It's the feeling of Grodin as the muttering, dutiful cement in this family unit that holds the movie together -- for as long as it can be said to be held. [09 May 1986, p.14] - 50
Miami Herald
The sex parts are dumb -- they could have been lifted from a 1960s beach comedy -- but when Last Resort acts as a sendup of drinks (and life) by the colored bead at Club Med, it has its amusements. [04 Jun 1986, p.D4] - 38
Chicago Tribune
After experiencing about a half-hour of Grodin's yelling, you sit in your seat imagining how much funnier Last Resort could have been if it had been written by, directed by or starred Woody Allen, Albert Brooks or Steve Martin. The answer is: a whole lot funnier. [09 May 1986, p.43] - 25
Chicago Sun-Times
There are countless comic possibilities in Last Resort, most of them unrealized. The movie seems to have depended on a concept rather than a screenplay. Characters are set up, and never pay off. - 25
TV Guide Magazine
On paper it looks like a bad idea for a comedy, but on film it looks even worse. - 20
The New York Times
It's a kind of twisted Alice in Wonderland - without Alice, without imagination and most certainly without wonder.
