Here is a movie that is as hopeful as it is sad. It shows the downs and the worries in life but also the love. "The Last Kiss" is about five couples all with different problems. What you need to know is that there is a problem in each of them. The main story involves Michael (Zach Braff) and Jenna (Jacinda Barret). A long lasting couple that has a pregnancy to throw things out of order. Enter the young but likable Kim (Rachel Bilson). Michael looks at her as a chance of freedom, one he knows he shouldn't have or really want. Casey Affleck, Michael Weston, Eric Christian Olsen and Tom Wilkinson play the men in the other couples are are the more important factors to each relationship. Some scenes are startling and emotional (Casey Affleck panicking in the bathroom as his baby cries) but others seem both cute and puke worthy at the same time (Braff sleeping on the porch). The character's don't play to the audiences sympathies at first, very smart. It somewhat loses this at the end and other characters will wrap up their story just to give Braff's story the main focus. Pretty good movie though.
7/10
Recommendation: Romantic drama, good if you want one but you can stay away if your not looking to watch one.
