Clevercell Very disappointing...
Pluskylang Great Film overall
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
zafar142007 This one has a story, and plenty of good moments. You can see how the protagonist (Zach) develops his feelings, learns more about himself and his relationship as the drama unfolds. It's essentially a movie about human relationships. The story, however, could have been more coherent if the side plots were more developed. By the end, you get the point the movie is trying to make, but the minor plots could have contributed to it better. The scene when Michael waits on the porch for forgiveness was appropriately emotive for a climax. A dialogue that I remember from this one:'You can't fail if you never give up.'
kosmasp If you haven't the original Italian movie this is based on, do yourself a favor and watch it instead of this. If you already have watched the remake, you can still go and revisit the story which is handled way better. Of course you will feel differently about the Remake and like it much more than my rating is suggesting at the moment. But if you take my advise you might see where I'm going with this.While Zach and others are doing a decent job, you'd expect the movie to capture the essence way better than it actually does. If you have seen Garden State you might even be disappointed by the lack of effort (or at least it feels like a lack). Relationships are hard work, remakes are even harder work ... or not
tuga9890 "The Last Kiss" had a lot of potential, at least judging from the trailer and the synopsis. I love this movie genre and I liked "Garden State", so I decided to give this a try, but, unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed almost from the beginning.I have read a lot of reviews saying that this movie portraits life as it is for couples in their late twenties, but I just could not feel the connection. According to this script, all women are either shameless, needy or simply maniac while all men seem immature and stupid.First, I don't know a lot of women who would flirt openly with a complete stranger at a wedding and then still encourage any type of connection after they know he had a girlfriend. I have read many people who feel sorry for Kim's character, but, really, what could she expect? This doesn't mean that Michael was right in any way, shape or form, but their connection seems just too forced and unreal. Unfortunately, it was the main plot of the movie, so it fails flat right there.Second, what was the point of that awful scene where Jenna starts freaking out and screaming at Izzy's house right after his father dies just because she thinks her boyfriend MIGHT be cheating on her? How can Jenna be described as the "perfect" girlfriend at any point, really? I can only see a needy, self-centred, immature and maniac brat. God forbid if that is the definition of a perfect girlfriend! What type of "good" person would be so disrespectful? Wouldn't it make a little more sense to leave and wait for your boyfriend to come back and then talk things over in private? What good does it make to scream your heart out, act like you have just run away from a mental hospital and threaten your boyfriend with a knife? Maybe it's just me, but, especially considering that she was pregnant, wouldn't it be preferable to break things up if they were not working any more and, I don't know, maybe think a bit more of the well-being of her child? I don't know a lot of people who would react like that in real life, and even if they would, I'm certain they would never have been universally praised as "perfect".Considering her mother also acts like a teenage girl even though she seems to be well into her 60s, maybe the point of the movie is really just to show how the world is a difficult place when you're a spoilt brat.All in all, I didn't feel this movie was realistic in any way. In real life, people try to deal with their problems as well as they know. Of course they screw up and make mistakes, but, at least from my experience, they either sit down and talk about or accept that things can't be fixed and move on with their lives as best as possible. That is what being an adult means, I think.Here you look at a series of characters who have no idea what they are doing and seem to insist on being miserable for no particular reason. Perhaps that was exactly the point of the movie and there are a lot of people who can relate to it, but I just couldn't relate to it.
BernardoLima The Last Kiss is a movie about people, relationships and the human nature. It shows,in a very truth full way,some of our fears and anxieties when it comes to be with someone.The story revolves around 4 friends; Izzy, who is not dealing well with a recent break-up and is getting a hard time to let go,Kenny who goes trough life (and women) without committing,Chris a co-worker of Michael that can't handle the pressure of being a good father and the stress his wife creates and Michael who is married to Jenna in what looks like a perfect marriage.The sudden notice of Jenna's pregnancy makes Michael re-think his life and his goals and he starts to feel trapped.Then he meets a college girl and the 2 of them embark in a relationship without thinking trough.I think most of us can relate to what Zach Braff's character is going trough in the earlier beginning of the movie, sooner or later we all question our lives; where it is now and where its going.Not a masterpiece, but so much more then a chick flick. 8/10
