Burt Reynolds does an amazing job in ‘The Last Movie Star’
I am not a huge Burt Reynolds fan. I have seen some of his films, but not many. He was great in the new The Longest Yard, and I loved him on My Name is Earl. I knew little about The Last Movie Star going in. Yet In decided to give it a chance. It was not what I thought it would be. I was able to get a review copy and this is my thoughts on it.
You can read the plot for The Last Movie Star here:
Vic Edwards (Burt Reynolds) was the biggest star in Hollywood, a college football legend turned stunt double turned leading man. Now in his eighties, he’s convinced by an old friend (Chevy Chase) to accept an invitation to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award at a two-bit film festival in Nashville. The trip launches him on both a hilarious fish-out-of-water adventure and an unexpectedly poignant journey into his past.
The Last Movie Star is an okay film. It starts very slow, and doesn’t always make sense where things are going. The first two acts are flawed, but this movie makes up for it with a pretty good third act and finale. I can’t say this is his best film, but he does give a great dramatic performance throughout. I am not sure if this will be a film for everyone, but I can see some fans enjoying it. To learn more about The Last Movie Star click on this website.
