    Jenna and Michael are in love and are sincerely committed to each other. When he learns that Jenna is pregnant, he's overwhelmed initially. However, after a while, he begins to panic. He's confused since things are going his way, as planned, and life holds no surprises for him. A... read morelthough he doesn't admit it to Jenna, he begins to doubt how long their relationship will last, especially when he's surrounded by friends (and even Jenna's mother) going through crisis in their relationship. When Kim enters his life, he falls for her only to realize that he loves only Jenna. So, will he be able to make things right and save their relationship?

    Sounds conventional, doesn't it? Well, it is. Besides, it's so full of cliches. (I wish they'd managed to avoid them. But then, we wouldn't be having a film, would we? Yet, at the very least, they could have reduced its proportion; there surely was no need for such an ample quantity.) Nevertheless, the movie does have its fair share of funny moments and witty dialogues. Even after undergoing all the cliches, I didn't find the movie terrible. In fact (and to my own surprise, don't ask me why because I don't know that myself), I found it entertaining enough. I won't comment about the lead pair, but the supporting cast was incredible, with the exception of Blythe Danner.

    Whether or not the movie is any good, I'm the final judge on that. And I guess I'm gonna reserve its outcome until the Judgment Day. Doesn't sound too good, does it? Well then, how about this: Whether or not the movie is any good, I guess you'll have to check it out for yourself. So long.

    I just watched this movie and all I can think is that there was sooo much yelling. I don't think I expected so much yelling from the preview but I also know that it was forever ago that I saw a preview.

    One should not make the mistake of comparing this to the masterpiece "Garden State" just because Zach Braff is in it, only the soundtracks are similarly excellent. No, "Last Kiss" has a whole different kind of approach to love and relationships. A circle of friends in their late ... read more30s are in more or less steady relationship, some with babies or babies on the way, others coping with break ups or enjoying random sex. Braff's character is tempted by an adorable girl while his pregnant girlfriend tells her parents the happy news. Said parents are having their own problems...in short: the movie is a bit unfocused in the first half, trying to combine too many stories into the big picture. Once the focus returns to Braff's problem of a one night stand and the aftermath the film has its best moments without falling into stereotypes. Most romantic comedies would either punish the male with an unhappy ending for cheating or make him resist in the first place. The fact that "Last Kiss" doesn't see the world as black and white but a lot more realistic may be too much to handle for people with pink glasses, but it is actually the movie's biggest asset and makes for a pretty great ending.

    I feel like I like these kinds of movies way more than I should. For one, I liked this a ton better than Garden State, and I'm not even sure why. Maybe it's because I'm secretly a whiny 30-year-old who just can't grow up. I don't need this life-affirming crap from Zach Braff of s... read morecreaming on top of a garbage heap and wandering around looking for the meaning of life; I need the breakdown of a real relationship, and this is what he gives me. The thing that impressed me most about this film were the FIGHTS. Sure, Rachel Bilson is cute, and Jacinda Barrett is beautiful in a very Anne-Archer-from-Fatal-Attraction kind of way, and his friends are hilarious, and Zach Braff is - well - Zach Braff, but somehow I feel like these all could be recreated in say - Superbad. The fights really got me. They're messy, they involve lots of screaming and tension but sometimes they're necessary and I honestly think Rachel Bilson was necessary for the guy to grow up. It's about adults making real-live choices and maybe it seems inconsequential to the ACTUAL whiny 30-year-old but to this naive 17-year-old it kinda seems like what growing up is all about. It sucks, but you have to do it.

    Well, it's been a pretty good movie by the way... A movie telling us how human can sometimes do mistakes... How they sometimes can be selfish about love, how sometimes human can deeply hurt the feelings of somebody they love but they don't care about it, they just think that 'at ... read moreleast I'm happy'... The cast were did a brilliant job, they did this movie like it's happening to their real life... And the multi character thing did pretty well, even in the beginning it really confuses me but then it just flows and it felt great... A great lesson, knowing that a movie didn't must entertain or make us amazed but this movie teach us something, and it's great I think... The music was helping too, it was nice... But the ending gave a big question, how's the next life of the main character? Maybe some people didn't like that but remember that life doesn't always end in a happy ending...

    A very detailed movie about relationships. All the actors done a great job and while (atleast for me) the things that happen sometimes are hard to watch it breaks down and portrays relationships with a scary close accuracy.

    It was very good, life-like, and more then worth wat... read moreching.

    I love this movie very much. A group of 30 year-olds struggle to adapt to adulthood while their aging parents face middle age.

    Everyone in this movie seems to be having problems with their relationships. Do I love her? Or do I need a fling with this hot chick? I don't think I would have taken Micheal (Zach Braff) back.

Only the most rabid chick-flick fan will fail to notice that it's the movie that's all wet.

Danner will surely win an Oscar if enough people see this film, but the real point is that her stormy, erratic gender-bender Lear performance elevates The Last Kiss above a well-made genre drama. Full Review

... 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. Full Review

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

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. Full Review

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 ... Full Review

... it would be nice to have some insight, and some artistry, along with the same old same old. The Last Kiss dispenses none of that.

[Braff] and the women of The Last Kiss give it weight, heart and smarts. Full Review

The Last Kiss is interminably bleak. It doesn't win laughs or offer catharsis. The film only lowers your spirits and never seems to end. Full Review

Lou Lumenick, New York Post

... a middling remake of a mediocre Italian comedy pandering to the chick-flick crowd ...
