Last Resort is not a bad movie in any traditional way. It's incompetent to the degree I don't understand--nor can I imagine--how Charles Grodin ended up starring in it. Julie Corman--Roger's wife--produced the film and, maybe, her attention to detail is why it looks like the film shot in Southern California for most of its scenes (it's set on a tropical island). The water shots, however, appear to have been shot a public beach somewhere. While I'm far from an expert on judging film stock from bad DVD transfers... it looks like Last Resort shot on video (maybe better than half-inch, maybe not) and then got transferred over to film. It looks identical to an episode of “WKRP”--no knocks to the mighty 'KRP, but it is a famous shot-on-video example. It's Charles Grodin... maybe he made some bad investments or needed a new house, but I can't imagine they were paying much....
And then the rest of the cast is interesting both in placing the movie's “artistic” movement. It's |
