Review of The Last Kiss (2006) by Ash J — 04 Sep 2010
A pretty weak film in my opinion. I found the leads Zach Braff and Jacinda Barrett, to be spoiled and completely self-absorbed, just not worth caring about. Their chemistry and acting was flat. Zach Braff is just wearing thin on me, I fail to see any complexity in his performances.
On the other hand, Blythe Danner and Tom Wilkinson were great, these were just solid performances that interestingly mirrored the younger couple's problems. Apparently getting older doesn't necessarily make you wiser, at least not terribly self-aware or better at solving the same old problems.
Casey Affleck's performance stood out, he possesses a great deal of charisma, shows promise that he fulfills in his later roles.
While I admire that there is no happily-ever-after, this film presents love and comittment as an impossible dream and that's just fucking depressing.
