The Last Kiss (DVD)

...films can be more than the sum of it's parts. The Godfather is much more than a mafia movie, Shaun of the Dead is much more than a comedy movie, The Matrix is much more than a sci-fi adventure. Whether this film is of a similar proportion is all dependant upon it's audience. The key to watching The Last Kiss is to go in with no expectations whatsoever. Starring, most notably, Zach Braff, known most notably for his role in American sitcom 'Scrubs' ...
...O.C.', this has all the ingredients for a throwaway romantic comedy. However, the film substitutes laughs for a broad range of emotion and the problems of being a young adult slowly reaching middle age. Whether or not you see this film as a long, moaning mess or as a poetic expression of rational fears depends on your own life experiences. Emotionally fragile male youths are probably the most likely to sympathise with Michael's (Braff) position as ...

Review of The Last Kiss (DVD)

...anxious, anxious about marriage and the future, because he is worried that there will be no more surprises in his life. In comes Kim (Rachel Bilson), a young university girl, who seems to be very interested in Michael. She seems to give him the surprises that he craves. Being pulled further into Kim's direction, MIchael makes a mistake. One last kiss. Review: This film and its characters annoyed me a lot. Why is Zach Braff such a stupid guy in ...
...you ruin it all with the anxiety of 'no surprises'? He is just creating problems for himself, to brighten up his days and so that he can have something to moan about. And Kim. Public enemy no 2. OK, she thought Michael is not happy with Jenna. Fine. Does that equate to 'oh let's have sex, because you don't like your girlfriend anyway'? No, I should think. She is deliberately trying to get with Michael even though she knows he has a girlfriend. Even ...

...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 ...

...powerful. It just feels real. The message of the film is fantastic. Not really knowing how it ends is a nice touch. Makes you think about the film even when it's over. The actors and actresses do a fantastic job at showing the story. The story is very true to life and shows the consequences of what happens. One scene is particular is fantastic. It really shows the hurt and betrayal of the girl. Absolutely brilliant film. Would definitely recommend ...
