A teenage boy makes the sort of wish you'd expect a teenage boy to make, and he might just get to live it out in this dark
comedy.
Dylan Jamieson (
Michael Angarano) is a 16-year-old boy living in Pennsylvania who is being raised by his mother,
Karen (
Cynthia Nixon), on her own after the death of his father (played by
Ethan Hawke).
Karen and
Dylan have received the news that the boy has contracted a rare form of cancer and isn't likely to live to see seventeen.
Dylan has taken the news surprisingly well, facing his treatment with pointed good humor and spending much of his free time with his best buddies
Slap (
Gideon Glick) and
Ricky (
Matt Bush). Aware that the end is on the horizon,
Karen contacts United Wish Givers, a group that arranges for ailing youngsters to enjoy a final adventure before they pass, and they set up a fishing trip for
Dylan with a professional football star. However,
Dylan comes up with a better idea with the help of
Slap and
Ricky, and on television, tells the group's representatives that what he really wants is a weekend-long date with
Nikki Slater (
Sunny Mabrey), a supermodel and world-class sex symbol. While the United Wish Givers are appalled and
Karen isn't sure this is a good idea,
Arlene (
Gina Gershon),
Nikki's agent, sees possibilities in this news --
Nikki has been on a bender of bad publicity recently, and granting a kid's last wish might be just the thing to help folks forget that she's been pushing rival models off runways.
One Last Thing... was directed by
Alex Steyermark, who worked with
Gina Gershon on his previous film,
Prey for Rock & Roll.
