Some questions...

Well it's been quite some years since I saw this movie (first release 1978) but I remember it pretty well.

At the start of the film Burt is told he has only a short time to live by his doctor. Burt doesn't take this news well. On the way out of the office he notices that the doctor has incorperated himself and Burt says, "Declared dead by a lousy corperation"

He trys confessing his sins to a young priest played by Robby Benson but that doesn't go well

Burt: Bless me father for I have sinned.

Priest: How have you sinned my Child?

Burt: I have sold realestate.

Priest: But that is not a sin.

Burt: I was the way I did it.

Burt tries taking to his ex-wife but that goes no where.

Burt: Remember you were the one who kicked me out.

Ex-wife: Yes. you and two hookers!

Burt: One mistake! One little mistake and you never let a guy forget! And I'll tell you something, out of respect for you the three of us never got on the bed.

But talks to his girl friend(Sally Fields) but she is more conserned about her cat than him.

Burt takes his 12 year old daughter minature golfing and tries to tell her that he is sick but he can't.

He tries to kill himself but fails, and is sent to a mental hospital where he meet mental patient (Don Delaweas). The two form a frienship and escape from the hospital on a quest for Burt to kill himself. but Burt hasn't the guts to do so.

But by creating his friendship with Don Burt realises that life can still have meaning. He doesn't want to die anymore. He want to live as long as he can on whatever terms life will offer. He tells Don this and the two friend confess their love for one another. But Don is still convinsed that Burt really wants to die and so he pulls out a large knife and chases Burt down the beach as he swings the knife back and forth.

The end

Although it`s 2010 now, its on HBO once in a while. Sure your comedy you is written is done be now, i hope. But the scene when talking to Robby Benson (priest) he confesses to cheating on his wife with about 200 women and Benson starts saying wow in amazement and blown away by how many women and thinks its cool. Scene ends with Benson amazed with how many women he has been with, Pretty much the only funny part of movie, so amazed the guy didnt mention that part when he mentioned preist scene? I hope your movie is no where close to this dud. Cant be any worse. As far Dom DeLuies (how his name is spelt) making the movie funny? He never made any movie any funny. So he sure didnt make this one funny, he sucks. Hope your movie better, shoudnt be to hard. I respect Reynolds for turning his career around with the early success and then the 80s came and pretty much every movie had that same story, fast car and same cast of of actors, including DeLuies. But has did some real good work since Boogie Nights (movie he didnt even want to do and also argued about every scene he did with director) shows maybe if he listened to directors in past more, he would have never had such a huge slump? Directed alot of those terrible movies he did. Shows if he had a director that he listened too, most importantly, (cause he obvious was terrible at it) in all those films, he would have told him a decade of same old actors and actresses in your movies is stupid move and that irritating ass ass laugh he did about 10 times a movie made people want to pull thier hair out! As he did in this movie also, even though dying. But was great in Boogie Nights and Mystery Alaska and no stupid ass laugh, thank god, but was great in those 2 movies and earlier movies, but this and most of 80s films and early 90`s? WOW?? What a disaster.

I don't mind answering a question, but damn, dude, do your own homework.


This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.
