Synopsis
"The Last Godfather" is a 2010 South Korean comedy directed by and starring Shim Hyung-rae. The film follows the story of a clumsy and inexperienced young man named Don Carleone Jr., who unexpectedly inherits the leadership of a powerful mafia family. Despite his lack of gangster skills and a bumbling demeanor, Don Carleone Jr. attempts to uphold his family's legacy while navigating a chaotic world of criminals, hitmen, and family drama. Blending slapstick humor with quirky characters, the movie offers a lighthearted parody of classic mafia tropes, infused with Shim's distinctive comedic style and visual gags.

Reviews
Critically, "The Last Godfather" received largely negative reviews upon release. On IMDb, it holds a low rating of 3.5/10, reflecting widespread audience dissatisfaction. Many critics noted that the film's humor often fell flat, with some describing it as overly simplistic and relying heavily on slapstick comedy that failed to engage viewers beyond surface-level laughs. According to reviews aggregated from various sites, the storyline lacks coherence and the pacing feels uneven, which diminishes the impact of comedic setups. However, a few commentators appreciated Shim Hyung-rae's dedication to physical comedy and his intent to bring a uniquely eccentric flavor to the gangster comedy genre. The visual effects and set pieces were noted as occasionally creative, though they did not compensate for weak character development and predictable plotlines. On Rotten Tomatoes, professional critic ratings were scarce, but audience scores similarly indicated general disappointment. Metacritic also reflects a low score, emphasizing that the film did not resonate well with mainstream critics. Overall, "The Last Godfather" is seen as a niche comedic venture that might entertain some fans of slapstick or Shim's previous works but largely missed the mark with broader audiences and critics alike.
