Critic Reviews

  • Glenn Kenny, MSN Movies

    ... the movie definitely struck a chord with the crowd I saw it with ... (with) a climax that brings bromance back ...

  • Dana Stevens, Slate

    This Is the End, true to its subject matter, is as funny as hell.

  • Christopher Orr, The Atlantic

    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.

  • Mick LaSalle, Hearst Newspapers

    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.

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    Their big joke is to literalize the Book of Revelations, but snaking around this is a biting contempt for the entertainment business, their own bad movies, and the social privilege these confer.

    This is a very unique and very funny buddy comedy. It is a great idea for a comedy and the the entire cast puts on a very funny performance, particularly Franco. This is one of the better comedies to come out in a while.

    A consistently entertaining and funny film concerning a party at James Franco's house that goes to Hell after the apocalypse happens, and how Franco and his friends (Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson, and Danny McBride) struggle to survive in its aftermath. The… More

    There are three apocalyptic comedies this year and Seth Rogen's This Is The End is undoubtedly the biggest in profile. The plot is simple: Rogen and his pals, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson, and Danny McBride, are holed up in James Franco's lavish home while the… More

    Filled with lots of charm, surprises and big laughs, ''This is the End'' is one of the best times I've had watching a film in a long time.
