"Rapture-Palooza" wasn't as funny as I hoped it would have been but it has its moments...even if most those moments are shown in the trailer.
There's a lot of performers I really enjoy in this movie. Comedic actors like Thomas Lennon, Rob Corddry, John Michael Higgins, Rob Huebel, Paul Scheer, Craig Robinson, etc. However, the script didn't feel as developed as it should have been and there's only so much these people can do to make it work.
Craig Robinson jumped back and forth from being entertaining and annoying as the The Anti-Christ. At times his vulgarity was hilarious or mildly amusing and at other times it did little to give me a reaction. Anna Kendrick and John Francis Daley are decent as the couple out to stop The Anti-Christ but they didn't really feel like they were attempting to shine or lead the film in any way. They felt like they were just side characters in their portrayal.
Don't get me wrong, this film isn't out-right terrible and I didn't feel like I wasted my time watching it. The film has its moments--for example, I loved Thomas Lennon's character of the zombie obsessed with mowing his lawn. The problem is the film felt like there should have been more funny moments and, instead, it just wasted its potential.
