman heroes, Lindsey and Ben, versus the Beast and they're either going to save the world (what's left of it) or destroy it in the process.In the long line of end of the world movies, this one is closer to "This Is the End" (2013) at least in terms of the humour, but religious ideas have probably never been as relentlessly attacked as they are in this film. Only for those ready to laugh at the impending rapture.
