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 Aug 14, 2017

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
