San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle
The across-the-board strong performances indicate a sure directorial hand. Everyone is made vivid, down to the smallest roles. Read full review

ReelViewsJames Berardinelli
By playing it safe, One Last Thing offers tearful interludes but not a lot more. Read full review

Village VoiceLuke Y. Thompson
Angarano and Mabrey bring something special to the proceedings, and they make it work. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyChuck Wilson
Formulaic but refreshingly low-key weepie. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterSheri Linden
Neither as breezy nor as edgy as it pretends to be. Read full review

VarietyRobert Koehler
Plays closer to an after-school special (with HBO-standard dialogue) than a satisfying feature film. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen Holden
Shrewdly divided against itself. What begins as a small, cleareyed drama about a teenager with terminal cancer morphs into a gauzy tear-jerker. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean Axmaker
For all of its admirable intentions, the awkward melding of movie-of-the-week tragedy, non-denominational salvation drama and teen sex comedy mistakes banality for conviction. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJ.R. Jones
At its best this 2005 feature wickedly satirizes the politics of pity--how healthy people buy off the dying with gifts and imminent death becomes a kind of stardom. But the sap begins to flow. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesCarina Chocano
Too dark to be very funny, too mushy to be pitch black. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley Jones
Two Eighties genre staples – Disease-of-the-Week and Poppin' the Cherry – meet, shake hands, and mostly play nice in this sweet, if overly earnest feature. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
The real problem with One Last Thing… isn't that it's a teen sex comedy or a sappy melodrama, it's that it can't make up its mind. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Phillips
I found it bizarre and limp and all over the place and not in a good, messy, lifelike way. Read full review

Boston GlobeJanice Page
Dylan and Nikki are an awkward match at best, and their combined story is about as creative/convincing as a Hallmark card. Read full review

The mawkishness is ultimately too formidable. Read full review

New York PostV.A. Musetto
A movie so bad it's not even worth watching on DVD. Read full review
