Repackages messy human dilemmas into something neat, tidy and oh-so-manipulatively inspiring.

The film skates by on charm, wit and a firm belief that commitment is always the best choice.

Although it gives us more characters than we can easily keep count of, it's hard to care about any of them.

The lively appeal of The Last Kiss lies in the ease with which it integrates thoughtfulness and pasta-fagioli comedy.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Nov 4, 2002

The movie does a good job of laying out some of the major issues that we encounter as we journey through life.

The Last Kiss will probably never achieve the popularity of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but its provocative central wedding sequence has far more impact.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 20, 2002

More tiring than anything.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 20, 2002

The Last Kiss isn't all that challenging; it torments its characters but leaves the audience relatively unscathed. But more movies should be so funny and perceptive, with writing this sharp and acting this believable.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 20, 2002

Muccino's brisk direction and an enthusiastic cast provide considerable polish.

| Original Score: B | Sep 19, 2002

The Last Kiss can and should be appreciated as an uproarious comedy of sexual manners, but get past that layer and there's a darker, more pessimistic movie underneath.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 13, 2002

Fits nicely into a new genre that seems intent upon examining whether marriage -- or even love -- are the answers to everything.

The Last Kiss travels familiar territory, but it does so with a lot of style, flair and sly wit.

Full Review | Sep 3, 2002

The Last Kiss, a crowd-pleaser in the deepest sense, mixes heartbreak and happiness together until you don't even want to see them apart.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 31, 2002

The trouble is that there's only so much emotional energy you can expend on these assholes before you start wondering why you're paying attention to them at all.

Even though many of these guys are less than adorable (their lamentations are pretty much self-centered), there's something vital about the movie.

Full Review | Aug 30, 2002

The problem is that the movie has no idea of it is serious or not.
