The Last Kiss

Pros: Um... Barrett and Wilkinson weren't terrible...
Cons: ... everyone and everything else was!

The Last Kiss is a Hollywood remake of an Italian film L’ Ultimo Bacio. Experience tells us that Hollywood remakes of European films are rarely worth the effort (Vanilla Sky [from Abre Tus Ojos] being a good example), but you never ...

Pros: Great cast, a healthy mix of comedy and drama
Cons: Too much drama, not enough background info on supporting characters

The Last Kiss stars Zach Braff as a bachelor nearing his 30’s with a baby along the way, but he’s not quite ready for the responsibility of being a husband and a father. The title of the movie has to do with his desire to have one last ...

Pros: good dialogue, funny characters, excellent performances
Cons: yawnable premise

You know a movie has made its mark when you see it popping up in other movies, almost a decade later. The movie I'm referring to is Magnolia, that much-loved and much-hated three-hour epic by Paul Thomas Anderson, a film about tragic serendepity as we ...

Pros: Great performances from Danner, Wilkinson, Casey Affleck and Jacinda Barrett. Excellent soundtrack.
Cons: Boring, ridiculous.

The Last Kiss is a drama that looks like it wants to be fun also. Unfortunately, it is so full of itself that it takes some effort to stay with it. My wife fell asleep twice watching this movie, and with good reason. We almost turned it off after ...

Pros: fine performance by all; script; multiple storylines.
Cons: Semi-predictable.

Man meets woman; man falls for woman, woman falls for man; man moves in with woman; man and woman are expecting a baby; man gets skittish and his eyes turn to another (younger) woman; woman find out the lie and flips out ending the relationship; man ...

Pros: Good cast pulls it off well
Cons: Drama gets unconvincing and forced, subplots build and lose steam without explanation

To be honest, I'm glad I didn't fork over 10 bucks to see The Last Kiss, which really isn't an extraordinary flick. It's really a movie in another long line of relationship/twentysomething movies that ironically follows Zach Braff's Garden State. The ...

Pros: Nice mix of comedy and drama, in a relationship based movie
Cons: sex scenes a little over the top

If you like movies about relationships you will like this one. I took my college freshman daughter to see this movie, and we both enjoyed it. The sound track was a plus as well, including songs, "Warning Sign" by Coldplay and "Today's the Day" by Aimee ...
