WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Steve Pulaski Its hard for a viewer of National Lampoon's Last Resort to take this seriously when the movie doesn't even take itself serious. Though a stupid funny movie like Bio-Dome some flaws need to be stated and cant be ignored, but we'll get to them when the times right. The thing that saddens me is that this had potential to be the best Corey Haim and Corey Feldman film. It would take an amazing Comedy to beat License to Drive, but this has the plot, the characters, and the setting to be funny, smart, and have fun with itself. Though the approach this film takes is a mediocre, desperate attempt to be funny. Though parts of the film are chuckles, but forgotten chuckles.Corey Haim and Corey Feldman acted in eight movies with Corey Feldman; Busted, License to Drive, The Lost Boys, Lost Boys 2: The Tribe (doesn't count to me since he had a small shot in the credits, National Lampoon's Last Resort, Dream a Little Dream, Dream a Little Dream 2, and Blown Away. I own every film by them except for Blown Away but have only watched four of them which are all reviewed (except for The Lost Boys). Most of their movies were just mediocre, but they did do good movies together. This is not as great as License to Drive, but not as shameful as Busted.The duo play Sam and Dave who are two slackers recently fired from their dead end fast food jobs who are put to the test to and magically transported to take over Sam's Uncle Rex's Treasure Island resort. The island is facing closure and being taken over by a man named Hemlock. Sam, Dave, and an island slave, scuba instructor Sonja must find a way to put Rex in control of the island and take down Hemlock. The plot is nothing unique, and it seems exaggerated.I didn't read the plot to start out with but I was hoping for something with more spice. If you think about it, this could be a funny movie. If it had better jokes and maybe taken itself seriously it would have been perfect. Though its almost impossible to beat a Haim/Feldman film like License to Drive. That movie had the guys, the girl, and the interesting plot. There wasn't a sign of boring in a single spot in the entire film. It was a flawless teen movie. Though I've been told Lucas beats it by a long shot which I should watch and review soon.So this is one you may want to check out, but I would only get it for very cheap. Do not spend more than about $5.00 on this. Its not worth it. Even though its not meant to be taken seriously, some flaws of the film need to be taken into consideration. Its aggravating the film doesn't take itself serious. How they fall from one scene to the next is pointless and just a sign of laziness on the screenwriter's part not thinking of a logical way to get them to the desired setting. Instead they took the lazy way out and just did the most illogically, impossible way out. Its also annoying the film needs cardboard palm trees as well. May I ask why? But overall, see it if you're a fan, skip it if you like true Comedy.Starring: Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, Maureen Flannigan, Geoffrey Lewis, and Demetra Hampton. Directed by: Rafal Zielinski.
Tracy_Terry_Moore Corey Feldman stars as a young entrepreneur with his virtual reality-obsessed sidekick (Corey Haim) as they try to help their uncle (Geoffrey Lewis) save his resort from the hostile takeover attempt of a deranged corporate raider (Robert Mandan) bent on procuring ownership of the island for himself.Along the way, the boys don't see any harm in having a little fun with a pretty scuba diving instructor/exotic dancer (Maureen Flanagan) if they can all stay clear of the carnivorous iguanas, pink seahorses, and giant beach balls. Maple Pictures' wild National Lampoon summer comedy is OK if you like the two Coreys and have lots of hard liquor on hand.
Idolprincess If you want to see a movie that's pure fluff, something so bad that it's good, that's the movie I'd recommend. I don't think it deserves a better IMDB rate because it's so badly made and pointless, but that's why I loved it so much. In fact I think this is one of my favorite movies because of how crazy it is. There is absolutely no point in this movie. I sometimes felt like this was poking fun at 80's beach party movies, but it was so silly that I must admit it's probably not a parody. However it's so absurd and cheesy that no one can possibly be bored by watching this movie. It's not the type of movie that has bathroom or sex humor all the time, it's just crazy fluff at it's best. I'll repeat myself; if you feel like watching an incredibly bad or stupid movie for your own entertainment, watch this.
