thiago s @Thiagostone Oct 13, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more TI H @MeInCharacter Aug 7, 2025 Burt Reynolds once explained that he did films like Cannonball Run to raise the necessary funds to make The End. It's the story of a dying man trying to figure out how to handle his situation, which leads us to scenes with his parents, girlfriend, ex-wife, daughter, best friend, and even Robby Benson as a priest. Although death and suicide are serious topics, you wouldn't know it watching this truly funny comedy. The movie almost feels like a joke: a dying man walks into a bar. . . Or how many Pollacks does it take to help you kill yourself? The over-the-top approach leads to some great laughs, made funnier by the all-star cast. See more Blu B @RT43513976 Jan 2, 2025 I give Reynolds some credit. I wasn't expecting much but he made a very weak script entertaining. I genuinely laughed quite a few times and they were real big ones. He has a half decent eye for good humor. The soundtrack is just alright and really forgettable. The editing is just alright too which is kind of a miracle given how weak the story is. Once he gets the terminal diagonsis, it feels like stuff just happens honestly. His daughter, girlfriend, ex, killing himself, the relationship with Dom all feels like none of it really forms a cohesive narrative. However, that being said everything else isn't half bad. Reynolds is actually pretty solid throughout and the best thing easily. He has such strong charisma and screen prescene I can see why he was such a big star in the era. Some of the gags are also pretty funny visually as well. But at the same time the humor can get a bit repetitive at times, doesn't always land, and sometimes especially with DeLouise's stuff it feels like it becomes borderline slapstick more than a dark comedy. His stuff can feel so random and out of place and while he as tremendous energy, I don't feel like he has the best chemistry with Reynolds at times. It's a miracle it's as half decent as it is, but it needed a MUCH stronger script, less Three Stooges like gags, and a catchier soundtrack. Anyone who is a big Reynolds fan or maybe even Dom should check this out.

He was also hysterically funny. This movie about a very serious topic-a man dying and coming to terms with the Knowledge-is very funny. Dom Deluise is hysterical and a great partner for Reynolds. Sally Field plus the straight role with Grace. The supporting cast is very good-Norman Fell as the Dr and Robby Benson as the young priest. The comedic direction is masterful in the underrated, now classic comedy. This holds up well. See more uncle p @RT30466687 Feb 1, 2021 Summary: (2.5/5) The cast was middling, the story was weak, and the film felt too long. A thumbs down. Story/Screenplay: (2.5/5) Yawn. The humor in this comedy just didn't age well. Had potential, but it wasn't really funny. Duration/Tempo: (3/5) At 1 hour and 40 minutes, it's a shorter than average movie that felt about average in length. With little comedy in this comedy, there just wasn't enough content to drive the film. Cast & Crew: (3/5) If there were any laughs to be found, Dom DeLuise provided them. Burt Reynolds and Sally Field were good, but their performances suffered from a mediocre screenplay. See more Read all reviews
