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

Jack F It's the kind of movie that you're not in a hurry to see. Only when you can't think of what else to watch, and it just happens to be on your DVR. One time watch is good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/25 Full Review Mike D It had a good start and end, but the middle was horribly dull. The plot was lost and they kept repeating the same gags over and over again, like they are trying to pad the movie so it can be 90 minutes long. It would have been a decent watch if it was 60 minutes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/17/25 Full Review Leaburn O I’m sure Seth and his mates had fun making this but it’s a bit self indulgent. All the in jokes and laughing at yourself, if overdone just comes across as conceited. It’s almost ironic but that’s how it comes across. The general plot, which is weak gets lost amongst the overplayed self deprecation. Kinda just boring and not particularly funny in the end. The Emma Watson scene made me laugh though. Watched on Amazon Prime. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/25 Full Review Travis B. If you’re a fan of this group of comedians then this movie is gold. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/25 Full Review Ed R Hilariously raunchy comedy filled with a MORE than star-studded cast! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/14/25 Full Review Hendrik W I can't comprehend how people can find this movie any good at all, let alone >80% positive. It's absolutely unrivalled and matchless in its stupidity and its blatant, literally "in your face" raunchy toilet humor. It is so lowbrow, mindless and stupid that every single minute of this movie hurts watching if you have more than a single working brain cell. The only half comprehensible positive aspect is that you can see how much fun some of the actors had creating this piece of junk. Call it art if you like. I call it a total waste of time and resources. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
