Editorial Review:

Hankies at the ready: the young and pretty ensemble cast of The Last Kiss are about to find out, all too realistically, that grown-up relationships are hard work. Based on an Italian film, The Last Kiss follows a young couple, their friends and their family as they each struggle to come to terms with their lives and relationships-–a difficulty compounded by the realisation that they may already have enjoyed their final first kiss. Hence the title.

The excellent soundtrack, hand selected by star Zach Braff, complements the drama perfectly. It also evokes 2004’s Garden State, though fans looking for a recreation of that movie’s naïve charm may be disappointed: The Last Kiss is rather more downbeat. It’s also more adult; the sheen of youthful optimism has been rubbed off, replaced with a painful observation that sometimes, life just isn’t easy.

Zach Braff-completists should make sure their Scrubs collections are up to date before picking this up; his character in The Last Kiss isn’t as cute and cuddly as his previous incarnations. And be warned if you’re looking for a light and fluffy comedy: despite appearances, this is not the movie for you. It’s worth a look, but only once you’ve had a chance to stock up on tissues.--Sarah Dobbs

• DUMB
  Zach Braff's most recent swill Last Kiss pised me off more than any cinema experience all year. From the grating, false characters to the painfully self-conscious script, I was always aware that I was watching some smug kid's assumption of what love and relationships are all about in the real world.
  So contemptuous, so vile, so insipid, and so heavy-handed in its calculated sweetness, that it set new standards for what is becoming the only type of independent film left.
  

• This film is NOT FUNNY...but it is brilliant
  As others have mentioned, this film has been woefully marketed as a comedy drama / romantic comedy - but if you're looking for a film full of cheap gags and laugh out loud moments you're way off track here...
  That said, the marketing is pretty much the only thing wrong with the entire film.
  The performances are brilliant, particularly Zach Braff and Casey Affleck, and the vast majority of people who watch will find a character to which they can relate.
  It doesn't sugar coat issues, not every... more info

• Yep, it's all women's fault men are unfaithful
  Apart from a fairly good soundtrack, there was nothing endearing about this film. All the characters were utterly unlikeable. The women were portrayed as either stupid, sluttish, clingy, whiney, need I go on? Were we suppsoed to identify with the male lead's feelings of fear being justification for cheating on his pregnant girlfriend? Probably the most revolting fact was that he was discovered cheating and rather then trying to make amends, carried on!
  Men may like this film, as it might confirm to him... more info

• Outstanding movie - are you nuts?!?
  I agree with Javs ans Sean McCann, I like Zach Braff in Scrubs and thought Garden State was pretty decent, but he needs to branch out in his role choices. This film starts fairly ok until the script basically gives up, with little development of really any of the characters. With that, you really don't care about anyone in the story, which I feel is down to not only the script but the direction too. This film is a bad waste of Zach Braff and Rachel Bilson, which is a damn shame.
