What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk 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. Rated: 3/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Dan Simolke Shadow and Act Luckily, when the jokes hit, they hit hard, and it's almost always at least entertaining. Rated: B- Aug 14, 2017 Full Review Wesley Morris Grantland There's wonder here that films with quadruple the effects budget would kill for. Jan 6, 2014 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film The laughs are often and the drama is felt... Rated: A- Aug 20, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 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 Rated: 3/5 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 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. Rated: 2/4 Sep 6, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Alexander T This movie is so entertaining and funny. It has such a good plot and setting. It also has a very funny ending. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/07/25 Full Review Audience Member A charming and backhandedly clever satirical take of modern day celebrities. Also some surprisingly sharp directing at times. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/25 Full Review TROY S Saw this movie recently for the first time and loved it. One of the best casts ever assembled for a comedy and the chemistry between everyone is great. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review J K It wanted to be this generations Mars attacks but it lacks the charm. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review Brad S. R Far too self-aware to be funny. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Mary B Hilarious from beginning to the end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
