Average Rating:5.7/10

Consensus: 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.

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for sexuality, nudity and language

Runtime: 1 hr 44 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:Sep 15, 2006 Wide

Synopsis: Based on the Italian film L'ULTIMO BACIO and directed by Tony Goldwyn (A WALK ON THE MOON), THE LAST KISS is a film about growing pains and choices. Nearing his 30th birthday, marriage-phobic... Based on the Italian film L'ULTIMO BACIO and directed by Tony Goldwyn (A WALK ON THE MOON), THE LAST KISS is a film about growing pains and choices. Nearing his 30th birthday, marriage-phobic Michael (Zach Braff) loves his live-in girlfriend Jenna (Jacinda Barrett), but worries that there are no surprises left in his life. Enter Kim (Rachel Bilson), a vibrant college student Michael meets at a wedding. Soon, he finds himself treading in dangerous territory; he loves Jenna, but is intrigued by Kim and attracted to both her and to the possibilities that a new relationship offers. With Kim, Michael not only feels 10 years younger, but also as if anything is possible. Now, he has to decide if pursuing Kim is worth the risk of losing Jenna, and if the life he has planned with Jenna is in fact the life he really wants. Michael, meanwhile, is not the only one experiencing growing pains; his friends have their own relationship issues. Izzy (Michael Weston) is battling heartbreak after being dumped by his longtime girlfriend. Chris (Casey Affleck) and his wife already have a rocky relationship, and are feeling the stress of having their first baby. Kenny (Eric Christian Olsen) is the only one without relationship issues--but that's only because he is determined to remain a single ladies' man. Then there are Jenna's parents, Anna (Blythe Danner) and Stephen (Tom Wilkinson), who are facing their own issues after 30 years of marriage. THE LAST KISS looks at relationships from all angles, and shies away from finger-pointing and laying blame. Instead, it acknowledges that the world is full of temptation, and that growing up is serious business. Braff does a nice job of conveying Michael's confusion without asking for sympathy. [More]

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

Cole Smithey

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.

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

Jules Brenner

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.

Probes in a light-hearted way the problems of individuals for whom the yearning of passion spells discontent.

Fazendo um bom trabalho de direção, Tony Goldwyn cria uma narrativa leve e sensível, demonstrando inteligência em momentos nos quais ilustra os problemas do protagonista de maneira sutil.

Urban Cinefile Critics

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.

Strong performances and interesting ideas make the film worth a gamble but it's far from the relationship classic it longs to be.

Crediting its audience with emotional intelligence, this rises well above your usual rom-com-dram.

Matthew Turner

Braff's gormless, blank-faced acting worked in Garden State because his character was depressed and withdrawn, but here it only serves to render him smug, punchable and utterly unsympathetic.

Relatively compelling at the time, it’s just a bit too glib to resonate for much longer afterwards.
