The Be All and End All is a British comedy-drama film from 2009 starring Neve McIntosh, Leanne Best, and Liza Tarbuck. It was directed by Bruce Webb and written by David Solomons. The film follows two teenage boys, Robbie (Josh Bolt) and Ziggy (Eugene Byrne), who have been best friends since childhood. They are both approaching their 18th birthdays and are anxiously awaiting their exam results, which will determine their future paths. Robbie is confident and ambitious, with dreams of going to university and becoming a doctor, while Ziggy is more laid back and wants to travel the world. However, their plans are thrown into chaos when Robbie is diagnosed with a fatal heart condition and given only a few weeks to live.

Desperate to help his friend fulfill his dreams, Ziggy comes up with a plan to set Robbie up with a girl named Georgia (Leanne Best), whom he believes could be the perfect match for him. Georgia is a smart and ambitious student who is also dealing with her own family issues. At first, Robbie is reluctant to go along with the plan, but eventually he and Georgia strike up a relationship.

As they spend time together, Robbie and Georgia begin to fall in love, but the shadow of Robbie's illness looms over their happiness. Meanwhile, Ziggy becomes increasingly desperate to find a way to save his friend's life, even if it means betraying the trust of those closest to him.

The Be All and End All deals with themes of friendship, love, and mortality. It portrays the struggles and complexities of adolescence, as well as the impact of illness on young people's lives. The film's characters are well-drawn and fully-realized, with strong performances by the cast.

Neve McIntosh plays Robbie's mother, whose grief and despair at her son's diagnosis is palpable. Liza Tarbuck plays Georgia's mother, a warm and supportive figure who provides a counterbalance to the more dysfunctional families in the film. However, it is the two young leads, Josh Bolt and Leanne Best, who really shine in their roles. Bolt brings a sensitivity and vulnerability to Robbie, while Best imbues Georgia with intelligence and wit.

Overall, The Be All and End All is a well-crafted and emotionally resonant film. It manages to tackle difficult subject matter with humor and heart, and leaves a lasting impression on its audience.
