Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

seanprussel I watched about 45 minutes and gave up on it. I am a huge Danny Aiello fan, but he lost it unfortunately with age. He tries too hard to be funny and it doesn't work here. It was interesting seeing an aging Barbara Feldon (in her 70's but still pretty hot)for a couple of scenes, but that's about it.Starts out with a sexually and nerdy repressed church choir boy, and his stud brother who's dying father's last request is that one of them gets married. So the Stud brother gets married and while on his honeymoon, (I think?) he croaks while getting laid. You see his wife's screams of ecstasy is enough to break glass, so glass shards falling on him from a mirrored ceiling does him in. (Believe it or not,funny,not) So, that leaves the nerdy son, and now I think the father's last request is that he gets laid 1st,and then gets married.(never explained that) Weird premise that gets boring fast.He goes about trying to meet woman by way of strippers and escorts. One scene is where a stripper gives him a lap dance and the stripper actually goes into convulsions because she has some type of allergic reaction to his cologne.(This is the type of humor we are dealing with here) Then he tries to consult with an escort. The escort appears to be a washed up porn star who imitates a female Godmother to satirize the Godfather's famous Don Corleone. Yup, very dumb and again painfully not funny. Oh yea, there is nothing funny about seeing an elderly woman fall down a flight of stairs! So as she lays at the foot of the stairs, her family just ignores her, and goes about their business cracking bad jokes with out anyone helping her. I found this to be very disturbing even though they were trying for some type of slapstick humor (I think they were going for a Naked Gun type humor here,and it's not even remotely close)There seemed to be many scenes with old time Italian actors just thrown in there because they are Italian and really do nothing to help this sad movie. When Joe Piscopo came on as the nerdy boy's mentor, I just bagged it, I had enough.(Maybe its me, but has Joe Piscopo ever made a good movie or even been the slightest bit funny since his old SNL days?) I gave this stinker a 2.0!

bnoonan27 A friend told me to rent this film and as usual he was right. This was a very funny film sort of an updated early Woody Allen. The were some great visuals and funny, strange characters. The simplicity of the story, which surprisingly worked in conjunction with the wild humor.The writer was very clever in that he must have written this to appeal to both old and young. The humor being wacky, the story about coming of age, yet much of it was set in an old age home. He was blending the twenty something TR Knight's struggle to grow up with the old peoples struggle just to hang on.Danny Aiello was great playing the dying father, who's last request is for one of his sons to carry on the family name. Without telling you too much TR if forces to quit the seminary and take on the challenge. And a challenge is what he goes through. Using therapy he works past his detached mother to rise to that challenge. It's a very funny, simple movie with lots of laughs and some heart. Rent it.

sabrinaeastwoodtalent I like this film because it had a heartwarming story combined with quirky characters, and lots of funny lines:) There are a lot of familiar actors in The Last Request: Danny Aiello, Tony LoBianco, Mario Cantone, TR Knight from Greys Anatomy, Nick Scotti and many more- Barbara Feldon (Get Smart) steals the screen as the mother- she is so funny! I see this director doing even bigger films down the road- hopefully soon! He's like a modern day Woody Allen combined with movie styles like Airplane etc...very out of the box...the popcorn birth scene was visually captivating- the whole film was shot very, very impressively. The scenes with the senior citizens were the funniest for me, and i heard that the old man singing at the piano is the directors father! He was so cute:) John Debellis, the writer/director, has been known for his past work on Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show, but I'm very impressed with his first film. It's too bad this hasn't gone into the theaters- I would've loved to have seen it on a big screen. I just found out that Johny Depp auditioned for this movie before he was known! I have a screenwriter friend who saw The Last Request with me and will be reaching out to Debellis to direct his latest screenplay. Even without all the celebrity cast, this film works. It's good to see clean comedy is back in style- in this case, in truly unique form!

johnnydeck From the very beginning the film had me laughing and I knew I was in for a very unusual ride. Somehow the writer director managed to blend off beat with even more off beat with a some warmth, especially towards the end of the movie.Tony Lo Bianco and Mario Cantone shared a scene in the church and they were more like a comedy team than two actors working together in a movie. The biggest name in the movie was Danny Aiello who was brilliant as the over the top dying pop. T.R. Knight was perfectly cast as the nerdy son who has to work through all of of his fears on a quest his dying dad wouldn't take no for an answer. He was also matched perfectly with Sabrina Loydd the girl he doesn't know is the one. It's a simple story but anymore and the outlandish jokes wouldn't have worked. This is charming, funny film that somehow is kind of sick at the same time. I loved it. I'm glad I rented it. I'll have to thank the friend who turned me on to this little gem.
