Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

pinenapple I didn't really like this movie. While trying too hard to be realistic, it failed completely with all the clichés and unrealistic characters. Zack Braff was good, but nowhere near good as he was in Garden State, and his character was childish, bad and just too unlikeable. His girlfriend, however, was plain terrible. I'm not sure if it was just bad acting on her part or the director's fault, but she sucked terribly. Rachel Bilson, unlike what I had expected, didn't stand out at all, but she wasn't terrible either. The highlights of the movie were, however, Casey Affleck and the actor who portrays Zack Braff's father. All in all, not a good movie.

pc95 Another turd of a script pooped out by Paul Haggis, "The Last Kiss" is not quite as poor as "Crash"'s script, is still a real turd. The sappy sitcom situations drawn up are contrived and forced replete with characters double-tracking, forgiving and screaming over and over again. To top it all off there's the clichéd "I'm growing older" wedding whining and soupy throughout. Lead Zach Braff in a similarly aloof goony character whom no one can identify with as in "Garden State" only this movie is not up to the task and unfocused comparatively to Garden State. We have too many characters and melodrama enough for 3 movies in this crud. Why did Tom Wilkerson stoop to the level of being in this horrid material. It's Grey's Anatomy sitcom clichéd crap. Wholly bad....Give it a miss.

Simon Shaw "This review contains spoilers"I, like many others I imagine, watched 'The Last Kiss' on the strength of 'Garden State' - a likable little movie that shares the same star Zach Braff. The similarities end there for The Last Kiss is an unsympathetic look at what happens when a 30 year old (Braff as Michael) chases one last fling to avoid the less attractive reality of a long term relationship with a pregnant woman (Jacinda Barrett) who actually, you know - expects him to behave like an adult. Enter Rachel Bilson, perfectly cast as the brunette temptress Kim who could offer a less final and responsible alternative.Michael's friends (though the film never convinces us that their ties run any deeper than attending the same schools) are also painfully suffering from their own assortment of commitment issues. There's the one married with child, the adulterous handsome one and the heart-broken loser of love. Tellingly each of these characters are infinitely more likable than the whiny, self-pitying Braff though there stories are anemically sparse in comparison. No one it seems is capable of a shred of happiness but their collective misery is at least slightly entertaining.The Last Kiss is a manipulative, insultingly simplified "drama" that is geared to sell off the already established 'Braff image' - you know, the deep thinking tortured soul who just needs his hair stroked by 'the one' (so long as she's ridiculously hot of course). In the films climax (or groan) Braff, having been locked out of the house by his spurned partner, waits and pines on the porch for just one chance of forgiveness. This involves heroically braving the rain, sleeping against the front door, relying on the neighbours for a sympathetic glass of water and all the while sound tracked with the laboured sentiments of Coldplay just to really hammer it home. You see, even when Braff plays a cheating misanthrope - he's still you know, heroically cool.He's not the only offender, Jacinda Barrett as his parter Jenna takes a lumpen script and somehow makes it sound even worse. When the two do finally square off it should have been the dramatic centre piece, it turns out to be in-appropriate and terribly unconvincing. Jenna pulls out a kitchen knife and charmingly proclaims she hopes Michael would 'catch AIDS'. JD, sorry Michael, retorts with possibly the most unintentionally comical sequence of expletives in cinematic history.The conflicts in failing relationships were portrayed infinitely better in 'Closer' so there is little reason in watching this damp squid of a drama.

TomCruiseFan99 This movie is best summed up as a dramatic romantic comedy. And that is not meant to sound negative. In fact, this movie is totally realistic and the dialogue is razor sharp and should be instinctively recognizable to any of us who has actually been in love. Credit for the witty yet heart-tugging storyline goes to Paul Haggis, the genius who wrote the Oscar-winners Million Dollar Baby and Crash, as once again, his knowledge and experience of human emotions come flooding through every scene.The basic premise of the movie is a showcase of how awkward the transition can be for men, from independent, party-lover to responsible, mature adult. For some of the characters though, when you add marriage and a child to the mix, their failure to face the impending end of "freedom" is spectacularly disastrous. None more so than the lead character of Michael, who is terrified of getting married and buying a house and growing up, plus having to deal with the fact that his girlfriend is pregnant. It all seems too much to face at once, until he meets Kim, a much younger college student who awakens feelings of freedom and independence within him, even though she knows he's in a relationship. Seeing how this plays out is funny and heartbreaking at the same time.Like any good romance story, there are many other inter-connected plot lines, and they are all handled with deft skill and infinite neutrality. Trying to pick sides in this story is quite hard, which is why romance is probably not as easy as it seems. The acting is first-rate, the story is unpredictable and you'll definitely pay more attention to your own relationship afterwards. Excellent!
