If YouTube was a movie, this would be the most YouTube movie of them all
Based on their YouTube comedy series, The Last Man(s) on Earth, we find Charan Prabhakar and Brady Bluhm channeling their inner Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, respectively. This is a film that looks like it was a ton of fun to make, though slightly less fun to watch. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it and found the leads to be funny characters, but it still felt like a YouTube length skit that was stretched out to feature length proportions. The filmmakers were also obviously working on a very constrained budget, which added charm at moments and weighed down the film at other times. If you enjoy the camaraderie of Pegg/Frost, then this film might just as well be the lower-budgeted cousin, with a similar character dynamic and humor that wouldn't be out of place in one of their films or TV shows. Overall, a valiant effort and I'd love to see what these guys could do if given the resources to make a decently funded feature.
