Last Call

Any hope Last Call might skate by on working-class charm is hobbled by Pilladi's timid direction: flat-footed and full of unimaginative choices.

The movie is incredibly weak in the comedy department, and churns out one too many scenes of unbearable guys getting wasted and speaking in a derogatory manner

It's difficult to muster much sympathy for this collection of drunken slackers, while any quirky charm is wiped away by a reliance on narrative cliches.

This movie is vaguely engaging even as everything about it feels contrived.

There are messy movies and shambolic comedies, and then there's whatever the hell "Last Call" is supposed to be.

The result is a movie hobbled by tonal whiplash. It is a film that draws the viewer in with moments of genuine pathos before gobsmacking them with repetitive gags of questionable comedic value.

This drama tries to capture the feel of community in a certain urban neighborhood, but it's totally undone by unlikable characters, dangling plot threads, and a distractingly uneven tone.

Everyone likes a flavorful overview of community spirit, but "Last Call" is aggressively idiotic.
