Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
mdtrot This has to be one of the finest films I've seen in years. To me, Reynolds was completely believable as a shallow Vic Edwards finally examining his life choices. The pacing and timing of his lines is impeccable, which adds to the emotional impact of the film. I also thought Ariel Winter was excellent as the immature and emotionally labile Lil.
arlene-67-318430 I've always been a Burt Reynolds fan, but this one blew me away. Probably his best role ever. Even he said it's the most honest role he ever has or ever will play. The part was written just for him. Ariel Winter is also wonderful. Quite the combination. This is a must see!
marksez Until the "Smokey and the Bandit" scene, I was about to turn this movie off. It started as a sad and slow story about an old lonely has-been actor who travels to Nashville for what he thinks is a big deal award ceremony that turns out to be and extremely low budget nerdy fan festival. Vic/Burt gets drunk and angry. We see that he is a sad, faded shadow of his former self. Ick. The moment we find old Bert seated in the passenger seat next to young Bert driving the black "Smokey and the Bandit" Firebird, the movie comes to life.The relationship between old Burt (Vic) and Lil adds a real charm to both characters. It becomes more than a buddy road movie. They both come away with a new view of life.Burt reliving his life's great memories both as Vic and as Burt touches all his fans. Of course, the movie is about aging for all of us, and it delivers that message in a sweet and powerful way.It's worth seeing
mherrin-43253 The Last Movie Star: Written and directed by Adam RifkinThe Last Movie Star stars Burt Reynolds as a former aging movie star who accepts a lifetime achievement award being given by a film festival run by kids fresh out of film school in a bar in Nashville. He thinks he is going to be given first class treatment when it is quite the opposite. He is taken by surprise with sitting coach, being chaffeured by Ariel Winter's barely running junkyard ornament and staying at a motel 6 like establishment. But being back in his home state reliving his life makes him confront what has become of it.I have to say first off that I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I was expecting a funny little comedy and I got a poignant thoughtful treatise on aging and being grateful for what you have. I was caught offguard to say the very least. This is Burt Reynolds' show all the way and it is easily his best performance since Boogie Nights perhaps even better than. He brings such raw emotion to the proceedings that you are blown away. He deserves all kinds of awards for what he brought to this film.This movie also has a whole host of interesting actors from Ariel Winter in a very loud bombastic performance, Clark Duke who we might remember a bit from Hot Tub Time Machine(the first one obviously) and Nikki Blonsky from Hairspray. I have to admit that the little film festival that could brought back some memories of film festivals very similar to that I attended. I might have a tiny bit of a bias when it comes to that. I loved even the terrible films I saw. It was a treat to relive that. This was a warm and exceptionally well done movie with the Burt Reynolds' performance of a lifetime attached to it. This was a pleasant watch and you will not regret seeing this wonderful movie. I give this movie a B.
