One Last Thing

Beautifully scripted story. Everyone goes through life hoping to find what these people found. Being vulnerable is hard but the rewards can be dreadful or beautiful. Take the risk and watch this movie where you get to see two amazing performances.

Really enjoyed this movie because of the great acting and theme. I recommend to others seeking a film with good content and quality characters.

Everything was going good until the plot twist ending.

Quiet Florida dentist Dylan Derringer (Wendell Pierce) spends his spare time perfecting his golf game. Jaime (Joanne Froggatt) is his assistant. He tracks down his daughter Lucy (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) in Brooklyn. She's a daughter that he didn't know he had for 25 years. This doesn't have the loudest of dramas. It's very quiet. At first, I'm expecting Hallmark channel but this is trying to throwback to a quieter melodrama. I appreciate Wendell Pierce. For the drama, I would flip the characters and have Lucy search for her father. She could be searching for organ donors and that would give additional colors to their relationship. It would make another layer to everything and elevate this rather slow melodrama.

From the start, I felt Dylan. His slow, lonely, methodical life was sad to see. Then, he was given the gift of relationships. Throughout the movie, we were reminded that we were created to touch and interact with others. In our social media-techno world, it is easy to forget the beauty of letters and dinners and boat rides and meaningful conversation while strolling. Wendell, Jurnee and Joanne are fine actors and their talents were on display. At times, the dialogue was not the best. However, it worth sticking around until the end.

Though it has some plot holes and unanswered questions. The film express the meaning of what family love should be, no matter race or creed heartwarming with a bit of a twist....ps. have your tissue ready, and enjoy the beautiful story and acting.

It is simple but complex at the same time. Wendell Pierce is great and brings sincerity to all his roles Jurnee Smollett-Bell brings a special touch to the movie as well It may have a few holes in it but its honest and for most part moving Its not a long film but that suits the story In the end some people wait to be kind just because they can! Have some tissues handy but for few different reasons

Why was it rated as mature? There were no gratuitous violence or sex scenes and hardly any profanity. I would have rated it PG at best.

The lead was so lovable and the settings were too! Maybe a little predictable, but thats not always a bad thing. Maybe its just me- but I really dont have a problem w/the gay lifestyle, but why does Hollywood SEEM to be pushing the gay/mix race relationships on us? I could have been fine if it had been a straight group- not sure how this plays out to youth? Same with product advertisements- seems like they have an agenda?

I'm a huge fan of Wendell Pierce for his acting and activism. Glad he got to play leading role for a change. Very good and slightly sappy story of a man who has been searching for his daughter for 2 decades. Sometimes we do get to choose our family!
