Review of The Last Word (2008) by Michael F — 17 Jan 2010
A movie that attempts to portray messages. Loneliness and need for affection play right into what Bentley does for a living: Composing suicide notes for clients. At a funeral, he meets Charlotte (Winona Ryder), and so begins the story that unravels.
Ray Romano adds a bit of humor, but not much, to a storyline that is slow, weird, and morbid.
The final chapter of the movie, as far as Charlotte finding out his occupation, and parting ways was predictable, but the end of the movie with Ray Romano was not predictable, and added some meaning and closure to the film.
The symmetry to the movie "Office Space" is apparent in the ending, but was a well needed injection of humor into this somewhat dark film.
