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 accomplishment, 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.

The incomparable Shirley MacLaine has The Last Word on a generic crowd-pleaser.

Shirley MacLaine’s well-deserved reputation as a salty, snappy grand dame—forged from later-career work like Terms of Endearment, Steel Magnolias, Postcards from the Edge, Bernie, etc.—unfortunately precedes her in this sloppy, saccharine drama costarring Amanda Seyfried.

The Last Word is pleasantly inoffensive enough, but well runs its course at 108 minutes.

Shirley MacLaine plays another lovable tart-tongued scold in the sort of prefab crowd-pleaser that's lucky to have her.

Shirley MacLaine plays an octogenarian control freak who enlists Amanda Seyfried's obit writer to reshape how she will be remembered in Mark Pellington's comedy with tears.

Fresh from her television appearance looking aghast at her brother Warren Beatty after the already legendary Best-Picture-flub at the Oscars, Shirley MacLaine is in a new theatrical release.

If nothing else, “The Last Word” demonstrates that Shirley MacLaine still has the comic chops and screen presence that have made her a Hollywood legend. Unfortunately, not even she can make chicken salad out of this utterly artificial and manipulative movie, one that conveys not a single genuine emotion over the course of its running time.

Ms. MacLaine, 82, holds the screen effortlessly. Too bad she has to share it.

Harriet's transformation isn't significant enough to justify her complete redemption in the eyes of those around her.

There’s a piece of great advice in “The Last Word,” courtesy of a character who is reluctant to speak ill of an acquaintance: “If you don’t have anything nice to say about someone, say nothing at all.”
