The Last Run (2004)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Don't Believe the Hype

Best movie of this year hands down!

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Rebecca: This is so bad it's almost good.Enid: This is so bad it's gone past good and back to bad again.If the Mitchell Brothers were looking for a sure-fire tax loss they might have cranked out a movie like "The Last Run" (2004). They would have taken perverse amusement from plugging a has-been child-star into a grind-house level comedy. Fred Savage was always more narrator than actor and the movie's voice-over commentary probably seemed like a good fit.Unfortunately the script is moronic even by Mitchell Brothers standards and there are no likely "Ivory Snow" mothers in the cast; the women in this movie look like aging escort service girls lured out of a local AA meeting or bowling alley. You know these marginal actresses are high mileage because the script calls for the male characters to incessantly discuss how young and beautiful they are.It does have a pre-"Enchanted" (and then unknown) Amy Adams in the cast. You mostly know this because she gets top billing on the 2007 promotional poster and DVD package (a marketing thing); although she is only in about 10% of the footage, and even then as secondary player in the scenes. During her brief appearances she is responsible for the films only funny moments; not because of what she says but because of the way she says it. She has enough natural comedic talent to make something out of nothing even in a crash-and-burn turkey like "The Last Run". Unless you absolutely have to see everything Adams has appeared in, there is no reason to seek out this DVD.Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

To say giving away plot details might spoil this film is to say that one ruins a dog turd when he steps in it. So grossly and thoroughly detestable are every single one of the major characters that the viewer is left wondering whether the film's writer-director despises them as much as we do, or, rather more disturbingly, expects us to sympathise with them and the perverse self-constructed yuppie purgatory they inhabit.Rather than being developed or employed in the service of thematic exploration, the characters are a series of stonewashed stereotypes who don't so much bounce off each other as float around in the same narrative effluent.A creeping sense of impending dreadfulness immediately sets in when The Last Run opens with that most reviled bit of cinematic narrative shorthand, the photo-montage-with-first-person-voice-over. We are reluctantly introduced to Steven (Fred Savage), a 28 year old accountant who has been dating Chloe, an allegedly gorgeous model, for the last three years and is as...Screw it, this film isn't worth the time. Suffice to say, it is as mirthless, irritating and interminable as a conversation with one of its main characters might be. Never before did 97 minutes seem so long, when it finished my watch was running four hours fast. The best that can be said for this film is that it is the first to have apparently punctured the space-time continuum.

I guess a lot of people loved this movie too because after days of waiting for it to be returned to the Blockbuster shelves, I finally got my hands on it last night. I invited friends over, made a large tub of popcorn, and opened a few bottles of wine. First off we were so excited to see the all grown up Fred Savage. Not only did the writers script the male characters exactly how they are in NYC, they made a movie that boyfriends will not complain about watching with their girlfriends. Line after line, scene after scene, my friends and I could relate! It was like a chick flick for guys! It reminded me of Knocked Up, but I thought this movie was funnier. Pure genius. What a great movie!!! Definitely watch this one, you'll love it!!

I heard about this movie, and now that I've finally seen it, "The Last Run" is better than I even imagined. I saw "Knocked Up" with my girlfriend the day it opened and thought that was the funniest movie I'd seen in a while. But "The Last Run" was even funnier! Fred Savage is classic, Steven Pasquale is ten times better than Paul Rudd, and Amy Adams has never looked better. "The Last Run" is smart and edgy and the writing is incredibly sharp. This is a movie that should have been released on 3000 screens and grossed $100 million. I'm going to watch it again and again because there are so many lines that are sure to become classics. I hope that this movie gives Fred Savage a whole new career because his talents as a comedic actor have been overlooked. Whatever movies you rent this summer, make sure "The Last Run" is on your list.
