Movie Info

Simon Geist thinks he's found his niche when he interviews young musicians, actors, and models for his magazine The Next Big Thing. The magazine actually makes fun of these stars and propels Simon to think that he is an important figure, making him an easy target for con artists.

Critic Reviews for The Last Big Thing

All Critics (6) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (2)

The two of them are strangely resilient, and so is the film, a gem from an era of manufactured cult items.

Painfully unhip vanity project, with pretensions to being a scathingly satirical look at the contemporary culture of empty celebrity.
