Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Death Row (DVD)
Advantages: Intense captivating storyline Disadvantages: Some 2D characters
I found this movie highly watchable. It contains some very good quality acting on behalf of Zach Braff throughout - featuring his usual Scrubs-like comedy lines. The movie doesnt however feature a few somewhat 2D characters who never really develop through the film.
The soundtrack was excellent featuring songs from snow patrol, which fitted the mood of the movie very well and kept the story fluid and moving quickly. I found the storyline thrilling but somewhat predictible because it was obvious from the start that Zach's character and his girlfriend would get back together by the time the hour and 1/2 was up. However, this predictiblilty is common in most romantic comedies and so was expected.
Overall, i found The Last Kiss very enjoyable viewing with some great comedy moments all the way through. I love Zach Braff's acting ...
for me as I can buy videos at only a few pence each.
I managed to find Never Been Kissed for 25p which I thought was outstanding value , compared to the price I would pay if I were to buy it on DVD from Amazon (£4.98 to be precise - saving £4.73).

DVD Description
KISS OF DEATH opens with ex-convict Jimmy Kilmartin (David Caruso) attempting to distance himself from his shady past. His cousin, Ronny (Michael Rapaport), shows up at his door begging for help with one more heist, and Jimmy agrees to participate against his better judgment. Things go sour when a detective is shot, and Jimmy is left to take the fall. As Jimmy's hopes for a normal life with his wife (Helen Hunt) and daughter fade, he becomes a pawn of the police in their attempts to bring down a psychotic gangster named Little Junior (Nicolas Cage). Caruso and a pumped-up, supremely menacing Cage highlight a spectacular cast that also features Samuel L. Jackson as the cop who becomes Jimmy's solitary ally and Stanley Tucci as a Machiavellian district attorney. Novelist Richard Price supplies the screenplay, and director Barber Schroeder (SINGLE WHITE FEMALE) ensures that KISS OF DEATH, based loosely on the 1947 film of the same name, unfolds with the grooved precision of a well-made watch while bristling at every turn with the volatile life of a vividly imagined criminal underworld.
