Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

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.'

"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.

THIS REVIEW SHOULD BE READ BY THOSE WHO'VE ACTUALLY SEEN THE MOVIE There are a lot of films that deal with mid-life crises in their own ways. Some come out great, some totally miss the point. But every now and then a film tries, and falls short. This is "The Last Kiss".What the writers and the director did for this movie pretty much reflects what the Zach Braff character said at the end of the movie, where the couple should at least try to make things work. I think that's what this movie tried to do as well.It's unfair to compare movies, therefore I won't go there. But this movie itself, was missing something. Maybe it needed to be longer, maybe it needed to a series, or a 2-part movie in order to delve into the characters and their issues a little bit more, but I feel like with the set-up they gave us at the beginning of the movie, this film could have done a lot more, had there been more time for it to do. It could have been better, because it had the potential but for whatever reason, the movie length was that length, and the choice of words coming out of Zach Braff's mouth (awful, just absolutely awful) were those words.This movie dealt with a good theme, and good initial story-lines but failed in its premise, and became too "movie-like" and less "real-world" if you know what I mean. This is an important point because that is what the movie was aiming at.And so for that reason, I'll give it a 2 out 4 stars. RIP Roger Ebert.

"I've been thinking about my life lately, and everything feels pretty planned out. There's no more surprises" – this is the line of Zach Braff's character (Michael) in the movie The Last Kiss. And this is the line that almost took the love of his life, although it is the same line that made him realized that, yes - it is the love of his life.The Last Kiss is a movie about Love – not romance. It is a movie about doing the right thing – not the hot thing. It is a movie about Kindness being the source of True Love – not passion or any commercialized cute adjectives.The Last Kiss is a honest take on the real perils of life – in the same manner that it deals with surviving these perils and still achieving both true love and true life.In the movie, Zach Braff plays the character of Michael – a twenty nine year old Architect who had a steady three years relationship with Jenna, who is three months pregnant and whom he's planning to marry. Everything seems smooth until Michael met Kim on his friends wedding. Kim is a sexy, free-spirited college chic (played by Rachel Bilson) who's hard to refuse if you're on Michael's pants, err, shoes.Both Michael and Jenna are surrounded with people dealing with difficulty of having a relationship be it a new or a thirty year old marriage. Michael's friend and co-worker Chris is full and fed up on his neurotic wife, Izzy who can't let go of his childhood sweetheart, and the handsome stud Kenny who is afraid of commitment. Jenna's parents on the other hand are almost on the brink of separation – thanks to his father's Kindness (not understanding – yes, this movie made me realized that it is not enough to understand the mistakes of the people around you, but to be kind enough to embrace these people, and accept and let go of the mistake – the act that they committed).These situations added pressure on their relationship. As if it is no longer possible to live a life that is shaped by love, trust and commitment. Michael made the mistake. He chose to make that mistake. He also chooses to correct that mistake. The same mistake that Jenna's mother committed three years ago. Their lives did not end after committing these mistakes. It only started there.In the end, Michael and Jenna started – again. This time they know better. They Love better. They will eventually live better.MY TAKE The movie's tagline is about making choices, and the good thing on this movie is that it provided honest inputs for the audience to ponder the better side of choices. The movie also put Love on its rightful place. Jenna's father, played by Tom Wilkinson is heart-warming. Some of my favorite lines from him are:Stop talking about love. Every asshole in the world says he loves somebody. It means nothing. It still doesn't mean anything. What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you say you love, that's what matters. It's the only thing that counts. (If you want something) Do whatever it takes. You can't fail if you don't give up. People know the truth. They may not like it or want to know it, but they always know. Lie and you'll lose her.Aside from the consistency of the story and the cast's brilliance – the soundtrack complimented every scene which makes the movie more delightful to watch.
