Critics were divided on Woody Allen's Hollywood Ending. Some praised the film for its clever satire on the movie business and Allen's comedic performance. Peter Travers from Rolling Stone commented, 'Woody Allen delivers laughs and insight in this sharp Hollywood satire.' On the other hand, some critics found the premise to be too far-fetched and the humor lacking depth. The Hollywood Reporter stated, 'Hollywood Ending falls short in delivering the wit and charm of Allen's previous works.' Despite the mixed reviews, Hollywood Ending has a 6.5/10 rating on IMDb, a 47% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 46/100 rating on Metacritic.
