Movie Info

A far-out comedy about the last three people on Earth and their terrible relationship problems. Alan (David Arnott) is a chubby, socially inept anthropology student making "a serious documentary on how not to screw up the Earth." Alan's vying with Raphael (Dan Montgomery) -- who's far more graceful and distinguished -- for the affections of hottie Sarah (Jeri Ryan). Sounds as though a threesome would solve everything!

R, 1 hr. 43 min.

What might have emerged as hilarious lunacy in the hands of Woody Allen or Mel Brooks (at least during their '70s heyday) comes across as lame and sophomoric in this debut indie feature.

Feeble comedy.

Alan and his fellow survivors are idiosyncratic enough to lift the movie above its playwriting 101 premise.

If The Last Man were the last movie left on earth, there would be a toss-up between presiding over the end of cinema as we know it and another night of delightful hand shadows.

Has its charming quirks and its dull spots.

Intended to be a comedy about relationships, this wretched work falls flat in just about every conceivable area.

It's the end of the world as metaphor for how we scuttle relationships, and it's a remarkably apt one.

Ralston has a clever conceit behind this low-budget effort.

In the end, there isn't much to it.
