The Be All and End All (2009)
an extremely funny movie
I saw the film at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and I count it among the best films screened there. The movie portrays a teenager who realizes he suffers from a terminal illness and his last wish is to lose his virginity. Since it deals with a sensitive issue of a teenager's death, the movie might have easily inclined to melodrama. However, "The Be All and End All" is far from any of this. The emotions remain covered under sharp teenage talk which is extremely authentic (which is even enhanced by their Liverpool accent). Both young actors are marvelous. Overall, the movie is extremely funny but still giving a true picture of the teenagers - unlike some of the blockbuster teenage comedies you can see these days. If you liked the movie "Juno" with its real-life characters, you are going to like "The Be All and End All", as well. I definitely recommend that you see this movie.
