"It's a Disaster"

Unlike the disastrous "This is the End", this movie is an enjoyable, witty, well-acted movie. Four couples get together for a "couples" brunch. Before long, we realize something's up--the internet doesn't work, their cell phones can't get a signal, and finally the power goes out. Through a neighbor, they find out their city has been attacked by terrorists and their days may be numbered. Instead of panicking, they work through their relationships, uncover unknown secrets about each other, while trying to figure out a way out of their mess. I thought the dialogue was mart and funny and found myself laughing out loud at various conversations and incidents. Most of the actors are relatively unknown except for David Cross of Arrested Development and America Ferrera of Ugly Betty.
4 out of 5 stars
