The Last Request (I) (2006)
9/10
Very Funny Film
29 April 2008
I rented this film on the advice of a friend, who usually makes me regret listening to him. Not this time. Maybe it was the mood I was in but it just plain made me laugh. It started out crazy and ended nicely, maybe a little too cute.

The lines were great. Danny Aiello delivered them with the timing of an old Catskill comic. T.R. Knight played the son. My friend didn't even tell me he was in it. I found out when I got the box. TR played the nerdy loser in away that he wasn't so much nerdy but just had a continual run of bad luck. It was great to see Barbara Feldon again. She looks great and still has the impeccable timing she had on Get Smart. She delivers material effortlessly and maybe that's why she can make the absurd work so well.

It's strange Indy film, stranger than most in that it's in part very commercial, but yet at the same time off beat enough that you wouldn't think it would be. I can see this film getting more recognition as the years go bye. It's a winner and for once my friend was right.
