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.

Reviews for The Last Kiss
Considering Bilson's sweet and cheeky performance, it won't be the last you see of her.

To a startling degree, this version retains many of the prickly elements that made the original so memorable.
09/21/06
Angst-driven whine-fest of a movie about a lot of shallow, unlikable characters.
09/20/06
I'm not exactly sure when Zach Braff decided to become my generation's spokesperson, and I'm even less certain he's the right man for the job.
09/19/06
I just wanted one person to tell one character in this film, "So what? So what if you have no surprises? Like you deserve some. So what if you're a bored old couple? Like you were such interesting people 30 years ago."
09/17/06
The original was full of warmth, humor and poignance while the remake is full of rain clouds and navel-gazing.

...for the twenty-something crowd. Older viewers may enjoy the performances, but the agonizing of the characters will likely bring about a 'been there, done that' reaction.

The youthful leads all had a limited range of emotions.

We’re supposed to scratch our chins and ponder the faux wisdom of lines of dialogue like, “relationships: they either work or they don’t.” Who knew?

Your standard coming of age story, done late.

... 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.

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

... veterans Danner and Wilkinson effortlessly make Anna and Stephen more interesting than all the youngsters combined.
09/15/06
It's not Love Actually. It certainly ain't Pretty Woman. It isn't any movie Meg Ryan has ever been in. Unflinching and pessimistic, The Last Kiss is anything but escapist.
09/15/06
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.
09/15/06
... The Last Kiss takes a serious look at what's too often described glibly as early midlife crisis, and it shows some courage in not tying up its stories neatly at the end.
09/15/06
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 ...
09/15/06
Top CriticThe Last Kiss uses a lot of cellphones, but it never gets the wake-up call to become a real story.
09/15/06
... predictable, unremarkable and overly familiar.
