The Last Man (2002 film)

The Last Man is a 2002 American science fiction romantic comedy movie written and directed by Harry Ralston, starring David Arnott, Jeri Ryan and Dan Montgomery.

When he is not running around in his underwear, reveling in his newly found freedom from body-shaming, he is in abandoned stores downtown trying stuff out.

After some time he decides to let Fate take charge, and he waits for Raphael to mess up, hopefully, sending Sarah running back to him.

Raphael returns to the camp after finding one of the many notes Sarah had tied to balloons she had released that read, "Come back."

The Last Man was released for limited engagements to theaters in New York City and Los Angeles on February 13, 2002 and March 8, 2002, respectively.

Scott, a critic with The New York Times wrote: "It feels more like a thought experiment than a fully developed story.

"[2] Maitland McDonagh, a movie reviewer for TV Guide wrote: "Ralston gets solid performances out of his cast, and the film has a surprisingly polished look.

"[9] Ed Park, a critic at The Village Voice wrote: "If The Last Man were the last movie left on earth, there would be a toss-up between presiding over the end of cinema as we know it and another night of delightful hand shadows.

"[3] In its review for The Hollywood Reporter, film critic Frank Scheck wrote: "What might have emerged as hilarious lunacy in the hands of Woody Allen or Mel Brooks (at least during their '70s heyday) comes across as lame and sophomoric in this debut indie feature."
