Going nowhere

Warning: Spoilers
"Jay and Seth Versus the Apocalypse" is a 9-minute short film, in which comedy actors Jay Baruchel and Seth Rogen play versions of themselves. The two live in a shabby apartment in an apocalyptic world and have all kinds of issues to deal with, such as the lack of water. Roger also wrote the script here with Evan Goldberg and director Jason Stone. Goldberg directed the movie "The is the End", which is loosely based on this short film here and features many more well-known actors.

Unfortunately, I must say that this movie here is really going nowhere. I do not think it is a comedy, only because of the actors in there are mostly known for comedy movies. There is some dark humor in here, but especially with the ending, I'd rather classify it as a drama movie. But it does not deliver in that area either and same can be said about the horror genre. It's a bit of everything, but not convincingly elaborated on in any area. That is also why I won't recommend it. Watch the full feature instead. That ons is much better. Much funnier.
