Day 82- Movie 78. The Last Run (2004)

Well, this is why I almost never watch direct-to-DVD movies. They are typically awful. If I could take a lesson away from this pitiful movie is that I shouldn't watch movies I know nothing about. I do enough research and reading about movies that I tend to know something about most movies. If I don't, I'll do a little research. I went into this film knowing nothing about it, except that it starred Fred Savage and Amy Adams. I thought to myself, hey, it can't be all that bad. It was worse.

I understand what they were trying to do here. The idea was to take a squeaky clean television actor- Fred Savage- and put him in the most raunchy, sex-fueled film imaginable. The idea was for him to play against type. None of this matters because the whole thing is so awful. The story is about a man (Fred Savage) dating a beautiful girl who he loves. She breaks up with him, and he goes into an awful spiral, becoming a sex addict in the process. There's much more to the story, but it's all so stupid and pointless.

The biggest question I have is why Amy Adams signed on to this film. I know this was earlier in career- before she hit it big- but her role is fairly pointless, and the movie is just so terrible. I don't know why she's in this film.

There's so many reasons why I hated this movie. There's not a single likable character in the entire film. The movie features gratuitous sex and vulgar dialogue for no reason other than to be controversial. The script was a travesty and the acting was awful. There's just nothing to like about this movie at all. The ending is atrocious as well.

In fact, I'm mad enough I wasted so much of my life on this movie. I'm done writing and thinking about it. 1.5/10 for this terrible movie.

My advice to you is to not watch this movie for any reason. It's a worthless pile of garbage.
