Movie Review: "One Last Shot" 1998 CANADA

This is a movie review for "One Last Shot", a short movie made by the "Trailer Park Boys" before they made TPB. This was released in 1998 at the Atlantic Film Festival in Canada, then re-released in 2017. I watched this in November of 2019.

John Dunsworth ... Mr. Layhie




Plot

Rob has decided to leave town but he can't do so without talking to his best friend Gary (aka "GW"). Gary doesn't want to lose his job but he wants to say goodbye to his friend. What can this night turn up?




Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.

4/5 - Cute short video from the Trailer Park Boys before they came out with the series. I don't like how they used the name "Mr. Lahey" for GW's boss and for the park supervisor, with the same actor. I am okay with the fact that both Rob and JP both had different characters for the TPB series, though this short was not in the same world that the series is in. It can be confusing, but that's how it goes.

If you like Trailer Park Boys, feel free to watch this but don't get confused with the TPB world and this movie. (Bonus for the fact that it is only 30 minutes long!)



So that's my movie review. Thanks for reading! More reviews to come eventually.
