The best part of this film was the opening credits (or "titles") done in a splendid, imaginative way with the names appearing on objects associated with a movie theatre. I also liked Toni Collette's outrageous performance of a diva dying to be cast in a career-saving role. There is also a great scene in which it appears as though literally everyone in L.A. has a written a screenplay that they are dying to see produced.
But, alas, the rest of the film was not very funny. The over-the-top approach to every moment became predictable, and the timing of the lines could have been crisper, especially in the scenes between Alec Baldwin and Matthew Broderick.
There was potentially a good film idea here. But just like the "Arizona" film that was the centerpiece of the story, the screenplay for "The Last Shot" seemed written by amateurs.
