Funny, But Not Satisfying

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2013)

This Is the End is a difficult movie to review, but not because it's unlike anything I've ever seen. When I first saw its concept a year ago, I saw it as something fresh that had the potential to be hilarious, and to be honest it was. I haven't laughed that much during a movie since I saw Airplane! a couple of years ago, which is a decent feat. The problem, though, is that TitE isn't satisfying. It has a happy ending and had me laughing from start to finish, but the story itself isn't very strong, and Rogen+Goldberg stick a few too many dick jokes in. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's easily offended or hates over-the-top gross out humor, but to everyone else it's worth a view at some point. 6.5/10
