The Last Fling

It's nice to see a movie that isn't full of sex and violence for a change. This well-used plot of "girl is about to marry wrong guy - hero steps in, they fall in love, and she marries him instead" is all too familiar, but Connie Sellecca is attractive and plays her part well. It's nice to see John Ritter in something other than "Three's Company" reruns (which I don't watch!). Watch this one just for the fun of it.

I loved that movie. Seeing John Ritter again after Three's Company, and the lovely Connie Selecca ! She's so beautiful ! Although it was a typical american movie, ( the beautiful women falling in love with the right guy and dumping the wrong guy !), It was predictable. But it was nonetheless a very good movie. And seeing John Ritter doing his Jack Tripper moves one more time! ( When he tripped in the apartment with his bowl of popcorn when the telephone rang, and when he got down the palm-tree and hurting himself, it was hilarious !) I even taped the movie when it aired on television, just for the pleasure of seeing John Ritter one more time. And Connie Selecca too of course !

Nostalgic 80s LA romantic comedy with John Ritter John Bennett Perry, Connie Sellecca, Scott Bakula, and Shannon Tweed.

John Bennett Perry is Matthew Perry's dad!

John Ritter looks very handsome and is extremely athletic. He meets Connie Sellacca and falls in love at first sight. He is a Michigan alumni.

Connie Sellecca has been dating the same guy for years and has lost touch of what she really wants. She has become a puppet.

Her fiancé, John Bennett Perry, is taking her for granted.

John Ritter is a playboy but after he meets Connie Sellecca, he realizes he wants much more. And he is determined to not let her go.

He runs around all over Los Angeles to find her again and wants to profess his love and stop the wedding.

Movie is about slowing down and being with the right person and not just with a good looking man.

Rest in peace John Ritter and Matthew Perry. Very nostalgic 80s Los Angeles scenery in Echo Park, downtown LA, LA Zoo, and Los Feliz. Also beautiful mountains of Acapulco, Mexico.

Movie highlights comedic and athletic talents of John Ritter.

Divorce lawyer and ladies man Phillip Reed (John Ritter) becomes sick of skirt chasing and is ready to settle down and find the right woman. Meanwhile, Gloria Franklin (Connie Selleca) is in a relationship with her fiancee Jason Elliott (John Bennett Perry) who has been stepping out. She meets Phillip and right away he feels she is the right one, but she fights it as she is going to be getting married in one week.

Has enough laugh out loud moments and enough romance to make the cut. Both leads are good and this TV movie doesn't seem to drag at all. Worth a watch in the least if you enjoy romantic comedies. Also starring Scott Bakula and Shannon Tweed.

This film is predicable and very dated. It looks like a 1980's TV episode. But it is also at times very funny. This film has several great moments of laugh-out-loud slapstick humor. John Ritter is terrific, as is Paul Sand in a small supporting role.
