It's fun, don't take it too seriously

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2020)

With an absurd, but entertaining premise, and a fun and insane attitude- This is the End makes the most out of its own potential, by providing for an imperfectly, butr devlishly good time. The film stars and is co-directed by Seth Rogen, and has a large cast of celebrities throughout, all of which play themselves. The cast doesn't give any Oscar-worthy performances here folks, but they do provide for some entertaining additions to the film, and everyone truly gives it there all to provide the film with the sense of laughter it needs. There are moments throughout that make the film seem like it is trying a bit too hard, and there are a few weaker aspects that bring the film down. The pacing can take a bit of a dip towards the middle, but luckily by the end it is able to bring itself back together. I think the film would have been better about 10 minutes shorter, and also think it would have improved a lot more if they took the time and money on fixing the CGI instead of the large cast of cameos at the beginning. This is the End can be quite clever at times, with some truly hilarious gags, and some quite insane moments that are endlessly entertaining. In the end, This is the End is not a perfect comedy gem, but it is very enjoyable and at times very funny. Though it has its uneven nature at times, and a few minor flaws throughout, it is still able to pull itself together and manage to be a fun time- which is always a plus for me.
My Rating: 8.75/10
