Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
It's the wildest screen comedy in a long time, and also the smartest, the most fearlessly inspired, and the snort-out-loud funniest.

Chicago Sun-Times Richard Roeper
In its own sloppy, raunchy, sophomoric, occasionally self-pleased and consistently energetic way, This Is the End is just about perfect at executing its mission, which is to poke fun at its stars, exhaust every R-rated possibility to get a laugh, and even sneak in a few insights into Hollywood, the celebrity culture and the nature of faith.

Outrageous-plus, but often hilarious.

Rolling Stone Peter Travers
There's no way you won't have a blast. In their directing debuts, Rogen and Goldberg come up aces, mixing hilarity and horror like pros and never letting up on the killer momentum.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch Joe Williams
A one-joke movie, but it's a joke whose recurring rimshots grow as loud as our laughter.

That film is far more interesting in concept, and infinitely more elegant in execution, than what Rogen and his buddies have cooked up in This Is the End - but I've gotta admit, it's not nearly as funny.

Occupies an odd middle ground between their Apatow-produced bromances, the giddy gruesomeness of the recent “Aftershock” and the confined social abrasiveness of “It's a Disaster.”

USA Today Claudia Puig
The film is uneven and about 15 minutes too long. But when it's funny, it's hilarious.

Out-of-control hilarious.

The Hollywood Reporter Todd McCarthy
It also expresses the anxiety and insecurity of comics conscious of the big issues in life they are expected either to avoid or make fun of in their work. Rogen and Goldberg take the latter approach here, in an immature but sometimes surprisingly upfront way one can interpret seriously. Or not.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
It's no minor accomplishment to make one of the most indulgent projects in Hollywood history. But with This Is the End, Seth Rogen and his pals have indeed achieved this dubious goal.
