Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This movie is bafflingly bad in such a beautiful way. I genuinely am unsure whether they knew this movie would be bad or not. Harvey Keitel plays a mafia don who passes his empire on to his oafish Korean son (who looks about the same age as Keitel) Young-gu. Young-gu is such a bizarre character. His decisions make no sense except to get him into wacky farcical situations. Along the way he falls in love with a woman who is young enough to be his granddaughter. He also literally changes the dynamic of the world (invents the beehive, mini skirt and big mac). I don't know why this movie exists or how it got the quality of stars it has (was this really the best job offer Harvey Keitel got?). This movie is a must watch for fans of very bad movies. The plot is nonsense, the characters motivations boil down to being goofy and the entire premise is flawed. If you want to watch an old Korean man act like a cartoon character and Harvey Keitel try to work around that, I highly recommend The Last Godfather. If you want to watch a good movie, watch literally anything else.

Sure The last Godfather is silly and stereotypical. It's also nice and sometimes very funny. Just look at it the same way as you looked at good old slapstick. We don't expect Buster Keaton and Laurel and Hardy to be politically correct, do we? Besides spoofing the mafia genre it also turns Romeo and Juliet into a comedy. Those who complain about the "retarded Asian" stereotype - Younggu is also a very likable character. Moreover he wins, after accidentally inventing new fashion and the Big Mac. There is no need to leave your house to watch this in cinema, but there is no need to avoid it when on television either. It could have done with more jokes and not all of them are great. Still there are enough for some silly enjoyment.

This movie is not excellent but it makes us (me and my kids) laugh. From the beginning, my kids didn't pay attention too much but sooner of later they laughed... Not bad as 2 or 3 out of 10 I think...I agree that Most kids will enjoy it.butif you have a plan to watch this (in case of adult only), there are better movies out there.I think if you want to have funny time with your family, I recommend.have fun.

Shim had made movies for only kids for more than 10 years in Korea. The reviewers here saw this movie seem as adults. I don't watch Shim's movies since I became over 13. I don't know why you guys saw this movie???? Maybe there was something wrong with critics' review because I don't see they pointed this in their reviews. But in Korea, everyone knows, his movie is only watched by kids. It's more than Power ranger movie in US, pure 99% kid's movie. Because the reviewers of this movie here are adults and rate this movie in their level, the rate is also meaningless. For a little remedy, I'm giving 10 rating. It's that so funny to kids' eyes.
