Plot Outline
Adapted from the 2001 Italian film L'Ultimo bacio, this flick goes through a number of relationships, spanning a number of different ages, and disects the hardships of those relationships. - Sounds typical mush mush, huh?

This film has been incorrectly advertised as a romantic comedy that puts Michael in the middle of two girls, and he cannot decide which one he wants to continue his life with. This is a plain marketing lie to get the rom-com crowd to go watch it. This film deals with the story of four male friends and how their relationships with women have evolved. They are all in their late 20's about to hit 30 and the reality of behaving and acting like an adult suddenly sets in.

We follow the main character Michael played by Zach Braff and follow through his thoughts as his future is neatly being planned out in front of him.

Overall Impressions:
Amibuous though it may sound, if you're in the right frame of mind you may walk away with something more than just entertainment from this film, then again maybe not..

Zach Braff has become something of an easily identifiable every man. He filled the shoes for a generation unsure of its path and desperately in need of meaning. And though he merely plays a role in this film, he has become the face of the film thanks to all his praise and enthusiasm for it. If looked at from an analytical point of view, his performance is the saving grace of the film, since the story, dialog, etc have very little scope for treading new paths. Its an age old story retold.

That all being said, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sometimes you just have to let the critic sleep and enjoy the simplicity of human affairs. Thats what it is & through these means I actually found it quite interesting, even thought provoking.

Above the generic rom-com standard fair, more a thinker (i found). (6.5 out of 10)
