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

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 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

Paul S 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 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 Matthew D @OceanSage Jan 17 An idiotic Apocalypse with Hollywood’s favorite stoners. Directors Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s stoner comedy This Is the End (2013) is a total blast. I revisited this silly stoner classic. Directors Rogen and Goldberg deliver ridiculous references, constant celebrity cameos, and outrageously raunchy jokes. James Franco is funny as a selfish and narcissistic version of himself at his mansion with all his movie props. Him recreating Pineapple Express had me feeling nostalgic. Watching Franco die in this is still so satisfying. Jonah Hill too is such a sleazy creep here with some hilarious lines, like when he’s pretending to be super nice to Jay. Jay Baruchel is excellent as the normal Canadian friend to Seth Rogen’s Hollywood stoner, who has changed into a more selfish man. This Is the End is honestly Jay’s best acting, up there with Tropic Thunder. Danny McBride honestly steals the movie as a completely deranged and unhinged version of himself. See more Christian K @ckacar Jan 14 Almost always stays entertaining with the actors playing themselves being self deprecating being the real key. See more Downriver R @Downriver Jan 6 One of the best and funniest comedy you'll ever watch. They just don't make them like this anymore. I'd put this movie up there with tropic thunder. I wish they'd make more of these types of comedys See more Read all reviews
