This Is the End should be looked at as a viciously funny rumination on friendship, success and what it means to be a good person. Unfortunately, as we learn from the film, most actors in Hollywood aren't particularly good people.

His plan is to bring Jay to James Franco's housewarming party. Once Jay gets to know all of Seth's LA friends, he will totally be won over by everyone and will learn to love them and LA.
