The film is more guileful than it looks, even though the narrative is nuts ...
Top CriticNo comedy classic, then, but a good natured and engaging slice of goonish self-mockery.
... the movie definitely struck a chord with the crowd I saw it with ... (with) a climax that brings bromance back ...
This Is the End, true to its subject matter, is as funny as hell.
Crass, flimsily plotted, and self-referential to the point of narcissistic personality disorder. For those willing to tolerate such defects, however, it is also very, very funny.
Though This Is the End drags slightly here and there, the filmmakers keep it interesting by making the personal relationships dynamic, and the movie redeems all that is self-referential and self-congratulatory about it with a warmth of spirit.
...runs on some delicious self-critique.
The best thing about This Is the End is playing "spot-the-celebrity" in the early frames. Do this, and you'll find everyone from Jason Segel to David Krumholtz. If all that talent were put to better use, the film might have been worth watching.
That Rogen and Goldberg make one of the Backstreet Boys' more annoying yesteryear hit singles something you giddily sing along to is a measure of just how on point the satire is--that, or that it truly *is* the end of the world.
Enjoyable, time-killing piece of throwaway Friday-night pap... It's broad, stupid fun that, against all odds, ends up coagulating into an actual story with a point.
...a very savvy send up of the way we perceive celebrities as vapid and self-involved ciphers who are so often flattered and coddled that they come to accept applause as their due.
If your tolerance for druggy banter and puerile sex gags is low then the idea of facing Armageddon with Rogen and his chums will probably strike you as hell.
At its best it's a film about people getting lost in the fiction of their own creations.
If you're familiar with their previous films, you'll be laughing often and laughing loudly.
If Fast and Furious 6 was stupid in the bad way, This is the End is stupid in the best and funniest way.
An elaborate in-joke and everyone's in on the gag
It's a giant Hollywood in-joke, but one that invites you to share in the laughter.
One of the funniest films of the year so far.
A funny self-aware critique of the actors' indulgences - along with several violent deaths, demonic monsters and dick jokes. There are lots of dick jokes.
This is the End is one of the most fun movies I've seen in ages. It's a silly extravaganza, a huge bunch of nonsense, but, boy, it's entertaining ... This film is one big in-joke, but it's a very good one.
Never reaches the heights of earlier collaborations Superbad and Pineapple Express. However, it has a belligerent, depraved, coked-up Michael Cera, and that is a treat unique to this film and this film only, so it's certainly worth your time.
While bewildering for those unfamiliar with the Judd Apatow clan, for fans, this raunchy, daring and gleeful comedy comes up trumps.
The Is The End feels throughout like a feature-length inside joke, but Rogen and company are generous enough to let the audience in on the gag.
The juvenile ribaldry flies fast and furious ... culminating in a finale as bizarre and whacked-out as I've seen in a while. They're swinging for the fences here.
A crude, rowdy, self-indulgent buddy-movie mash-up travesty about the end of the world, in which smoking weed, ejaculation jokes, exorcism & a decapitated head kicked around like a soccer ball are par for the course
Rogen and Goldberg make the jump to directing with this riotously self-referential apocalyptic comedy.
