2006 / Tony Goldwyn > It’s nowhere near as bad as I expected (which was, essentially, a cross between Garden State and Crash). It’s definitely a film where personal identification makes or breaks one’s opinion. It’s made for people in certain stages in their lives, especially those in longer-term relationships who question and wonder the long-term viability of these lives. The Last Kiss, surprisingly, does little to answer those questions, which is preferable as not to seem pedantic and righteous. In the sector of emotional resonance, though, it comes nowhere near Nichols’ Closer, which further perfected the art of heartbreaks. Nonetheless, the supporting stories here are relevant and of interest, and Rachel Bilson’s film-debut is full of appreciative spunk.
