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. As you may have feared, this is a self-indulgent comedy, a $25 million vacation for the cast to hang out and drink and smoke under the guise of making a film. What separates it from Adam Sandler's last few films, which are also vacations masquerading as movies, is that this one's actually funny.
