In The Last Word, Shirley MacLaine is Harriet Lauler, a once successful businesswoman in tight control of every aspect of her life. As she reflects upon her accomplishments, she's suddenly inspired to engage a young local writer, Anne Sherman (Amanda Seyfried), to pen her life's story. When the initial result doesn’t meet Harriet's high expectations, she sets out to reshape the way she is remembered, with Anne dragged along as an unwilling accomplice. As the journey unfolds, the two women develop a unique bond which alters not only Harriet’s legacy, but also Anne's future.
A retired businesswoman – who tries to control everything around her – decides to write her own obituary. A young journalist takes up the task of finding out the truth, and the result is a life-altering friendship.

Shirley never fails, that is a treat!!!!!First of all ,i grew uo old school where we had 4 channels and it was an awesome sunday to sit and watch a movie each week. I don't think shirley has ever performed where it did not touch me in some manner, no matter the genre. Amanda Seyfried was great as well in her role. Hollywood has lost it's way over the years and movies are no longer what they were, so the treat is always nice when you have a movie with an eccentric lady who has dazzled the hearts of many. Amanda had the best message yet in this one about how a person can really be remembered for what they are and how it does not take long to feel that mark on our hearts. Amanda has been one of my favorites as she is not afraid to go out there and work with many actors and actresses who have been around for years. I admire that and i know it is a true blessing for her as well,it shows!!! What movies or actors of today will really be able to mark a spot when you talk about their work 30-40 years later is nill to none in my book. I have a hard time trying to utter the same sex gore ,genre,no talent f bomb movies of today,they have lost their way. Hollywood needs to get there heads out of there butts and get humble and if anything learn off of this movie, pride has always been to ripe and growth is an understatement..Score: 5/5
Critics Are Just WrongI will keept this simple. The Critics just have got this one wrong. This movie was so enjoyable, funny and touching. Maclaine was perfect for this role. Well worth watching more than once..Score: 5/5
The Life Changer.This movie simply put is unbelievable. You know those movies where you watch the trailer and it kind of stands out to you, and you think hm looks okay I'll see it when it gets to the cheap theater and forget all about it? That was this movie to a T for me. I never thought that a movie that I couldn't even remember the name of (until I stumbled upon it in redbox) would be so life shaking. I am no longer afraid to live the life I was meant to live, this movie is the push I needed to final live to my full potential! Thank you for making this movie into a reality, you are a blessing and a half!.Score: 5/5

The critics were rightNonsensical dialogue, poorly written script, Shirley MacLaine deserves better..Score: 1/5
Predictable until you realize it'sArt imitating the amazing life of Shirley MacLaine. The critics just couldn't get past the predictable plot to witness the rich character development of this movie. It's as if they couldn't appreciate nor enjoy the fantastic soundtrack that left viewers grooving for more. Pity these critics because they couldn't get past the "predictable" in order to watch a legend show us once again, her signature craft that stands apart from most of the men of her era and [almost] all actors of this era! Seriously, people. It's Shirley (F-BOMB) MacLaine. Watch this movie...now. Oh and by the way, most movies are predictable. Duh. But most movies don't have great soundtracks, most movies lack signature craft and not all movies leave viewers with s good message. So skip the critics reviews and enjoy the watch..Score: 5/5

The Last WordThis not a movie for vapid entertainment. It is a testimonial of a life lived on one's own terms. And about the price paid for freedom to be who you are. It is full of irony, witticisms and great performances. It may not be critically acclaimed - but who needs critics?.Score: 5/5
They kept it funnyIt was tongue and cheek with trite sprinkled in, but it was funny and she totally pulled it off. I would watch it again!.Score: 4/5
