Is this movie silly? Yes. Is it packed with toilet humor? Yes. Do you see the erect (and later, flaccid) penis of a monster? Yes. Is there an important take-home message you get from watching it? Absolutely not.
So why am I giving it 10 stars? Because it made me laugh uncontrollably.
Maybe I'm different but even cheap laughs are good laughs.

This movie was exactly what I expected and more. Filling it with dirty jokes, weed, cameos, the apocalypse, religion, demonic possession, and much more. The idea and plot of actors playing themselves is unique and fresh. During a party at James Franco's house, the world begins to crumble. Seth Rogen, Craig Robinson, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, and James Franco all try to survive the apocalypse, and most importantly, try to survive from each other. From making a home-made sequel to 'The Pineapple Express' to getting high and listening to that ridiculous Gangnam Style song, this movie has a little bit of everything. I highly recommend THIS IS THE END!!!

Here's a date movie if you never want to see that date again.Does indoor soccer with a severed head strike you funny? Screaming about a soiled porn magazine when there is no food or water?Nobody works too hard playing themselves and their perceived on screen image, except Jonah Hill when he's doing Linda Blair. That's about when the movie elevates from foul talking humor to more effective use of the movie format.Parts of the movie look like it was shot on a cell phone. The monsters seemed borrowed from "Ghostbusters", a far better movie. The script like Franco's pop-up television seemed like it had been sitting around and was not fresh or current.There are laughs, but at times it looked like even the cast was embarrassed by some of what was happening. The movie will be enjoyed most by those on mind dulling drugs.
