About this movie

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. - ( Original Title - The Last Word )

A terrific, moving film! Shirley MacLaine is, as usual, incredible and funny. A layered, nuanced performance; she puts her whole self into it. Her character's powerhouse personality delivers the message of and carries the the movie perfectly. She is paired well with Amanda Seifreid. Amanda keeps her performance as understated as the character she portrays, allowing the lead and the kid to do their thing. The kid is awesome! Hope to see more from her!

Lot's over over acting! McLaine,, Bravo, I am serious this actress PULLS the entire movie I honestly wish to be so ineffable in " Character" . Some lol scenes more at Mclaine. Otherwise. Snore. Manipulate her life for an obituary? Come on Hollywood where's' the masterpiece?
