The Last of Robin Hood is the true story of Beverly Aadland, a teen starlet who became the last girlfriend of legendary swashbuckler Errol Flynn. In 1957, Beverly was working at Warner Brothers studios with a fake birth certificate saying she was 18 -- she was in fact, only 15 -- when she encountered the former matinée idol. After a bumpy start, the two undertook a relationship that was ultimately embraced by Beverly's Hollywood mother Florence, who became a willing third wheel. The affair took them from L.A. to New York to Africa, then to Cuba where Flynn pitched in with the rebels to make a pro-Castro propaganda movie starring Beverly. It all came crashing to an end in Vancouver, however, when Flynn died in Beverly's arms, causing an avalanche of publicity; Florence finally achieved the attention she sought in the form of tabloid notoriety but the chaos drove Beverly to the edge of sanity. The Last of Robin Hood is a poignant yet darkly comic coming-of-age tale about the desire for fame and the price it exacts.

| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...the shoddy production [the directors] have constructed around their stars undermines a remarkable performance from Kline, who so slips into Flynn's skin one forgets one is watching an actor playing an actor. |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyInstead of a cautionary tale, they've looked at Flynn's life through rose-colored glasses. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongSince it's impossible to see what the attraction would be, the film's emotional logic fizzles. |
| AARP Movies for GrownupsBill NewcottA film about actors, played by some of the best actors the movies have to offer, The Last of Robin Hood still manages to connect to the rest of us with characters whose flaws, though writ large, are all too human. |
| Windy City TimesRichard KnightThe careful handling of the story has the unintended effect of sucking the life ( and practically all the juice ) out of what could have been a more-than-delicious piece of cinema trash. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonTerrific performances help mine the poignancy in a legendary tabloid story. |
| New York PostLou LumenickDashing, handsome and self-deprecating, Kevin Kline was born to play Errol Flynn. |
| OregonianMarc MohanThe period details are unconvincing, the cinematography is flat, and the performances are surprisingly one note considering the talent involved. |
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersNo doubt about it. Kevin Kline is meant to play Hollywood legend Errol Flynn. It's just too bad that "The Last of Robin Hood" didn't cover more ground. |
| Examiner.comChris SawinFinding the perfect balance between heartbreaking, engaging, and amusing, The Last of Robin Hood is an enchanting drama with dazzling performances from its three leads. |
