PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

gypsyqueen1979 "We're all born with the weight of death on our shoulders." "When you're born, you cry and the world is happy; When you die, the world cries, and you are happy" I really was not expecting all that I got from this movie. It is said to be a sad movie, but laughable all the same. I agree with that comment. It can make one think, and then re-think one's aspects on life and death. And all that life's inventory has in store for yourself.The actors/actresses surprise. You will see someone, and think to yourself, "I know that person. What show/movie was it I seen them in, or in one case, what music band." Enjoy. Truly worth its' watch.

iamtodd This is really more than you would expect. Not "American Pie" and not the ABC Cancer Movie of the Week, but a nice balance of the two. The movie has more heart and more depth then you would think by looking at the cover, dealing with issues of the past, regret, loss and the afterlife, all of the things you imagine an imminent death would bring. The cast is diverse and interesting. Writer Barry Stringfellow does an excellent job balancing comedy and drama without getting schmaltzy and cliché. I rented it thinking, "Yeah, time for some mindless entertainment," and instead was pleasantly surprised by intelligence and courage the film offers.

mhenbro I thought it was awesome. Particularly the writing. At first, I was afraid that this would be some raunchy "American Pie" type of film with easy, crass jokes and gratuitous nudity. I think we have all seen enough shallow attempts at this type of entertainment. This movie however was fresh and revolved around genuine human emotion. The ups and downs of our life here on earth. In the face of death, what does a teenager do? Well, this one goes out swinging. While he cannot control what is happening to his body, this boy takes charge of the time he has left. It has a sweet, positive message. If this were a Hollywood film, I'm sure they would have found a way for the boy to miraculously live in the end. The truth is, we all die. This film embraces that and makes it entertaining. I found myself laughing one minute and crying the next. The themes in this movie were true to life. The scenes of reconnection with his father were especially touching, leaving the viewer with a bittersweet longing for a world where we live forever with those closest to us. I left the theater feeling pondering life and feeling inspired to make the most of it. Way to go!

Koooch 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!
