Very well executed

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Good movie but grossly overrated

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

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.

This movie was actually a good film that surprised me a little bit. When I rented it, based on what I had read about it, I was expecting to see a raunchy teen flick. Instead, it turned out to be a not-bad film that balanced comedy and drama in it. In the movie, a teenager is dying from cancer. A foundation that grants wishes to dying youngsters has him appear on television to make his "one last wish," and everyone thinks he is going to ask for a fishing trip with his favorite football player. Instead, he asks for a weekend with a hot supermodel whose bikini-clad image adorns his wall on a poster. We then shift to the supermodel, who is portrayed as somewhat on the hot-tempered side and has totally exasperated her manager. The model is surprised when she learns about the wish and reluctantly agrees to meet him. After a couple disappointing meetings, the boy becomes frustrated too. I will leave the rest to you to watch to figure out what happens. All in all, this was a decent way to spend an hour and a half of your time, and I recommend it. It has both funny and tear-jerking moments.** 1/2 out of ****

In telling a story which all too easily could have been an old-fashioned tearjerker, "One Last Thing" is audaciously unsentimental. (It's fair to assume a reader knows the premise.) As a person who once harbored teenagers, I was knocked out by the reality of two scenes, the first with 16-year old Dylan & his two best friends:either Mr. Stringfellow has total recall, or he's been a fly in the wall where hormone-riddled boys hang out. The other was a scene with Dylan & his mother in a car in the course of which the boy justifies smoking pot because he's terminally ill, so what more can 'they' do to him?While making us laugh, the dialogue tells us everything we should know about the son-mother relationship. The film intertwines sadness & comedy. I suspect that if "One Last Thing" were Mexican or Italian or French it would have received wider theatrical; release..

Taking my girlfriend to see a movie about a teenage boy that wants to final wish in life to be having a weekend with a supermodel was a really tough sell, but after watching the movie she thanked me! We found ourselves laughing and crying, traveling on emotional journey, and contemplating our own lives, sounds like a what a movie should do to me!Personally, I don't see what's so off about the premise, sounds like exactly what I would have asked for when I was 15, if I had the gumption to ask for it. I'm not much for naming all the names of the actors in the movie, read some of the other reviews for that, though I will say I didn't really get Ethan Hawk as Dylan's dad, but if I was making a movie and Ethan Hawk wanted to be in it make a cool cameo appearance, and he was my bud, I'd say sure what the heh, let's party! Sunny Mabrey (who keeps her clothes on) is plenty hot as the babe though I'm sure if the producers had been able to land say model turned actress ANGELINA JOLIE, you wouldn't be reading this review, you'd have already seen this flick now wouldn't you!
