Review: The Last Kiss



The Last Kiss, starring Zach Braff and Rachel Bilson came out in 2006, among fair reviews. What appealed to me was the fact that Paul Haggis wrote it, and everything I've seen from him is awesome.
The movie focuses primarily on Braff and his girlfriend's relationship as an average couple in Wisconsin. They find out that they're about to have a baby, and Braff sees his life flash before his eyes. Just at the moment when he's feeling as if "there are no surprises" left for his life, Rachel Bilson steps in. They met at a wedding- she's a college sophomore, and really into him. He has to decide which life he wants to have. While this is going on, there are sub stories with 3 of his friends, as well as his girlfriend's parents.
All in all, this was an engaging movie with a great cast. As with all of Braff's movies (such as Garden State), it has a great soundtrack, as well. I'd call it a must see!
