I love this movie so much

The Worst Film Ever

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This movie was actually a good film that surprised me a little bit. When I rented it, based on what I had read about it, I was expecting to see a raunchy teen flick. Instead, it turned out to be a not-bad film that balanced comedy and drama in it. In the movie, a teenager is dying from cancer. A foundation that grants wishes to dying youngsters has him appear on television to make his "one last wish," and everyone thinks he is going to ask for a fishing trip with his favorite football player. Instead, he asks for a weekend with a hot supermodel whose bikini-clad image adorns his wall on a poster. We then shift to the supermodel, who is portrayed as somewhat on the hot-tempered side and has totally exasperated her manager. The model is surprised when she learns about the wish and reluctantly agrees to meet him. After a couple disappointing meetings, the boy becomes frustrated too. I will leave the rest to you to watch to figure out what happens. All in all, this was a decent way to spend an hour and a half of your time, and I recommend it. It has both funny and tear-jerking moments.** 1/2 out of ****

I have to admit that I approached this film with a little trepidation at the Tribeca Film Festival. One one hand, the plot sounded a little like it might come out of an afterschool special; but then again, the cast had Cynthia Nixon, Gina Gershon, Wyclef Jean, and I had heard a rumor about a certain movie star cameo. (Which I won't spoil here.) And I knew that Sunny Mabrey, the only thing I remember from XXX2, was in it. Certainly all of these names wouldn't have been attracted by something pedestrian, right? Right. The IMDb and other reviews summarize the plot, so I won't do that here. (Or rant that the film never got a chance to find a theatrical audience. Thanks, Cuban.) But what I will do is tell you that the writing and the acting elevate this film into something pretty special.It's not rare to find a funny film. It's not rare to find a sad film about death. What is rare is to find a film that is honest about its approach to death, and that manages to be both very funny and sad. And while some of the laughs certainly qualify as gallows humor, for anyone that has been through something like this, you will appreciate the filmmakers' open approach of looking at all the shades of this experience.It is a strong testament to the film (and especially the writing) that from the opening scene, you know how this movie is going to end, yet that end is still very affecting. It was definitely more than a little dusty in the theater, if you know what I mean. But the end is not cheap, or manipulative. The emotions that are generated are come by honestly, and true to the spirit of the characters.I'd especially like to mention the performances by all the actors playing the teenagers. These felt like real kids, who were both terrified by the situation, yet doing their best to get through it anyway they can. A lot of reviews have mentioned Michael Angarano, and rightfully so, but Matt Bush and Gideon Click are also excellent, and the three of them create a really strong dynamic. And there is a killer Wyclef Jean song over the end credits.I'll also add that this movie sparked more conversation between my girlfriend and I than any we've seen, and that's really saying something.So buy it, rent it, add it to your Netflix, tell a friend. This is a film that deserves your support. You won't regret giving it a chance.

First of all, I am not sure why IMDb has mistakenly listed this film twice, as it is very confusing when attempting to find the reviews of it. Anyway, I heard about "One Last Thing" from a family member. I love Indie films, and am so glad I didn't wait for this one to come to Sundance or IFC! I had to travel all the way down to the Lower East Side to see it (from Harlem, that's quite a hike!). Too bad it was released in only a few theatres, as it is such a lovely film! I am looking forward to seeing future projects from the talented Barry Stringfellow. The entire cast did an exceptional job, but particularly, Michael Angarano is fabulous as the terminally ill Dylan. His moving performance was so touching at times, he brought me to tears, and then left me shaking my head after catching myself laughing! Again, kudos to Stringfellow for a beautiful script. "One Last Thing" is a really nice family film... very funny yet sensitive. A 'must see' film for the entire family!

Taking my girlfriend to see a movie about a teenage boy that wants to final wish in life to be having a weekend with a supermodel was a really tough sell, but after watching the movie she thanked me! We found ourselves laughing and crying, traveling on emotional journey, and contemplating our own lives, sounds like a what a movie should do to me!Personally, I don't see what's so off about the premise, sounds like exactly what I would have asked for when I was 15, if I had the gumption to ask for it. I'm not much for naming all the names of the actors in the movie, read some of the other reviews for that, though I will say I didn't really get Ethan Hawk as Dylan's dad, but if I was making a movie and Ethan Hawk wanted to be in it make a cool cameo appearance, and he was my bud, I'd say sure what the heh, let's party! Sunny Mabrey (who keeps her clothes on) is plenty hot as the babe though I'm sure if the producers had been able to land say model turned actress ANGELINA JOLIE, you wouldn't be reading this review, you'd have already seen this flick now wouldn't you!
