Review: 

This is one of the those amazingly funny black comedies that most people would find offensive.  But I found it absolutely hilarious.  The love the ambivalent attitude of almost all of the characters.  To them the rapture is just another event.  They attempt to muddle through the new world order.  Lindsey's brother is my absolute favorite.  He's friends with the wraiths, smokes pot, and overall loves the effects of the rapture. Definitely not for everyone, but J and I loved it.

Best Bits: 

  • Mr. House: There's no good reason to blow up Chicago. Except for the food, the weather and the people.
  • Mr. House: You know, if you asked my opinion, the guy's gotten a bad rap.  Ben House: He's the antichrist, Dad.
