Last Call

I can't believe I spent money to watch this movie. I'm no movie critic, but this had to be the worst screenplay ever submitted to any movie studio! Who approved this?? Zero plot, zero character development, zero humor. Seriously, very unlikeable characters. Whoever is giving positive reviews has to be related to the so-called writer or director. Really bad movie.

An insipid, uninteresting, disappointing movie lacking in almost every department. The writing is absolutely useless, there is no development whatsoever for any of the characters. Love line (or what it really meant to be) is highly implausible, Piven and Manning have below zero chemistry together. Honestly, it's so bad, it's ridiculous. The weird condition, which was for some unimaginable reason assigned to the protagonist, kept to be reiterated in several scenes for no reason at all. Lots of drunk people talking rubbish, and that's it. No wonder the actors looked like they were bored to even be on set.

I give it four stars just because I like stories of saved neighborhoods, and "Last Call" could have been so much better had the makers put a little more effort in it. I say, re-watch "Two-Weeks Notice" instead, don't waste your time and money on this one.

Was excited to watch this film as I grew up in Upper Darby PA where this film was based on. But the plot never took off, was really slow and disjointed and was hard for me to connect with any of the characters. As it ended, I found myself asking what just happened and it can't be over - as the story never really materialized. It was semi-entertaining at times and had a few laughs, but wasn't really ever engaged with it.

As a former resident of Upper Darby and a UDHS graduate, I was very disappointed in this movie. If this group of characters typify current residents with no jobs, incessant drinking, and childish games while living in a seemingly run-down neighborhood, I'm happy to be a former resident. The plot was woefully under-developed and the dialogue was at times hard to follow. Manning's character at one time said that they'd been working to revitalize the neighborhood for years but the visuals showed no evidence of that which found me rooting for Piven's character's casino project. Like others, I would have preferred to see the movie shot in Upper Darby with actual locals like Bradley Cooper and Tina Fey starring. Heck, how can you do a movie about Upper Darby without a single shot of the 69th Street shopping area???

A totally useless film. The actors are blameless, especially since they have to play despite the absence of a script. It's a real waste of time and a deep boredom.
