Please don't spend money on this.
best movie i've ever seen.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
as a huge "scrubs" fan and specially Zach braff that i found so hilarious , i bought this on DVD wish was classified in humor-drama-romance and though i would have a great time watching a romantic comedy with sad moments like "forget Sarah Marshall" or things like this... but it's only melodrama as its best (means worth for me), 5 friends, 5 situations & in near two weeks everything happens to everyone (cheating, separation, doubt, fathers death....) the most part of the movie, we see people screaming on each others pf so boring, no real story. i was very very disappointed by this and to finish, the movie is ending and we absolutely don't know what happens to the main characters (which could be great in awesome movies but here....) so i will try to forget this quickly.....
"I've been thinking about my life lately, and everything feels pretty planned out. There's no more surprises" – this is the line of Zach Braff's character (Michael) in the movie The Last Kiss. And this is the line that almost took the love of his life, although it is the same line that made him realized that, yes - it is the love of his life.The Last Kiss is a movie about Love – not romance. It is a movie about doing the right thing – not the hot thing. It is a movie about Kindness being the source of True Love – not passion or any commercialized cute adjectives.The Last Kiss is a honest take on the real perils of life – in the same manner that it deals with surviving these perils and still achieving both true love and true life.In the movie, Zach Braff plays the character of Michael – a twenty nine year old Architect who had a steady three years relationship with Jenna, who is three months pregnant and whom he's planning to marry. Everything seems smooth until Michael met Kim on his friends wedding. Kim is a sexy, free-spirited college chic (played by Rachel Bilson) who's hard to refuse if you're on Michael's pants, err, shoes.Both Michael and Jenna are surrounded with people dealing with difficulty of having a relationship be it a new or a thirty year old marriage. Michael's friend and co-worker Chris is full and fed up on his neurotic wife, Izzy who can't let go of his childhood sweetheart, and the handsome stud Kenny who is afraid of commitment. Jenna's parents on the other hand are almost on the brink of separation – thanks to his father's Kindness (not understanding – yes, this movie made me realized that it is not enough to understand the mistakes of the people around you, but to be kind enough to embrace these people, and accept and let go of the mistake – the act that they committed).These situations added pressure on their relationship. As if it is no longer possible to live a life that is shaped by love, trust and commitment. Michael made the mistake. He chose to make that mistake. He also chooses to correct that mistake. The same mistake that Jenna's mother committed three years ago. Their lives did not end after committing these mistakes. It only started there.In the end, Michael and Jenna started – again. This time they know better. They Love better. They will eventually live better.MY TAKE The movie's tagline is about making choices, and the good thing on this movie is that it provided honest inputs for the audience to ponder the better side of choices. The movie also put Love on its rightful place. Jenna's father, played by Tom Wilkinson is heart-warming. Some of my favorite lines from him are:Stop talking about love. Every asshole in the world says he loves somebody. It means nothing. It still doesn't mean anything. What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you say you love, that's what matters. It's the only thing that counts. (If you want something) Do whatever it takes. You can't fail if you don't give up. People know the truth. They may not like it or want to know it, but they always know. Lie and you'll lose her.Aside from the consistency of the story and the cast's brilliance – the soundtrack complimented every scene which makes the movie more delightful to watch.
The Last Kiss is a film of complex relationships. It's about 5 relationships though the main focus is that of Michael (Zach Braff,)a confused man not knowing what he wants out of life and his pregnant girlfriend Jenna (Jacinda Barrett,) a woman who believes that her relationship is perfect.All five relationships are tested to see how strong they are. Some will survive, some will fall, some won't even get off the ground.Though not original, this film succeeds because of the great writing an fine performances. It was written by Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby.) The plot is rich in story and rich in characters. The dialogue never tries to be over dramatic. It's not a typical "chick flick" as the film deals with a lot of genuine issues that both men and women face.Zach Braff and Jacinda Barrett are simply terrific in this film but the supporting cast is where there film really shows strength. Casey Affleck (Brother of Ben Affleck) and Marley Shelton are terrific as a married couple with child, struggling to make their marriage work. Rachel Bilson (OC) plays Kim, a young college student who is the temptation for Michael. And Tom Wilkinson and Blythe Danner (Meet The Parents) play Jenna's parents who have been married for 30 + years yet they too are having their problems.The Last Kiss was directed by Tony Goldwyn (Most notably Carl from Ghost.) He has come a long way since his acting debut in Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. Hopfully he continues to direct more films because he is quite good at it.This is a film I definitely recommend. It's a great coming of age story, especially for those who have or will be turning 30 sometime soon and are in some kind of relationship.
I actually liked this movie. It made me think about myself, As i believe every man and woman who is grown up enough could easily relate to this story line. Everyone will go through this phase of his/her life. Everyone suits perfectly in their characters. i loved the acting of Jacinda Barrett. Kind of felt that she over reacted a bit in the movie but that is what movie is all about other wise it wouldn't have lasted more than 30 minutes. It circulates around Love, faith, betray..etc in a relationship but in a well organized way. Makers divided all this contents in a very systematic way amongst all friends in the movie. I liked how the movie happily ended as it should have been. This movie gives a message of faith and Love to the people and shows the importance of trust in a relationship. Well this movie has a mature storyline and every grown up teenager should go see it if they want to have a happy future. i would give it 6 out of 10.
