Canada Movie Reviews of The Last KissMovie Review: I hated this film
....for several reasons. Apparently, the other online reviewers are extremely over-analytical in their critiques of this film. The DVD's jacket has a quote from Rolling Stone..."Think 'Sex and the City' with men!" Well, I say, "Think again." As an avid watcher of "Sex and the City", this film has little if any comparison to SATC. Firstly, this film is not a comedy. There were very small instances when I kind of chuckled, but could barely muster a real laugh. Actually, towards the end of the film there is so much constant screaming and fighting that I kept hitting FAST FORWARD on the remote (those of you who regularly depend on reviews for movie choices know exactly what I mean here!). The characters are presented in a confusing fashion with only snippets and glimpses into each person's life. These disjointed glimpses don't give the viewer time or depth to care what happens to any of the spoiled rotten characters. Yes, they are all bored whether they are in their 30's or their 50's. Yes, they all want to break away from the mundane by running away or having affairs. I usually enjoy movies with this breaking-away-from-boredom type of plot for example...Pane e Tulipani (Bread and Tulips), Facing Windows (also starring Giovanna Mezzogiorno and a MUCH better film), Under the Tuscan Sun, Shirley Valentine, A Month by the Lake, etc. The Last Kiss does not deliver anything near what these other films do, however. The viewer is left with no warm feelings about life's decisions, only a twist ending that will make you furious and sick for having spent two hours watching this film. |
