Reviews

Despite an attractive young cast and sunny Chicago setting, 'The Last Summer' fails to offer a fresh take on the coming-of-age genre, resulting in a mediocre viewing experience. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a disappointing 29% rating, with critics expressing mixed feelings about the film's predictable plot and lack of depth in character development. While some reviewers commend the movie for its feel-good moments and charming performances, others criticize its reliance on clichés and formulaic storytelling. IMDb users have rated it 5.5/10, highlighting the film's shortcomings in delivering a compelling narrative that resonates beyond its picturesque visuals. Overall, 'The Last Summer' falls short of creating a memorable impact and feels like a forgettable addition to the teen romance genre.
