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 would have at least given this film a 4/10 for effort, but even at 90 minutes it really tries your patients. Rafal Zielinski (director of 'Fun (1994)' and the underrated 80's teen comedy 'Screwballs (1983)') attempts to capture the zany spirit of the 1960's 'Beach Party' movies but instead delivers a very flat movie. It's a 1990's MTV music video without the music. The Corey's and supporting cast (bar Robert Mandan and Geoffrey Lewis as the old movie star rivals), don't seem to know how to give the silly material the energy it needs to even make it passable. So the film feels like it's missing something from the beginning. After the 50 minute mark, the wacky antics that try to disguise who direction- less this film is, will wear you down.By the last 20 minutes (if you're still watching) even a cameo by Zelda Rubinstein won't be any relief. Dread Zeppelin play out the last few minutes (Before the credits even roll!!!), in a final pointless music video montage.Overall you would have to be an insane Corey's fanatic to sit through this. I don't give out 1/10 scores often but this film really did try my patients to breaking point.

So jaw-droppingly, eye-glazingly, mind-bogglingly abysmal that it changes the way you view all other movies thereafter. It's honestly that awful. It resets your gauge as you realize the films you thought were at the very bottom of the heap actually have a yawning chasm beneath then, at the very depths of which lies this alleged film.Now, whenever anyone says ANYTHING else is "the worst movie ever made", I tell them first place is locked up by "Last Resort" and the best (well, actually the worst, I mean) anyone else can ever hope for is second place.Please take my word for it. Do not subject yourself to this horrific idiocy.

THe first guy i saw reviewing this movie totally doesn't get the movie and what they are trying to do here. The movie is a kind of slapstick that I've never seen. its really hard to explain you basically just HAVE to see it. The movie is great, its funny and strange in a way few movies pull off. The The guys are awesome and the beginning is AMAZING. i love there clothes as well as all the sets. cant say enough. the story gets a little slow but all the gags and jokes are great. You do have to have a sense of humor to watch it though and no film snob is gonna like it either. I really wish these guys would make more movies a Last resort TWO would be great
