The Last Kiss

A trip of romantic misfortunes
By PETER KEOUGH  |  September 13, 2006
2.0 2.0 Stars

There’s no want of misogyny in Tony Goldwyn’s film, which, based on a screenplay by Paul Haggis (Crash), follows the romantic misfortunes of a group of buddies. Michael (Zach Braff) has the perfect fiancée, so why does he sneak around when she gets pregnant? Maybe he’s scared off by the plight of Chris (Casey Affleck), whose wife has treated him like shit since their child was born. Maybe he’s inspired by the example of Kenny (Eric Christian Olsen), who’s got a new woman every night. Whatever the reason, he learns his lesson: women are ballbreakers, so curl up like a dog and take it.

    Having peaked with his debut, Napoleon Dynamite , Jared Hess has settled into being a family-friendly John Waters — which is redundant, since Waters is already rated PG-13.
  •   REVIEW: 35 SHOTS OF RUM  |  October 28, 2009
    Most American filmmakers would focus on the multicultural aspect of 35 Shots of Rum — Claire Denis takes it for granted that her characters are immigrants and doesn’t turn her film into a political discussion.
  •   REVIEW: AMERICAN CASINO  |  October 30, 2009
