This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

I did not think this would be worth watching, so I avoided it. It was only last year and this was the only thing on that I attempted to watch this film. The film it self is about a terminally ill boy who's last wish is to go on a date with a model. The story is truly touching and deserves recommendation for that. Anyone who loves a movie will love this movie with its humour and dramatic experiences found all through the movie. I think this should go down as one of the better attempts from people to make Comedy/Dramas this year. The only drama I can remember that is WAY better then it in this century is Garden State. Overall this film is a good watch and I think fans of cinema will really get a kick out of seeing. You SHOULD see this film.

One Last Thing is pretty much misrepresented by trailers and even by the DVD box itself. It sort of looks like a teen comedy filled with rude jokes and a National Lampoon's type film and that isn't the case at all!! Relatively new director Alex Steyermark and TV Writer Barry Stringfellow make a very moving and touching film and best of all a very real film about a teenager with terminal cancer. On top of that he interweaves a story about a super model who lost her grip on reality and in the process lost her true love and everything she believed in. The story and film is really about life and death and the struggle with it and it's brilliant!! The lead characters are brilliant and the story is captivating and touching.Young but veteran and talented actor Michael Angarano gives an honest to God Oscar worthy performance as typical teenager Dylan Jameison. The only thing about Dylan is that he is dying of cancer. Still haunted and emotionally distraught over the loss of his father he is dealing with trying to be an average kid and deal with his death feeling as though he doesn't believe in an afterlife. Angarano is so believable and heartfelt and you really connect with him and he truly does an amazing job. Cynthia Nixon plays Dylan's Mom Carol and although she kind of has more of a supporting role does a terrific job at that. This is the second time I've seen Cynthia Nixon in a role besides Sex and The City and she has done an outstanding job (the first being the absolutely phenomenal Warm Springs.) Nixon is great and she shows being a caring and concerned mother while having to deal with losing her son and already having lost her husband. Sunny Mabrey plays the object of Dylan's obsession...his "One Last Thing.." super model Nikki Sinclaire. Mabrey is terrific as the self involved, obsessive and lonely model. She slowly begins to realize what she lost by not staying grounded and she sees that through Dylan's strength while he dies. The two of them together although they share only a little screen time is sweet and lots of chemistry between them despite the age difference. Matt Bush, and Gideon Glick play Dylan's best friends and at first I thought they were overused and out of place as the wise cracking, rather immature stoner buddies but then I realized these guys ARE your typical teenager and they were dealing with the cancer and death of their best friend as well in their own way. I do still think they might have been a little misplaced in the film but they are there and they do a decent job. Ethan Hawke plays a strangely very small cameo as Dylan's Dad in flashbacks and dreams.The film is really made by the chemistry and story between Dylan, Nikki and Carol. This film is just everything you don't expect. It's really a dark comedy and definitely no really laugh out loud moments but instead very touching elements of drama and moving moments of life lessons and clarity. This one truly is a hidden gem that might not have made a big splash but it's so definitely well worth seeing. If you love a good story, maybe even some tears and laughter then One Last Thing is the absolute must see!! It's just a warm and tender film. 9/10

One of the most wonderful and touching movies i have ever seen. I am not a crier at movies, but this one got me. The cast does a phenomenal job, and despite what some say, have an excellent feel for how to handle the film's dual genre. Michael Angarano does a superb job as the terminally ill boy, and his two buddies Slap and Ricky( Gideon Glick and Matt Bush) are in a way the best part of the movie, playing likable and hormone driven best pals. Cynthia Nixon as the young boy's grieving mother gives a deeply moving performance. The on screen relationship between Nixon and Angarano is authentic and a treasure to watch. I have seen some rather harsh critique of this film, and frankly cannot fathom it.The film splices comedy and drama well, and creates a beautiful portrayal of a young boy's last days around those who are closest to him, and his last wish(ill leave you to watch the movie to find out about this). The song at the end, Wyclef Jean's "Heavens in New York" is beautiful, and devastatingly poignant.

First of all, I am not sure why IMDb has mistakenly listed this film twice, as it is very confusing when attempting to find the reviews of it. Anyway, I heard about "One Last Thing" from a family member. I love Indie films, and am so glad I didn't wait for this one to come to Sundance or IFC! I had to travel all the way down to the Lower East Side to see it (from Harlem, that's quite a hike!). Too bad it was released in only a few theatres, as it is such a lovely film! I am looking forward to seeing future projects from the talented Barry Stringfellow. The entire cast did an exceptional job, but particularly, Michael Angarano is fabulous as the terminally ill Dylan. His moving performance was so touching at times, he brought me to tears, and then left me shaking my head after catching myself laughing! Again, kudos to Stringfellow for a beautiful script. "One Last Thing" is a really nice family film... very funny yet sensitive. A 'must see' film for the entire family!
