The Last Laugh tries its best to tell a sweet tale about growing old with dignity and never giving up on your true self. The film is a mild recommendation for the right audience.

| Mar 20, 2019

The film has too many weak points to recommend immediately adding to your queue, but off the strength of Dreyfuss' performance, it's worth checking out.

| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Feb 23, 2019

[With] comedy talent like Chase (his most understated and likable in years) and Dreyfuss...working every inch of the frame, the result is more sweet sentiment and hearty guffaws than the material often deserves.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 6, 2019

Senior-citizen buddy comedy has salty language, sex.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 23, 2019

There's a certain level of breeziness that's worth a sit, especially for anyone who's lost their faith in Chase and Dreyfuss in recent years.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 16, 2019

The picture's single saving grace is Chase's co-star Dreyfuss, who deploys all of his considerable charisma. He shines, but not brightly enough to bring this moribund project to life.

| Jan 16, 2019

With Chase and Dreyfuss's classic talents, this could have been quite the romp. Instead we get poor jokes delivered by two masters. It's too less of a good thing.

| Jan 15, 2019

Not only is the material bad, but it feels like Chase and Dreyfuss know it, as they fail to jazz up the story or their characters at all.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 15, 2019

Chevy Chase and Richard Dreyfuss know the way to entertain us! Watching these two is lots of fun -- with a tear or two when it's done.

| Jan 14, 2019

Fundamentally generic old codger froth, yet elevated by Richard Dreyfuss' endearing performance.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 12, 2019

Would that there was a first laugh.

| Jan 12, 2019

It's a classic "watch while folding laundry" movie, with a few laughs and an earnest performance from Dreyfuss.

| Jan 11, 2019

Despite the film's flaws, you can't help rooting for Dreyfuss and Chase.

| Jan 11, 2019

A good-hearted but largely uninspired, by-the-numbers bit of Netflix filler.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 11, 2019

Even if it doesn't reinvent the wheel, The Last Laugh works because Chase and Dreyfuss give their all to their roles. In fact, Chevy gives one of the best performances of his career.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 11, 2019
