I'll tell you why so serious

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I was pretty surprised, i don't like amanda seyfried (sp) she must have a really good agent because she is ugly and a bad actor, but in this she was pretty good. it's a pretty cliche movie about old hag who is lonely, and becomes nice with the help of nice youngsters. she "sees the light". But it was really cute and touching. I didn't like the soundtrack though. Too boring

Enraptured, seeing the star of Shirley MacLaine on the screens is wonderful, a moment to be able to see an actress that we like very much over time, I loved it! I've seen some old movies, but not some I liked, I found it dragged, but the last ones I saw were great, and how she sees her film is like paying homage, just enjoying, absorbing her art, and knowing her, we know she knows everything and more.A delightful film, where we see the relationship issues once again, in a lyrical way, reflect what was your life and still power in the final minutes still give an improvement. A movie to make you reflect on the choices and everything in life. Of course I recommend! Let's have fun with this production, it will touch you and do you good too!The filmmaker is the American Mark Pellington. He was a producer and director, directed several short films and few feature films, and produced some great films like Jerry Maguire (1996) and Almost Famous (2000). As the protagonists are so excellent, Shirley MacLaine, who has 76 presentations, such as Around the World in 80 Days (1956), The Apartment (1960), Being There (1979), The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013). And also a beautiful young Amanda Seyfried, who did Dear John (2010), Mamma Mia! (2008).

This is just the kind of film that my grandparents would enjoy EXCEPT for the language. I should have counted the number of f-bombs.Shirley MacLaine and Amanda Seyfriend were both great and the story was touching and funny. If not for the language I would recommend this much more. It's a shame.

Any film with three generations of women that take a road trip has fall within the main definition of a chick flick. In the case of "The Last Word," this motion picture is offers a star turn to Shirley MacLaine, who plays a retired advertising executive who enlists a young reporter to write her obituary...before she dies.The super control freak played by Miss MacLaine is named Harriett Lauler, who has even conceive for the reporter the four key ingredients of a good obituary in which the deceased is described as having been loved by family, respected by co-workers, beloved of a special person whose life has been uniquely touched, and a "wild card" with an unforgettable opening line in the tribute.Anne Sherman (Amanda Seyfried) has the unenviable task to research Harriett's life and somehow write an obituary that will satisfy the woman who is described by her daughter as having and obsessive-compulsive personality. As Anne interviews Harriet's acquaintances, co-workers, and family members, there are some humorous moments and memorable one-liners, such as Harriett's description of compromise in a marriage: "Compromise meas that two people are miserable instead of one." It was somewhat of a stretch to believe that the young writer had a transformative experience in her relationship, making the decision to pursue her dream of becoming a more substantial writer and traveling to southern Spain to visit the plains of Andalusia. There was also a strained effort to develop the theme of "taking risks" in life "living up to one's potential." Those were the primary factors in how Harriett led her life, as marvelously portrayed by Shirley MacLaine.
