2.5 stars-drama that needs to be more tightly focused

The Last Kiss is a movie about relationships that wants to be seen as emotionally honest and insightful, but it focuses on too many couplings and the characters are so underdeveloped that it never leaves much of a mark.

Zach Braff and Jacinda Barrett are the central couple, an attractive, successful pair who are having a child together even though he is afraid to committ to marriage. When he cheats with a young college student (Rachel Bilson) their relationship takes a turn for the worse. If the movie had just focused on this relationship, it might have been able to flesh out the two charcters a little bit more and we would have cared about whether or not they fixed things. Instead, the movie gives equal amounts of time to other relationships including Blythe Danner and Tom Wilkinson as a couple married 30 years. None of the relationships that is explored really provides much insight or packs any emotional punch.

It's not unitl the end of the film, when Braff's character plants himself on his girlfriend's porch and refused to leave until she talks to him that the movie comes to life at all. Braff does this after Tom Wilkinson's character tells him that in order to get her back he has to do "whatever it takes". It is actually touching to watch as Braff devotes himself to saving his relationship in such a determined manner. But up unitl that point, the movie is a self-indulgent snooze. December 22, 2008

Great movie, great director

Zack Braff is not only a great actor, but a great director as well. I loved this movie, for the script, the acting, and the plot. Plus, it's a great movie to sit down and watch with a potential girlfriend. :-P September 18, 2008
