I have a bit of love hate relationship with Zach Braff, 90% of the time I like him, he makes a good lovable goofball who I could totally see myself hanging out with, 10% of the time I want to I want to do disgusting things to him with gardening equipment. With that out of the way I would have to consider myself a fan though, I think he is quite funny on Scrubs (a show that I love) and I rather enjoyed Garden State so I figured I would enjoy The Last Kiss which I went to see over the weekend.

I didn’t really know anything about the movie other than what the above poster told me. I was thinking it had an interesting cast and for some reason my brain interpreted the poster as this move being a lighthearted romantic comedy. I was wrong. The movie did have an interesting cast who I thought were all strong in their roles but The Last Kiss is not a romantic comedy. The Last Kiss is a straight up drama and a fairly heavy one at that.

I enjoyed it for the most part. I found the characters for the most part to be believable; although Rachel Bilson’s (super cutie) character fell for “Michael” awfully fast and hard. The acting was good, I was particularly impressed with Blythe Danner (who is aging incredibly gracefully) and with Tom Wilkinson who is always good. While I am talking about actors make sure you watch for the Ghostbuster cameo

The movie isn’t without it’s faults though, it is rather generic and a bit lifeless. The relationship between Kim and Michael is forced with Kim acting in a way that just doesn’t make much sense to me. But they need that relationship for the movie to work so you just have to accept it as a plot device. I would love to meet a girl like Kim though and have her do to me what she did to him., but that’s just because it has been far too long since I got laid.

I wouldn’t say rush out and go see this film but I wouldn’t stop anyone from going to see it either. It’s a decent little film that I will probably forget about in a month.

Oh yeah, there are boobies in the movie which always helps.
