Peter Rainer New York Magazine (Top Critic)

[Allen's] been making piffle for a long while, and Hollywood Ending may be his way of saying that piffle is all that the airhead movie business deserves from him right now.

The premise may be outrageous, but the film is full of witty lines, delightful scenes and sharp performances.

It lacks critical mass and droops in the middle like a worn-out saddle horse.

Hollywood Ending just isn't very funny.

Funny but perilously slight.

Ephemeral, Woody Allen. Only for his fans.

Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid

Filled with laughs and missed potential for lots more, the film leaves us happy but maybe wishing for something bigger.

Com seu habitual humor auto-depreciativo e seu imenso talento para a comedia fisica, Allen cria um filme divertido, mas que jamais se equipara aos seus grandes trabalhos.

For those, like this reviewer, who revere Allen as one of the greats, it's best that Hollywood Ending be quickly buried.

Que las escenas mas graciosas de una pelicula de Woody Allen sean aquellas en las que se da contra una puerta o se cae de una altura es senal de que ya no es lo mismo.

Hollywood Ending, while not quite as lousy as last year's The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, is still fairly mediocre...

...Even if this isn't Woody's best, it provides generally solid entertainment, which is something of a rarity these days from Tinseltown.

It's getting difficult to watch this old dog trying so hard to pull off the same old tricks; Allen is becoming a caricature of himself, a cartoon, before our very eyes.

Woody Allen's latest is an ambling, broad comedy about all there is to love -- and hate -- about the movie biz.

Allen se atreve a atacar, a atacarse y nos ofrece gags que van de la sonrisa a la risa de larga duracion

Uneven: great fun in parts, annoying in others, too familiar in some.

A few bright ideas decorated with snappy one-liners are stretched too thin to fill almost two hours.

A few more of these and his Hollywood Ending could be a very, very dark one

[Allen's] best works understand why snobbery is a better satiric target than middle-America diversions could ever be.

Diana Saenger ReelTalk Movie Reviews

Evokes some laughs, but the acting is mediocre and the story line --well, it's a typical Hollywood ending.

... those of us who favor the director's more "pretentious" films can't help but be struck by what appears to be a failure of nerve

His films remain entertainment akin to watching a stand-up act: disposable stories, great sense of humor, one-liners that I quote incessantly for months.

As his conclusion, Allen plays into the ironic comedy he intends with his title, Hollywood Ending, and it comes as a jolly repartee to his American critics.

This farcical motherlode is largely wasted here, with Allen recycling gags so moldy you half-expect one of those giant hooks from vaudeville to enter the frame and yank him right off the screen.

Fun in a way that brings a sly smile to your face.
