The Last Kiss (15)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Zach Braff seems to be specialising in comedy dramas about how difficult it is to be a young, white, middle-class American male with no problems. In The Last Kiss he's about to turn 30, his gorgeous girlfriend is pregnant and he has a good job as an architect - the must-have career for any romantic hero in Hollywood. But instead of celebrating how brilliant his life is, he frets that it holds no more surprises, so he's tempted by the advances of an even-more-gorgeous student.
A faithful remake of a soapy Italian film, L'Ultimo Bacio, The Last Kiss is scripted by Paul Haggis, the writer of Crash and Million Dollar Baby. It has a few honest moments and amusing lines, but by doling out similar crises to Braff's three buddies, each of which illustrates how women are dedicated to ruining men's lives, it ends up as a misogynist whinge.
