You'll either find the The Last Kiss to be a phony bore or a refreshing take about young 20-somethings at the crossroads between their carefree lifestyle and responsibility. Zach Braff and the rest of the appealing cast make the case for the latter.

Only the most rabid chick-flick fan will fail to notice that it's the movie that's all wet.

Danner will surely win an Oscar if enough people see this film, but the real point is that her stormy, erratic gender-bender Lear performance elevates The Last Kiss above a well-made genre drama.

... what makes The Last Kiss especially satisfying is its vision of love as the soul of partnership -- rather than the crack high known as romance -- and something worth fighting for.

... the movie occasionally reveals truths about relationships that, while not earth-shattering, are nonetheless entertaining and worth considering.

It's easy to see from the above that The Last Kiss is a movie scripted from a male point of view to capture that elusive young male demographic.

There's nothing formulaic in this story of four buddies on the cusp of 30 torn between settling down and opening themselves up to more adventures ...

A nicely unsentimental look at modern relationships, The Last Kiss suffers a bit from haphazardness in its construction, but holds up through a strong cast and solid writing.

The Last Kiss isn't afraid of exploding romantic conventions--um, at least not at first. [Blu-ray]

a distinctly white bread romantic comedy sprinkled with brief flashes of modern-day American existentialist dread.

By risking the alienation of formula fans, screenwriter Paul Haggis and director Tony Goldwyn have taken a chance and given us a small gift.

It's a messy film because it deals with messy subject matter. But if you know what sort of things will be thrown at you, this film actually does work.

'Relationships either work or they don't,' says Kim. And that's about the extent of the movie's profundity. (Blu-ray Edition)

...another Hollywood fabrication about how people act and feel.... substituting theatrics for genuine emotion.

Main problem here is Braff, whose lack of conviction does little to get us involved with the various plot complications, least of all his. The result seems like so much workshop for all involved.

Fazendo um bom trabalho de dire��o, Tony Goldwyn cria uma narrativa leve e sens�vel, demonstrando intelig�ncia em momentos nos quais ilustra os problemas do protagonista de maneira sutil.

A perceptive look at relationships in crisis, the remake of Gabriele Muccino's 2003 film L'ultimo bacio is a romantic comedy that focuses on love when it is blue.

This is like watching people stick their hands on a gas stove's fire because no one told them not to do it and they couldn't figure it out themselves.

I just watched this movie and all I can think is that there was sooo much yelling. I don't think I expected so much yelling from the preview but I also know that it was forever ago that I saw a preview.
