DVD Reviews of The End
DVD Review: "Fifty Percent. Lord! I'm Talking Gross."
Summary: 4 Stars
In the late 1970's and early 1980's, Burt Reynolds was at the top of his game. His movies, while sometimes lacking in depth, were box office smashes. In between the two movies he starred-in that were directed by Hal Needham, "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper," he directed and starred in "The End," a black comedy that was inspired by his own touch with an extended illness.
This is a very funny movie in which Reynolds, as Sonny Lawson, a real estate broker who discovers he has a terminal blood disease, decides he cannot wait to die, and he tries, unsuccessfully, to commit suicide, often with the help of Dom DeLuise, a deranged mental patient he meets along the way.
Burt has a natural gift for acting in comedy, as was shown in his movies "Smokey and the Bandit," "The Longest Yard," and his television series "Evening Shade," but there are times during "The End" where you feel that any other director would have kept him from overacting in several scenes, noteably the fishtank scene in the doctor's office. Had it not been for those types of scenes, I would have given "The End" five stars.
One personal note about "The End." I remember seeing it at a "sneak" preview in Birmingham, Alabama, with Burt, Sally Fields and Hal Needham in the theatre. Sally and Hal were two rows behind me, and Mr. Reynolds was in the projectionist's room (all of them travelled up to Birmingham from Tuscaloosa, where they were filming "Hooper.") The "preview" must of been agonizing to Mr. Reynolds because everyone in the theatre was trying to see him, and no one was paying attention to the movie. After several scenes went by with absolutely no laughs and only after occasional screams from the women in the theatre when someone would say, "There he is," did Mr. Reynolds give-up trying to look through the projectionist's window and resigned himself to sitting away from the projectionist's window until the movie was over. That was a great evening for a movie goer in Alabama.
