“The Last Laugh” (** out of four) was an unconvincing melodrama about a stand-up comedian (Steve Vanderzee) on the verge of both a breakout and an emotional breakdown who is about to perform in a theater when he discovers that a murderer is on the loose and he cannot convince anyone that this is not part of his act! Awkward attempt at mixing elements of both horror and comedy with backstage drama and elements of mental illness. Writer/director Jeremy Berg deserves points for trying something new but viewers eager for a more deft and powerful look at similar subject matter would best watch Martin Scorcese’s masterwork “The King Of Comedy” instead.
