National Lampoon's Last Resort (1994)

Purely Joyful Movie!

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

This movie is deliberately absurd, fast-paced, pop-art, low-budget, witty/dumb silliness. It's like a long episode of the Monkees with a more creative script and, in Feldman, Haim, Geoffrey Lewis, and Tony Longo, better comic actors. Haim plays Feldman's sidekick much like Costello played Abbott's, and for this goofy movie (unlike some of Haim's other movies), that approach works great. I don't think Abbott ever just rapidly responded "You're annoying me..." to a Costello remark, or introduced him to some women as "This bouncy thing...," but it's funny when Feldman does it. If you have an axe to grind with either of the Coreys or with comedies in which both leads play idiots, good luck to you. If you don't, this is a similar movie in many ways to Earth Girls Are Easy starring Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum (which currently has a 5.0 on IMDb) or Broken Lizard's Club Dread (5.4), and it is certainly more consistently funny than, say, Sex And The Single Girl starring Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood (6.5) or Robert Altman's Pret-A-Porter aka Ready To Wear (4.8).

I thought it was going to be reaally bad at first, but then it turned out to be so bad it was hilarious. I love this movie, and even my boyfriend-who first looked at me as though I was insane for putting it on-decided he loved it too. It's just, so outlandish, it's great. Plus who can help but love the Coreys? Yes, the plot is silly, and the sets weren't realistic--but that is the point. It's supposed to be an all around silly movie. It is a great choice for hanging out with some friends and just laughing. Especially if you like Corey and Corey! So, if you like to laugh at outrageous lines, costumes, sets, and overall acting...then you will like this movie.

I absolutely love this movie. Obviously it's not a movie to take seriously but just to amuse you in general. It is just like all the other corey and corey movies, it doesn't make much sense but it is pretty funny. Corey feldmans uncle needs help saving his island, so what does feldman do? Enlists Corey Haim of course! The two go undercover to try to save the island. Now some of the background looks horrible but I believe its intended that way and it adds to the hilarity. Honestly I believe the whole movie is supposed to appear to be cheaply done but it pays off. Anyone who is a fan of cheesy comedies should definitely give this movie a chance. I constantly watch it and it always amuses me. 9/10

If you want to see a movie that's pure fluff, something so bad that it's good, that's the movie I'd recommend. I don't think it deserves a better IMDB rate because it's so badly made and pointless, but that's why I loved it so much. In fact I think this is one of my favorite movies because of how crazy it is. There is absolutely no point in this movie. I sometimes felt like this was poking fun at 80's beach party movies, but it was so silly that I must admit it's probably not a parody. However it's so absurd and cheesy that no one can possibly be bored by watching this movie. It's not the type of movie that has bathroom or sex humor all the time, it's just crazy fluff at it's best. I'll repeat myself; if you feel like watching an incredibly bad or stupid movie for your own entertainment, watch this.
