Zes bevriende Hollywood acteurs zitten opgesloten in een huis. Ze kunnen niet meer naar buiten omdat na een vreemde buitenaardse aanval de hele stad Los Angeles verwoest is. Hun vriendschap wordt op de proef gesteld wanneer hun voedselvoorraad opraakt en als blijkt dat de situatie buitenshuis steeds meer bizarre gevaren brengt. Uiteindelijk moeten ze toch het huis verlaten en worden ze geconfronteerd met zichzelf, hun lot en het einde van de wereld. (Universal Pictures International Netherlands)

A really great premise which made a lot of actors finally look friendlier and more human to me, as they are basically playing themselves. Suddenly, however, there is a brutal apocalypse, which is a meaningless bullshit in all respects and the only thing keeping the movie afloat is a number of pretty brutal catchphrases of the individual actors, who put down and try to best each other. I like the fact that the actors were themselves and that several times they openly made fun of themselves. What I don’t like was that some jokes were pretty unnecessary and over the line. At times I laughed a lot, just to stop laughing afterwards and wait for another catchphrase that would make me happy again. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg came up with a great idea and a lot of the actors convinced me that they are a great group of friends who can make you laugh and that I should definitely reckon with them for the future of America.

The comedy of the year so far. Incorrect and vulgar, but smart. Self-aware and meta, but not forced. Here applies that the more you know (about the actors and the roles they usually play in their movies), the more you will laugh, as long as you are not a bore. But then, not everyone handles scatological and incorrect humour with the grace of Seth Rogen :)

The funniest moment of This Is the End is when Michael Cera smacks Rihanna's ass. The boys had fun with this one.
Laughing with them in their “real” presence at dick jokes and sincere critical self-reflection has potential to be cool
entertainment, but it would need a more sophisticated screenplay. This seems slapped together spontaneously in one
evening and revisited only on the set. Casting is not everything. The penis-demon in the climax and the final song are
good.

Smarter than most viewers are willing to admit. Rogen's humor goes over the edge many times, but who can be mad when it's done in such a self-deprecating and ironic way. The studio execs must have freaked out at the test screening, which makes me wish Rogen and his crew all the more for the commercial success they've had overseas. Deservedly so, it’s probably the most sincere A-film to come out of the "dream factory" in years.

A homemade movie by a bunch of friends which was meant to remain undiscovered, the same way as all other homemade movies are. As funny as it sounds on the paper, the realization came out pretty flaky. Rogen and Goldberg should have had the sense not to let themselves stand behind the camera. It all holds together purely thanks to the cast. Everybody, without exception, is clearly having fun. Which is also the reason why I concentrate more on the bonus materials and reviews rather than on the movie itself which, in its humor and style, is on exactly the same wave as everything else that Rogen has written so far.
