review by
Mike Haberfelner

Jules (Morgan Floyd) and Jason (Jae McCain) meet and fall in love almost immediately, and serious relationship grows out of this soon, including Jules having Jason meet her rather unforgiving father (Eric Adair) and the like - but when he asks for her hand in marriage, she declines as she has just met Roger (Mike Donis), of all people her boss, and has fallen in love with him - she didn't want it and has certainly not set out to do so, but sometimes, things happen ...

In the meantime, Jason's roommate Micah (Derek Babb) has a hot relationship with Nicole (Terissa Kelton) - which is basically based on all different kinds of sex (including threesomes and the like), which he finds great for the longest time, but eventually he finds it lacking, emotionally.

At the same time, Jules' sister Lauren (Shelby Cullinan) is the girlfriend of musician Bug (Sean Koetting) - but only until she finds out that her decision to ignore his penchant for groupies was only hurting herself. When Micah and Lauren first meet, one can already feel there's love in the air.

Back to Jules and Jason: Jules still cares for Jason but is not happy in love with Roger - problem is, Jason not only still cares for her, but wants to fight to get her back ... but he hasn't got a clue how to do that, so apart from a few half-hearted attempts at romantic gestures and a few too many alcoholic excesses that really put her off, there's really nothing much he has to go for himself ... and then he learns that they're going to marry - so will he be big enough to finally walk away from the story or try to have his revenge with everything he's got to destroy everything forever ...

 

Now before I go deeper into this movie, I have to state, I don't like romcoms, at least not those produced in this day and age (I love films like Ninotchka or Bringing Up Baby, mind you, but they seem to come from another universe rather than being forefathers of today's romantic comedies), and I think much of this has to do with the fact that they're produced specifically for a target audience I do not belong to - with bigger budget movies that's not even so much an assumption but a proven fact, I'll just never be part of that "female audience" segent ;)

Having said that, The Last Beautiful Girl goes out of its way to include viewers like me into their peer group, via trying to stay away from sappiness, by cracking the occasional crude and blunt joke to break up the mood, by steering clear of too many "looking for Mr. Right"-clichés ... and even by the occasional appearance of a movie blogger on-screen that explains away the genre mainstays to come (even if they don't always come). And add to that a directorial effort that clearly favours indie over rom-com style, and a pretty competent ensemble cast, and you've got yourself a cool piece of genre cinema - especially if you don't like the genre!
