estelle matus Last of the Romantics is a well-crafted and humorous tale of Parker Graves' struggle to salvage his soul and humanity as he engages the plastic commercial world of advertising. In a unique twist, Parker finds his muse and love object in a recently deceased ballet dancer. "I don't know what you see in her," comments his buddy Miles Bender. "She's hardly the life of the party". Adding to the pleasure of this 90 minute film, is a lush, original score composed by writer/director Vohn Regensburger. Those who enjoyed Sideways will love Last of the Romantics. I found myself absorbed by the dilemma encountered by the film's protagonist and hero and the highly gifted performances of those who help Parker navigate through tempestuous, rocky course that his life has taken. It is easy to identify with a person infatuated with an unavailable object of desire. Many of us will remember the days when we were chasing after the person of our dreams. Dreams need not come true, but we may discover our chosen path.

Tony Tyler No spoilers herein under. The Film: Interesting, thought provoking, Original Ideas and superlative music! This director and retinue deliver the drama and comedy (dramedy) as well as the intelligentsia and an extraordinary (imaginative) plausible interplay of events of the romance. I will see this film again and if anyone knows if there is a CD of the music, let me know! I Enjoyed the film because it provided the opportunity to examine a romance from a unusual perspective that is strangely funny yet artistically devoid of stereotypical themes in any film of this genre I've seen and in this film are subtle nuances and intricate sub-informative outlays of profound proportions that may be missed (another one of the reasons why I need to see this film again!). The Actors: Chris Bruno (Parker) is believable and portrayed his character professionally as did all the actors in the film. Brittany Daniel, Ted Lange, Morgan Margolis and Lisa Labriola. The only actor that I recognized was Ted Lange of the 'Love Boat' series and was surprised to see him in such a low budget film until I saw the movie and realized he read the script and just made a very smart move as all involved in this production did (in my opinion). What I Found Questionable: Does 'Parker' refer to some evasive joke of its own character name? (Do the names of the characters have hidden meanings?) I could write much more about this film except I will defer to vague references as not to 'spoil' it for anyone.

sheilahanson This is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. It has an artistic element to its story-telling that is unique and revealing. It is refreshing to see a film that changes you in a positive manner by the time you leave the theater. The story features Parker Graves, Chris Bruno, a young man who has basically given up on his dream. He works at an advertising agency as a Creative Director, reluctantly leaving behind a world of artistry as a composer. He has a beautiful, wealthy girlfriend Sarah, Brittany Daniel, who adores him. When the story begins, the two are basically at the end of a deteriorating relationship. Even thought they care for one another, they are just on a different spiritual plane. Parker begins to look to the past for answers, reading obituaries and wandering the cemetery looking for some sort of clue to his own existence. Along the way, he befriends a homeless jazz musician Cole, Ted Lange, struggling with his own set of demons. The two form a symbiotic relationship and begin the path of recovery to a better, more meaningful existence. Parker begins to follow his muse, which comes to him in an unexpected form.
