I quite enjoyed this movie. Usually a end-of-the-world-movie involves lots of explosions but this movie took a whole different view on it.The plot was genius: put a bunch of friends together, add a new person and make the world end. Taking place in a single house was a real nice idea, the mystery of not knowing what was going on outside really helped the plot.The interactions the characters had in this film where funny, crazy and believable. Though its not a comedy where you are laughing all the time I found myself laughing more than in most big comedies.Top notch acting really added to the experience. You normally don't expect such a cast in a low budget movie.

This movie is a nice try to make another doomsday movie with bad result. No good as a story and no good humor.I didn't laugh and I didn't enjoy it because it has nothing new as a movie art or interpreting the human nature. Very boring and just repeating features from other better movies. It reminds me a movie from an artist in my country who thought she could be a screen writer and movie director and the result was a disaster as this movie. No worth the time I spend thanks God I didn't pay for watching this. Go watch Melancholia and you will see who they wanted to copy. It is really a piece of movie art. So if you want to see something which is worth your time don't trust trailers, avoid them. Read about movie, read the story and see which director do it. Certain directors never fail, and will always contribute to the art of movie, and thats is: not to repeat themselves and do only what concerns the human beens on earth not only your country problems. Thats what make a movie an art piece. People all over the world will understand it.

The comedy group The Vacationeers has written a different take on end-of-the-world genre. Four couples meet up for a brunch, only to have it disrupted by a massive attack.Julia Stiles and David Cross are the newly dating couple only on their third date. They're the big names on this film. Erinn Hayes and Blaise Miller are having trouble with their marriage. Rachel Boston and Kevin M. Brennan are the brash sexual couple. Jeff Grace and America Ferrera are unable to get marry even though they are long engaged.It takes a while to get the lay of the land with all these couple. Once the incident happens, there is a burst of energy and lots of hilarity ensues. Then the story gets uneven with some slow spots and some funny bits.The one glaring problem is the guys in the group. The members of The Vacationeers are just not up to the caliber of David Cross. Very few people are, and none of those people are in this movie. They don't have the same screen presence. In contrast, all the girls in this movie are top rate. They all bring a little something different to the table.This movie certainly had its moments. The energy does dissipate somewhat after the chaos of the attack. So it ends up as a good film that could have been great.

I love the performers in this. I love the concept. It is incredibly well done, real and fun. I cannot over-state how much fun this is!I do not think I am including spoilers by pointing out the basic plot.A bunch of "friends" get together for a monthly brunch. Before things even get going, they get interesting. Then, they have reason to think that the end of the world is upon them.The fun is watching people with nothing to lose calmly exploring, in an often amusing way, their lives and relationships. I have to give kudos to the cast again. They are all absolutely terrific an well cast. They're real. They feel like people I've met and soul searched with myself. It is on Netflix streaming at this time. If you miss it, you stink :-)
