A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

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 don't know if I'll ever be able to make it all the way through this. It looks like a direct and very unaffectionate mockery. But I noticed that if you look at it long enough, the very things that they are poking fun at begin to take on a creepy and somewhat unsettling connotation. Cursing crows, blood rain, falling fire rocks, zombie apocalypse, etc. Sadly, the movie is not clever enough to overcome its own stupidity, which is to basically look God in the face and stick your tongue out at him in total disrespect. This movie is on the line between poking fun at human arrogance and misplaced fanaticism and making fun of God himself. This is one of those movies you can't unsee once you look at it, and to tell you the truth, I almost wish to God I had never saw a second of it. But being a graduate student of theology, how can I resist? Tragically, parts of this disrespectful farce are almost funny.

The rapture finally happen but Anna Kendrick, her boyfriend and her family didn't get sent to heaven. Talking locusts,walking Wraith making them like pothead zombies and the occasional meteor shower are the few that plague Earth but its livable. The Beast A.K.A the Antichrist played by Craig Robinson wants to marry and basically sleep with Anna Kendrick. He gave her a choice to marry him or kill everyone she knows so she and her boyfriend came up with a plan.A decent satire about the rapture with sarcastic humor by Anna Kendrick and Craig Robinson raunchy humor. A good cast and cameos, it could of been better but the movie did have moments especially with Craig Robinson and Anna Kendrick together. Rapture-Palooza comedic approach towards the rapture and religion work with some success.

The Rapture comes. Mrs. Lewis gets taken up to Heaven, but is returned as defective. Those left behind have a lot to deal with: wraiths, molten rocks from the sky, blood rain, locusts who talk, crows that verbally abuse everyone, and the like.Worst of all is that a one-time politician, Earl Gundy, becomes the anti-Christ. He talks everyone into calling him The Beast. He has his own deadly Beastly Guards, and an array of wraiths protecting him. He takes over the world's armament, and destroys cities to spread terror and obedience.Lindsey and Ben are engaged, and hope to make a living in the apocalyptic times. A molten rock ends that. Ben's father works for The Beast, and suggests that the pair interview with The Beast. When The Beast finds that Lindsey is a virgin, he entices her to become his bride.They concoct a plan to imprison The Beast as predicted in the Book of Revelation. They proceed with this, and it seems to be going well, but Ben lasers God's son as he descends from heaven to take out the anti-Christ. God and The Beast have it out.How does this end up? ------Scores------Cinematography: 10/10 Just fine.Sound: 8/10 The actors are well-miked, but the music could have been better.Acting: 7/10 Craig Robinson, Anna Kendrick, and John Francis Daley (Bones) were the best. I liked most of the actors, but a few were not so good, such as Calum Worthy, Paul Scheer, and Tyler Labine.Screenplay: 7/10 I got several good laughs out of this one, mostly for its sheer irreverence. The stoner dogma was pushed a bit too hard for my taste.
