the Last Run, is a comedy about this man who loses his girlfriend of 3 years, due to the fact that she's been cheating on him. The only way he can get her out of his mind is to go on a run of sleeping with as many women as he can. What turns out bad for Stephen Goodson (Fred Savage)is he becomes so reliant on sex that he can't even see love right in front of his face. And it's not until a trip to rehab classes and the advice of a 9 years old does Stephen realize that he needs to find away to make things right. Not recommended for a date movie because the romance scenes are few and far between but this is a pretty good movie if your a Savage fan. 7 out of 10 stars!!

"The last run" stands for having sex with as many women as you can get to get over the woman you broke up with! At least that is what is explained and advised by Jack Manning, Steven's (Fred Savage) best friend! When you hear this when said you think this will be something like American Pie! Well,it isn't! It's much more mature and recognizable! The first 40 minutes are great! Fred Savage has to get over his break up and somehow he can't handle it because he really loved her! It is very funny to see this,because most of the dialog and scenes seemed very familiar! And every man has gone through the same phase as he did! At least I did! But then something happens that was over the top! He becomes obsessed and addicted to sex! This is something I can't relate to! Of course it hurts when you break up with someone! But after a while you bounce back and you will find somebody else! And if you have found another you will get over the previous relationship! Fred Savage's character seemed very down to earth and grounded! It is a bit far fetched to say that a person like that to become an sex addict! Too bad they took this direction otherwise this movie would be one hell of a comedy!

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 saw a screening of this in Baltimore a few months ago mainly because I'm a huge Wonder Years fan. This movie is absolutely hilarious. The basic premise is Fred Savage finds out his girlfriend of several years is cheating on him so his best friend tells him to go have sex with as many women as he can to get over her. This movie is very funny, but not stupid humor, there are some really smart moments in it. Plus there are tons of really hot women in it, which is always a good thing. I really hope this movie comes out soon. Every guy in the audience will find themselves nodding as Steve (Savage) goes through many of the same situations that you have also whether it be being dumped, shutdown by a girl at a bar, or just hate your job and your boss. I rarely write movie reviews on here because so many people do but this movie might get missed and I think its an instant classic in the making.

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...

Rebecca: This is so bad it's almost good. Enid: This is so bad it's gone past good and back to bad again. If the Mitchell Brothers were looking for a sure-fire tax loss they might have cranked out a movie like "The Last Run" (2004). They would have taken perverse amusement from plugging a has-been child-star into a grind-house level comedy. Fred Savage was always more narrator than actor and the movie's voice-over commentary probably seemed like a good fit. Unfortunately the script is moronic even by Mitchell Brothers standards and there are no likely "Ivory Snow" mothers in the cast; the women in this movie look like aging escort service girls lured out of a local AA meeting or bowling alley. You know these marginal actresses are high mileage because the script calls for the male characters to incessantly discuss how young and beautiful they are. It does have a pre-"Enchanted" (and then unknown) Amy Adams in the cast. You mostly know this because she gets top billing on the 2007 promotional poster and DVD package (a marketing thing); although she is only in about 10% of the footage, and even then as secondary player in the scenes. During her brief appearances she is responsible for the films only funny moments; not because of what she says but because of the way she says it. She has enough natural comedic talent to make something out of nothing even in a crash-and-burn turkey like "The Last Run". Unless you absolutely have to see everything Adams has appeared in, there is no reason to seek out this DVD. Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

OK, spoilers abound, so don't read if you care. Normally I'd give film like this 5/10 as its lame attempt at comedy. Reason it gets 1/10 is because its obviously written, produced and directed by those clueless about strip clubs, sex industry and PUA in general. As some might have guessed from my name I am the guy who made fortune from PUA over last decade, and if you've read any of those books you know I used to own strip clubs in both USA and Canada. I am only mentioning this to show that I am more than qualified to write this and be right. Whores do not cost thousands of dollars. An A-grade * star in her prime might. A * who works any day other than Friday and maybe Saturday night is broke and needs cash. She will not say line such as 'I don't leave club for under a thousand'. In each strip club, out of 10-20 girls working there during a shift, only few are making good money. Rest are getting scraps. Top strippers in top clubs rarely make a thousand on best nights of their lives. In this film, every ugly girl is charging thousands. In one scene two repulsively unattractive women show up, and guy pays them 400 bucks a piece. While main actor was perfect fit for 'Boy Meets World' fact that he never got chick playing Topanga IRL should make it obvious that girls do not dream about guys like him. So one of very few attractive women in film, a bartender, would be highly unlikely to give him pity sex. Main issue I have with this film is that it feels like it was either made by feminists, or guys who cant get laid and are too stupid to get some any other way than tossing thousands of dollars at ugly girls I'd not do if they paid me. Understand this: women are cheap and easy. Only ugly women who no man wants set higher standards, as they know nobody wants them anyway, so they can at least pretend they are worth something. This movie sucks.

this movie is billed in some places as a comedy-drama, well there weren't any funny scenes here at all and this is not a movie to take the girlfriend/wife to. Wonder Years fans will see this to see what an adult fred savage looks like, well pretty washed up to appear in tripe like this, the movie is at least saved by "rescue me's" steven pasquale whose dominant alpha male role is the base for the film. You don't know whether to feel sorry for steven/fred here and the director tries to tie things up at the end but makes a ham-fisted job of it.
