Don't even know where to begin with this one. The rotten acting, plot, scenes, camera work? How much was the budget for this twot

An RT (0/76) (as I write this) is the largest difference I've ever seen for a movie I've reviewed, probably. There are currently only 7 critic reviews and it's definitely not that bad. That being said, even though Last Call has some hometown charm and a decent plot to it, there's too much unnecessary, low-brow humor that brings it below my (60) recommends threshold. I added this to the watch-list because it sounded interesting enough and I always liked Jeremy Piven — and couldn't remember the last movie I saw with him in it. As the "prodigal son" Mick, Piven returns to his hometown Philly suburb of "Darby Heights". I was disappointed to discover that the vast majority of filming took place in Bayonne, NJ instead of an actual Delaware county town, but whatever. The cast's Philly trash crew (Zach McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, Jason James Richter, et al.) did a good enough job of portraying… well… Philly trash — perhaps I'm acerbic because at the end of the movie, they invade the very area of NJ where I now live. In short, Mick, a successful real-estate developer, returns from the faraway land of Rittenhouse Square (Philly) for his mother's funeral and concocts the idea of bringing a casino to the town. To be honest, the legal issue and the Mafioso (Gary Pastore) part of the movie is unclear and stupid. What you're here for is the comedy, which actually has some bright moments. When Mick is going door-to-door, when his father (Jack McGee) says, "Every day I drink a glass of water from the Delaware!", the "River Beach" in Pleasantville, NJ, and some of the friends jabbing at each other are pretty good. Then again, some scenes are, at best, tropey, and at worst, downright disgusting. Of course, Bruce Dern is fantastic and I was actually shocked to see him sitting at the bar in his first scene. It makes you want to return to your hometown bar for a drink, but then again, it also makes you want to avoid it altogether. I don't think you need to see this one.

I mean... I don't mean to be rude or anything. But there are so many great films to upload here in 4k like Psycho, E.T., The Thing, Dirty Dancing, Tremors, Super 8, Requiem for a Dream and many others. So why something like Last Call has priority? You're doing a great job with the rest of the uploads, that's why I can't get my head around this.
