The Last Resort is a light-hearted comedy-romance helmed by Donald Petrie. It’s set against the vibrant backdrop of the Philippines, which really adds a rich, sun-soaked atmosphere to the film. The pacing flows nicely, with a mix of charming interactions and scenic montages that capture both the beauty of the locale and the warmth of the local culture. The chemistry between the lead, a hotel executive, and Ben, the expatriate charter pilot, feels genuine and provides some engaging tension. Practical effects are minimal, but the landscape does much of the heavy lifting. It explores themes of self-discovery and the allure of the unknown, making it a refreshing watch, especially if you enjoy light romances that don’t take themselves too seriously.
