The Last Kiss


Cast : Zach Braff , Jacinda Barrett , Casey Affleck, Tom Wilkinson
Director : Tony Goldwyn

Hey guys.. (m talking as if iv 200 people following my blog and atleast 50 comments m getting for my reviews.. (sic)).. been really long time saw any movie and actually been long time since i saw some romantic flick..(i quite like this genre but surprisingly i dnt hv too many romantic movies in my library.. aren’t they making good ones or wat.. ?? heylow.. anyone listening)..

Khair, the title sounded ultimate romantic types so prepared myself for some nostalgic stuff. Well it was rather OK..

Michael (Braff) is a young man who is in love with Jenna (Barrett). The two are engaged and are expecting their first child…but Michael has many anxieties about settling down. He feels as though his old life will end when he is married…and what if he isn't ready to close the book on that part of his life? He happens upon a beautiful young college student named Kim (Bilson) and the two begin an innocent relationship. They are just friends…but Michael refuses to tell Jenna, wanting to keep the relationship a secret. At the same time, Jenna's parents are going through a spot of trouble. Her mother, Anna (Danner), is sick of feeling unloved and leaves Jenna's father, Stephen (Wilkinson). Michael's friends, all in various stages of relationships, also begin to have many problems with their loved ones. "The Last Kiss" tells of the drama that can exist between any couple in any stage of their relationship and that, ultimately, love is a leap of faith that must be made between two people together…or not at all.

If you're looking for a moderate movie -- nothing too serious, but then nothing too fluffy -- something that you can watch, maybe chuckle a few times, or maybe something that might get you to think more deeply about relationship (and in particular if you're considering getting into a long-term relationship, or if you're not sure a long-term relationship you're in), then this would be just the ticket. You get into the minds of the characters, and there are quite a few that you can get to know, which lets you empathize with them. Some questions that I pondered watching this: is avoidance an option in life? Is truth always the best policy?
