I was never a huge fan of Fred Savage. However, Savage really did a spectacular job in this film and I was impressed. The comedic timing of several moments in the movie were impeccable... whether it was the acting, directing, editing, or all of the above, it as overall great. As the movie progresses it becomes very dark and you feel for what the protagonist (antagonist) is going through. Savage makes you empathize for him. Relationships with all characters were organic and developed. The director Segal did an amazing job at showing the human as an onion showing all layers of who we are and at the same time adding an element of humor to lighten the darkness of what lies deep within all of us as humans. Humor in Honesty... Many props to Segal. A Definite must see!!

To say giving away plot details might spoil this film is to say that one ruins a dog turd when he steps in it. So grossly and thoroughly detestable are every single one of the major characters that the viewer is left wondering whether the film's writer-director despises them as much as we do, or, rather more disturbingly, expects us to sympathise with them and the perverse self-constructed yuppie purgatory they inhabit.Rather than being developed or employed in the service of thematic exploration, the characters are a series of stonewashed stereotypes who don't so much bounce off each other as float around in the same narrative effluent.A creeping sense of impending dreadfulness immediately sets in when The Last Run opens with that most reviled bit of cinematic narrative shorthand, the photo-montage-with-first-person-voice-over. We are reluctantly introduced to Steven (Fred Savage), a 28 year old accountant who has been dating Chloe, an allegedly gorgeous model, for the last three years and is as...Screw it, this film isn't worth the time. Suffice to say, it is as mirthless, irritating and interminable as a conversation with one of its main characters might be. Never before did 97 minutes seem so long, when it finished my watch was running four hours fast. The best that can be said for this film is that it is the first to have apparently punctured the space-time continuum.

I guess a lot of people loved this movie too because after days of waiting for it to be returned to the Blockbuster shelves, I finally got my hands on it last night. I invited friends over, made a large tub of popcorn, and opened a few bottles of wine. First off we were so excited to see the all grown up Fred Savage. Not only did the writers script the male characters exactly how they are in NYC, they made a movie that boyfriends will not complain about watching with their girlfriends. Line after line, scene after scene, my friends and I could relate! It was like a chick flick for guys! It reminded me of Knocked Up, but I thought this movie was funnier. Pure genius. What a great movie!!! Definitely watch this one, you'll love it!!

I love this movie!  It's like Sideways crossed with Wedding Crashers and sprinkled with a dash of AWESOME. And it gets better every time you watch it, which is the sign of a truly great movie!!! My girlfriend and I rented it on vacation in Greece (where it came out earlier on DVD) and couldn't stop talking about it. And now its thankfully available in the states.Fred Savage is Giamatti, only younger and with twice the issues. Its his best acting job yet because he's more that just a vulnerable little spud. He brings out the many sides of someone going through a (early) mid life crisis, making it not just a fun comedy. The themes reach deep!  It's a cautionary dating tale for the modern age, which is why, as I stated above, it just may be the ultimate break up movie.One last thought... I hope they come out with a "The Last Run" calendar!!! You'll understand why after you've seen the movie...
