On the [review aggregator](/source/Review_aggregator) website [Rotten Tomatoes](/source/Rotten_Tomatoes), 88% of 32 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.9/10. The website's consensus reads: "Getting a lot of mileage out of Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong's enduring rapport, their *Last Movie* provides both a comprehensive retrospective and a touching last hangout with this legendary comedy duo."[5]

[Metacritic](/source/Metacritic), which uses a [weighted average](/source/Weighted_arithmetic_mean), assigned the film a score of 73 out of 100, based on nine critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[6]

[Frank Scheck](/source/Frank_Scheck) of *[The Hollywood Reporter](/source/The_Hollywood_Reporter)* wrote, "David Bushell's directorial debut receiving its world premiere at SXSW provides a fairly definitive portrait of the legendary comic duo who became a cultural sensation starting in the early 1970s thanks to their sold-out live performances, top-selling comedy albums, and hit movies. There's much fun to be derived from their reunion for this film chronicling their decades-long, on-and-off association, not to mention seeing them driving through the desert and riffing together in their distinctive gonzo way."[7]

Vikram Murthi of *[IndieWire](/source/IndieWire)* gave the film a B−, writing, "Any serious comedy fan will probably get something from *Last Movie* even as it overstays its welcome. It's refreshing that the film never tries to force Cheech and Chong's comedy to transcend its historical period."[8]
