The Last Place on Earth is a 2002 American drama film directed by James Slocum, starring Tisha Campbell and Dana Ashbrook.
TV Guide called the film "satisfyingly sentimental" and wrote that the cast "keeps the weepy sentimentality in check."[1] Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the Campbell and Ashbrook are "entirely winning in a picture wise enough to acknowledge that true love never runs smoothly."[2] Dan Lybarger of The Kansas City Star called the film a "noble attempt" and praised the cinematography, writing that "If the people strolling through the landscape were half as interesting, this would have made a great movie."[3]
Robert K. Elder of the Chicago Tribune wrote that the film has "too much going on, with too little focus."[4] Robert Koehler of Variety criticised the "contrived" and "confused" third act, the use of cliches, the "weak" supporting performances and the lack of chemistry between Campbell and Ashbrook.[5] The Sarasota Herald-Tribune gave the film a rating of "D+" and called the film a "false and utterly forced love story that either tries way too hard or way too little."[6]
