Rapture Palooza (2013)
Rated R
Starring Craig Robinson, Anna Kendrick, John Francis Daley, Rob Corddry, Ana Gasteyer, John Michael Higgins, Ken Jeong,
Directed by Paul Middleditch
The Story:
The Rapture has happened and the souls that were left behind now have to deal with living on Earth under the Beast (Robinson). However, when he sets his sights on Lindsey (Kendrick) to be his bride, she and her boyfriend (Daley) have to formulate a plan to stop the Anti-Christ once and for all.
So how do you make a comedy about the Rapture?
Because, seriously, this one didn't quite hit the mark.
: )
It's a great cast full of some amazing comedic actors, but ultimately many of them are left floundering in their roles with little to do, or nothing of great consequence.
There is the occasional laugh, but overall, it's a big pass.
Not a complete failure of a movie, just a failure to capitalize on everything that was right in front of them, but they failed to utilize properly.
I mean when you have God (Jeong) vs. the Beast battling for world supremacy in a hot tub for the fate of the world, you just sort of expect and hope for a little more that what you ultimately get.
Final Grade: C-
