‘Rapture-Palooza’ review

If you just can’t wait for next week’s cinematic apocalypse in “This Is the End,” you might try this almost endearingly silly amuse bouche of a comedy depicting how the End of Days might play out in Seattle, playing a contractually mandated theater run before it’s released on DVD.

Left behind when the more devout population gets sucked up to heaven, newlyweds Anna Kendrick and John Francis Daley have to cope with such daily plagues as talking locusts, showers of blood and meteors, and her kvetchy mother (Ana Gasteyer), who gets sent back to Earth.

Then, our heroine incites the lust of the randy Antichrist (who prefers to be called the Beast and is played by Craig Robinson), whose wacky employees include her father-in-law (Rob Corddry). It’s up to hubby to rescue her with a crackpot scheme involving her pot-smoking brother and a zombie (Thomas Lennon) obsessed with mowing lawns.

Silly 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?
