Critics Consensus

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

3/5
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 Aug 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 Jan 6, 2014

3/5
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 Sep 6, 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

CRF T @RT87398935 Aug 23, 2026 Great movie for the right audience. For religious people it might be a bit heretical but I don't think that was the aim of the movie. Great cast and definitely meant for Millennials. See more Sharang L @Scribe187 Aug 16, 2026 The Backstreet Boys cameo is the highlight. The rest is self-indulgent crap. See more Henry Clifford J @RT39435754 Jun 11, 2026 Divertidísima de inicio a fin cada cosa que pasa es más loca que la anterior un reparto a otro nivel y la historia conecta perfecto con la audiencia a quien quieren llegar 10/10 See more jack O @walking30dead May 23, 2026 this movie is so funny. the acting of the entire cast was so good. i laughed 100 times during this movie. i know this is unlikely but i hope they make a sequel. See more Fahim Z @fhmzhr May 21, 2026 This Is the End is a brilliant, meta-commentary disaster movie that manages to be a hilarious look at fame and celebrity while being an absolute blast of a film. The Highlights: The Meta-Humor: Seeing the actors play exaggerated, terrible versions of themselves is comedy gold. The Chemistry: The real-life friendships between the cast make the banter feel spontaneous, messy, and consistently funny. The Chaos: The disaster elements are surprisingly well-executed, raising the stakes and making the humor land even harder. The Verdict: It is a riotous, inventive film that captures the specific joy of seeing a group of friends just mess around in a high-stakes scenario. It’s a comedy classic for a reason.
