The Last Man (2002)

He's obnoxious, self-centered, irritating, smug and rude... and he's our main character! Oh boy! Post-apocalyptic no-budget-and-no-brains-either comedy coasts on so-dorky-it's-kinda-endearing premise and the occasional funny line for about half an hour, until A) the second man shows up and B) our main character (a smart but unsocialized, overweight, balding fella) turns into a jealous nutball. At this point, with a total of zero sympathetic characters now involved, the film becomes unwatchable. I saw this only because the premise (mysterious plague kills everyone save for smart but unsocialized, overweight, balding fella and hot but neurotic blonde played by Jeri Ryan) offered major possibility for Jeri-Ryan-related nudity; imagine my chagrin when, in addition to being grating and largely unfunny, the film gives her plenty of scenes out of dress but offers no actual naughty bits. Not even a damn chlorophyll gumball, I tell ya....
