Review of Last Resort

Last Resort (II) (1994 Video)
1/10
Beyond lame.

Let me set the record straight. I love bad movies especially when they're done honestly by a cast that is giving it their all and genuinely are trying to make something good. I love parodies where the subject material is given a good thrashing in the process. And I love screwball comedies where the point is simply to make you laugh at the antics. This movie is none of the above. It exists in a class all by itself and is legitimately one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life.

Back in the 80's and early 90's, cinema had two very familiar faces in Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. Collectively they were known is "the two Coreys" and they had starred in several movies together such as "The Lost Boys" and "License to Drive". They had some good chemistry together and soon were paired in several other vehicles unfortunately most of them were crap. This is one of those movies.

To call this movie unfunny is to devalue the word "unfunny". I can see what it was they were trying to do. Namely have a wacky, screwball comedy of two guys trying to save a Caribbean resort. Corey Haim plays a guy that has just been fired from his fast food job and Corey Feldman plays a douchebag. Oddly enough the cover of the video doesn't show him sporting his fedora which is odd as he wears it in just about every scene. But it's not the same fedora. No. He has a colored hatband added to it to accentuate his outfit. His outfit that often times has no sleeves to it. Even his suit jackets and shirts have no sleeves. Comedy?

I'll be honest in that I couldn't get through half an hour of this movie. The jokes were obvious. The acting was crap. And the two Coreys were trying desperately to show how cool they were.

This isn't a movie. This is a cry for help. Avoid at all costs.
