Los Angeles Times
An exceedingly mild affair, The Last Laugh relies mightily on Dreyfuss’ warm charm to keep the journey rolling. - 40
New Orleans Times-Picayune
That's not to say The Last Laugh is a flat-out terrible movie, necessarily. It's just a tame, unimaginative one -- a low-budget cinematic shrug that has nothing new to offer. - 30
The New York Times
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. - 20
The Hollywood Reporter
All highs eventually fade, and The Last Laugh quickly returns to its noxious mix of sweet and sour.
