Critic Reviews for The Last Man

All Critics (12) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (8)

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.

Lou Lumenick
New York Post
Alan and his fellow survivors are idiosyncratic enough to lift the movie above its playwriting 101 premise.

February 14, 2002 | Rating: 3.5/5

A.O. Scott
New York Times
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.

The Last Man is nonetheless an interesting first feature from a filmmaker who shows considerable promise. Chances are, most of you won't get the chance to see this one in theaters...but a video release is also planned. Seek it out.

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.
