SummarySwimming With The Best of Them
Content
Burt Reynolds allows us to laugh at ourselves by our bargining skills that we have developed with God. Towards the end of the of the movie, Burt discovers that he wants to live, and thus bargins with God to let him live after attempting to drown himself by swimming out to sea. To show his sincerity to God, he dedicates at first 80 percent of his yearly earning and holding to the church. As Burt gets closer to shore and sees that in fact he will make it out alive, he lowers the percentage to a fraction of the original 80 percent earlier promised. The movie starts slow, but finishes with a punch by reminding all of us that we are not so different after all in private.

SummaryDeluise is the one who really makes it work!
Content
Face it! The first half of this moviwe is not that good. The only real funny moment is provided by veteran Gangster film actor Pat O'brien playing Reynolds's painter obsessed father ("Last time you got up from that chair it was on fire"). But once Reynolds is committed to the loony bin for attempted suicide and he meets Deluise the film really comically takes off like a jet plane. Best scenes are the one where Deluise tries to help Reynolds jump off a high building and the climatic last scene.

SummaryFunny but Not For The Easily Offended!
Content
The End is a dark comedy about a man played by Burt Reynolds who has had a extremely bad day including being told by his doctor that he has a terminal ilness and is going to die so he tries to kill himself but is discovered by a cop and taken to a mental hospital where he meets a deranged patient played by Dom Deluise.

Burt Reynolds was very good and of course so was Dom Deluise in his hilarious scene stealing performance and also very good are Joanne Woodward as Burt Reynold's ex-wife, Sally Field as his ditzy girlfriend and Kristy McNichol as his daughter but unfortunately she only had a tiny cameo.

The subject matter of this dark comedy may offend some people so I would definitely not buy this or recommend this to anyone who you think may get upset at the humor in the movie and have a hissy fit, but anyone who likes a good dark comedy should be able to enjoy it.
