This is the End is a movie divided against itself. For every aspect I could praise, there's another I'd have to knock it down for.

How M. Night Shyamalan Went from a Good Director to a Bad Joke

I knew M. Night Shyamalan’s career was over when I saw Inception. More specifically, during the previews.
