One Twitter user said: "This is the End. The movie. I'm watching the movie. It's hilarious and just about everyone is in it."
Another said: "Watching This is the End & this movie f***ing hilarious every time."
In honour of Jonah Hill's 38th birthday, another Twitter user went so far as to claim it was the funniest movie she had ever seen.

She said: "This is the End is probably the most ridiculously hilarious movie I've ever seen."
Seth Rogen recently confirmed that Emma Watson walked off the set of This is the End, after refusing to shoot an improvised scene which she felt went too far.
The scene reportedly involved a cannibalistic Danny McBride holding Channing Tatum on a leash, with the latter wearing a leather gimp suit.
Rogen told GQ: "I think sometimes when you read something, when it comes to life it doesn't seem to be what you thought it was.

"But it was not some terrible ending to our relationship. She came back the next day to say goodbye. She helped promote the film. No hard feelings and I couldn't be happier with how the film turned out in the end."
Rogen later added on Twitter: "Emma Watson did not 'storm off the set' and it's s****y that the perception is that she did.
"The scene was not what was originally scripted, it was getting improvised, changed drastically and was not what she agreed to.
"The narrative that she was in some way uncool or unprofessional is complete bulls***."
