What do you do when
you’ve realized you’ve made a huge
mistake… in love?
Growing up is hard
to do. No one wants to give up the care
free lazy hazy days of summer and return
to the grind of the fall season, where
everything is route and usual.
You meet someone.
Like them. And if you stay long enough…
you fall in love. They're everything
you’ve dreamed of and more. And if you
didn’t dream… well, it’s an unexpected
surprise that you didn’t even know you
wanted till you got it.
So why are so many
afraid of commitment?
And even more
important… why do we so desperately try
to salvage what scares us?
The Last Kiss
focuses on the fear of all that comes
with ‘coming of age’. Buying a home,
saving for an affordable car isn’t one
of the greatest highlights of your life.
Michael (Zach Braff) fears he hasn’t
done something great with his life. His
wonderful girlfriend Jenna (Jacinda
Barrett) whom he has dated for 3 years
is perfect… ‘But’… Michael needs more.
With a quick trip to South America; an
obvious attempt at being foot-loose and
fancy free, Michael meets Kim (Rachel
Bilson). His immediate attraction is
obvious; and he runs with the idea of
‘missing’ something. And after lusting
over Kim (Rachel Bilson) he realizes
instantly that this was a huge mistake.
Braff’ commitment
to the role pays off has he has
successfully portrayed a believable
boyfriend determined to win his hearts
love. Anyone who has realized their
mistake the day after forever, can truly
identify with Braff’ impulsive actions.
The Last Kiss
can be viewed as a romantic comedy but
it is much more than meets the eye.
Attempting a committed life is just has
hard has grappling to leave one you’ve
committed to for so long.
Dramatics lye in
‘The Last Kiss’. A must see movie.
