The Last Kiss

My sister and I went t see The Last Kiss starring Zach Braff. It's about 5 friends approaching 30 and their crises.

I must start out by saying-this is NOT Garden State. Very far from Garden State.

Braff is great at playing the finny/sensitive/emotional guy. He is the John Cusak of my generation. However, it's so hard to watch him play a guy who makes so many mistakes and do some horrible things.

The film is very light at the begining, but near the halfway mark takes a dramatic turn. It's nice to see Braff show off some raw, dramatic chops. There are several subplots, all offer something to the story, but the main one is Braff's. His girlfriend has surprisingly become pregnant. Braff's character has a mid-life crisis of sorts, feeling his life is too planned out. He meets a college girl, Kim,(Rachel Bilson) and has to decide whether or not to succum to temptation.

The directing was sub par. While there were several great shots, the framing seemed off a lot of the time.

The film is rated R for some graphic sex scenes and language. If you're looking for lighter fare, I don't recomend it. But if you're looking for an old school "Where is my life going?" film, this may be for you.
