Cast

Critical reception for Last Day of Summer was generally negative, with the film holding a 17% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on six reviews. The New York Times reviewer considered that it "had a chance to be a decent movie, but Vlad Yudin, who directed and wrote it, couldn't resist a potty joke. A long, grating potty joke." A reviewer for The Village Voice felt that the film "promises what it has no intention of delivering".
