The Last Kiss (2006)

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

this is a nice film about the troubles of relationships guys have against women. this isn't your typical romantic comedy i don't think, because there are some powerful scenes including Zach Braff that really capture what a guy is really feeling/going through. the plot and acting were fair and everything else was pretty solid...i don't feel there is nothing you can be disappointed about since all the roles including the guys and women were pretty realistic and carried out well. This film was interestingly crafted, since all the characters i feel were given each problem that guys typically have, which was great. Overall if you are interested in what relationships are all about and want to find a cute movie between a guy and girl then this is pretty much it except it can be a little more mature since it involves marriage and babies. I recommend "Adventureland" for teenage romantic insight. A must see if your going through a relationship and want to know what its going to be like...for example, I was "Izzy" at one point..and now i'm a "Kenny" probably going to be a "Micheal" and in the end going to be a "Chris"

Hollywood, for lack of originality, sometimes resorts to remake European film hits. Alas, those efforts can be a hit or a miss, as it never can outdo something that was perfect before. While credit must go to Tony Goldwyn and the adapter of the original material, Paul Haggis, for the way they make it palatable for American audiences, some of the enjoyment is lacking in the finished product. Part of the blame is that some of the characters in this version are people one wouldn't like to meet in the first place.The story follows the Italian version of 2001 pretty much. This tale centers around four friends that, for all practical purposes, have refused to grow to accept their new realities. That seems to be what happened to Chris and his disenchanted wife. They find themselves in no-win situation with a child they probably weren't counting on. Whatever they thought about their marriage, is not working out.Michael who is fully aware what Chris is going through, has a good relationship with Jenna, his girlfriend, with whom he is living. To complicate things, Michael meets Kim at a wedding. She clearly knows about him, so he feels flattered by the attention this attractive woman, although younger, shows him. Little prepares him when Jenna tells him she's pregnant, something that he didn't expect. While her parents are elated, Michael begins an affair with the beautiful Kim, something that will change his life completely.The American cast on this remake is fairly attractive. Zach Braff, a personable actor who keeps reminding this viewer of a young Dustin Hoffman is a charmer that has proved he has talent to spare. His Michael goes through a gamut of emotions. Equally good is Jacinda Barrett, a personable and gorgeous actress that always delivers. Casey Affleck and Rachel Bilson play Chris and Kim showing sensitive to the material. The older cast includes the excellent Blythe Danner and Tom Wilkinson, two people that are a welcome addition to any film. Harold Ramis, the director, has a small role.We look forward to more things from director Tony Goldwyn, hoping he finds the right original material in which to show the range which he is capable of giving an audience to enjoy.

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.

The Last Kiss is a movie about people, relationships and the human nature. It shows,in a very truth full way,some of our fears and anxieties when it comes to be with someone.The story revolves around 4 friends; Izzy, who is not dealing well with a recent break-up and is getting a hard time to let go,Kenny who goes trough life (and women) without committing,Chris a co-worker of Michael that can't handle the pressure of being a good father and the stress his wife creates and Michael who is married to Jenna in what looks like a perfect marriage.The sudden notice of Jenna's pregnancy makes Michael re-think his life and his goals and he starts to feel trapped.Then he meets a college girl and the 2 of them embark in a relationship without thinking trough.I think most of us can relate to what Zach Braff's character is going trough in the earlier beginning of the movie, sooner or later we all question our lives; where it is now and where its going.Not a masterpiece, but so much more then a chick flick. 8/10
