The laughs are often and the drama is felt...

| Original Score: A- | Aug 20, 2024

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 4, 2023

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 6, 2022

The movie needs more plot but works better when the guys are just goofing off.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 17, 2021

It's clear that the creators have learned little from the mistakes of preceding endeavors, as virtually every pratfall and shortcoming is repeated in spades.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 4, 2020

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have created a film that mostly makes fun of the real life characters in the film while making them accountable for the choices they make.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 26, 2020

Does watching a bunch of foul-mouthed, weed-smoking, pill-popping celebrities attempt to survive the end of the world sound like a good time?

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 9, 2020

This is the End demonstrates a sweet core that keeps us cheering for the protagonists, even while Goldberg and Rogen are skewering the self-absorption of Hollywood types.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 19, 2019

Sure, "This Is the End" is juvenile and inconsequential, but it is also a lot of fun.

| Original Score: B | Apr 10, 2019

A comedy movie that doesn't bring about the LOLpocalypse? It's slightly disappointing, but it's not the end of the world.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 26, 2019

These guys all take as much as they dish out, though McBride is the star of this show.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 21, 2018

The best part about the movie -- and probably the only thing that matters -- is that it's actually funny.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 6, 2018

It's clear that these guys were just having some fun making a movie, and that fun they had translates onto screen perfectly.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Nov 1, 2018

This is one of those rare opportunities to be reminded of how exhilarating genuinely inspired laughter can feel. This is the End is the year's current champion of funny.

I can't even tell you. Just see it.

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 5, 2017

If you hate the Rogen/Apatow crew, you will hate this movie. For the rest of us, it's comedy Heaven.

| Original Score: A | Aug 18, 2017

If the conceit of actors playing themselves wears thin after the first 20 minutes or so, strap thyself in, because you're in for a very long night.

| Aug 17, 2017

Luckily, when the jokes hit, they hit hard, and it's almost always at least entertaining.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 14, 2017

This is The End is my kind of Rat Pack movie.
