I don't know if this is Russ Par's first film, however I am impressed. I found this to be a pretty descent movie with a great cast. This movie takes you through, what I suspect, the many roads that comedians and aspiring actors/actresses can end up taking and experience filled with the good and mostly the bad. Just like the movie says, it is about the drama behind comedy. What I liked best was how the movie showed the characters' pasts and what brought them to doing comedy. I also liked the dose of harsh reality given to show that the path to success in Hollywood is not easy and it can be a tough grind that not everyone will endure to the end. I would recommend this film.

This movie had a good cast and DJ Russ Parr who's a black radio dj in Baltimore, Maryland did a good job for his first film. I hope to see more films from him. Anthony Anderson, Guy Torry, Tami Roman who used to be married to former NBA player Kenny Anderson and Darrin Henson did a good job. I'm pissed that Blockbuster Video doesn't have this movie so blacks can check it out. I'm willing to bet that a lot of blacks don't know about this film because Blockbuster doesn't have it and Hollywood Video probably doesn't have it either. I hope blacks do some research about this film and find it online so they can buy it and watch it. This film did a good job of showing how stand up black comedians go through good times and bad times trying to make it in the comedy business. Kevin Hart was funny too. He had me rolling when he was beating up and arguing with his doll who was a part of his comedy act LOL.

this film is about people who are comedians who are dealing with real life situations and trying to make it the best way they can. this film touches on alot of subjects and it will make you think. it was a pretty good film, it went in alot of directions. very interesting.

I previously owned this movie, but loaned it out to someone who never returned it. Couldn't find it anywhere else but AMAZON so of course I had to buy it again. Great movie.

Best comedy drama too date! It teaches entertainment ain't everythang! GET A EDUCATION FIRST! ...Peace.

A realistic and hard hitting movie about 4 aspiring young blacks trying to break into comedy/acting. The cast was great and did a good job.

One of the situations was something I had not expected: There is a black couple in the film and the brotha is trying to pursue his dream...but gets resistence from his wife...because she DID NOT want him to SUCCEED! The way the situation ends--does not make one feel good.

The writer/director, Russ Parr, said the characters and situations were based off actual past events.

Its worth a view!

IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS NOT THE MOVIE I WANTED. I THOUGHT THIS WAS SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. I DON'T LIKE IT. CAN I RETURN IT

I expected this to be a documentary for some reason, but it was a pretty serious drama. Once I realized that this was actually a "movie" I assumed it would be pretty bad since most movies of this type are. But it actually turned out to be quite well written and a little crazy at times. It held my interest for the entire time and I think it was about 2 hours long.

russ parr put together an very good movie and show a dark side of stand up comedy and what they went through to get there.everyone should pick the dvd up and watch this film.

I'd been hearing about Russ Parr's first film for a while and I couldn't wait to see it. The Last Stand explores the dark side of being a comic and the cast is first rate.
