Leave your thoughts about Rapture-Palooza.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfMatheson aims to build a farce, but the feature doesn't follow his lead, blowing some interesting asides of insanity on trendy, flaccid riffing. |
| Village VoiceChuck WilsonAlways amusing, if never screamingly funny. |
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonIn a post-South Park world, lazy execution of a ribald, potentially controversial concept will not suffice -- especially not when the apocalypse is being handled with much more wit, vim and verve just across the megaplex. |
| Dread CentralHeather WixsonRapture-Palooza is a film worth sticking though as the third act goes for broke and delivers many of the story's biggest laughs, ending far stronger than it started. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThe laughs are consistent and the cast (including Rob Corddry, Paul Scheer and Ken Jeong as a very petty God) is a riot. |
| Los Angeles TimesAmy NicholsonChris Matheson's script focuses its energy on small, wickedly funny gags, half of which Robinson seems to have sputtered out as improv. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairRobinson's grating performance becomes increasingly difficult to stomach... |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeMore irrelevant than irreverent, the unworthy script from “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure’s” Chris Matheson might play to apocalyptically stoned college kids, but offers nothing in the way of broader social satire, suggesting the waste of a perfectly good Reckoning — not to mention the talents of a cast far funnier than the doom-and-gloom results suggest. |
| New York PostLou LumenickSilly enough for you? Did I mention that the immortal Ken Jeong of “The Hangover’’ plays God, who gets mighty pissed when hubby accidentally shoots Jesus out of the sky? |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoFor a film about the apocalypse, Matheson's script felt a little bit too bland and mundane. Who would have thought the rapture could be so boring? |
