Critics Consensus

Energetic, self-deprecating performances and enough guffaw-inducing humor make up for the flaws in This Is the End loosely written script.

There are some terrific one-liners, most of them insults...But this is a string of character gags, not a film, and the narrative barely putters along. Go to Full Review Dan Simolke Shadow and Act 08/14/2017

Luckily, when the jokes hit, they hit hard, and it's almost always at least entertaining. Go to Full Review Wesley Morris Grantland 01/06/2014

With comedic crudeness levels that hit all kinds of wrong and leave very few stones unturned, "This Is the End" will either be something you can sit back and love for its audacity and parody or absolutely loathe for its vanity and stupidity Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 09/06/2022
2/4
Much of the movie goes by with almost nothing of significance happening beyond these actors goofing around together, and this is enjoyable until the formulaic plot takes over, and we lose interest. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Z S. @xachi 2d This is one of the most movies I’ve seen! So many funny moments! Brilliant! See more Julio C @Juli. Apr 2 Pues es exagerada pero a la vez entretiene See more Steven F. @SteveGotScored Feb 22 Such a hilarious wild ride! See more Paul S @RT91988760 Jan 31 This movie is really stupid, but it's hilarious at the same time. It's clearly celebrities portraying themselves in a satirical way, but even then, a lot of what they did in the movie was just really thoughtless. Despite this movie's shortcomings, I still really enjoyed it, and the ludicrous setting mixed with the purposefully bad acting made this movie really fun to watch. I'd recommend it for comedy and disaster fans, but this movie might make you hate celebrities. See more Ray C @RT17651982 Jan 24 This movie was really funny at first but then it was just dumb. See more Hannah M. @thebighanbino Jan 19 Absolutely fantastic cast. The comedy and writing was outstanding. See more Read all reviews
