Watch The Last Kiss For Free

Purely Joyful Movie!

Best movie ever!

Absolutely the worst movie.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

"One Last Kiss" is one of those cases where I had nothing better to do, it appeared on the TV and I decided to watch. But first I look to the comments of IMDb users about it and most of them were very positive about Gabrielle Muccino's film, ratings flying high and all. But I must say that one of the reviews caught my attention and it was a bad one where the reviewer repeated terms related with "cry" "whine" and "Poor me" several times throughout his review, complaining on how this movie was so melodramatic and excessive. I laughed a lot with that review but he's totally right on that.The non amusing story covers the life of a man and his four friends, all of them in its 30's behaving themselves like if they were a bunch of teenagers,and all of them has issues with relationships, some are married but they've lost interest for his wives, they're immature, emotionally unstable and their lives is just as fast as a spinning wheel. Sorry, this paragraph was too long and I didn't had the chance to make you breathe right? Right! This movie was like this, it didn't calm us down, it only explores situations where all the casting has to shout to proof a point, they only shout and cry about how miserable their lives are.I usually love fast paced films and my disappointment with this was because, like many viewers pointed out, it was similar to "Magnolia" (one of the best films of all time), where several characters are connected, everything is frantic, the viewers can't hardly breathe only waiting what happens next. "One Last Kiss" is only inspired by the rhythm of Paul Thomas Anderson's movie and that's it. I don't get it all the noise about this movie. Everything is so boring about it, the story, the situations, the characters, the concept of love and fidelity, everything bothered me. Why all the characters have to shout their lines? People are not deaf, they can hear just fine, but after this movie you might get deaf for a moment. Every single scene has a cry, a shout, an argument, and so in the spirit of the characters I shouted a little bit in some parts to see if there's anything special about the act of shouting. Well, I laughed and keep thinking "This movies is boring me" and stuff like that. Woody Allen's "Husbands and Wives" was better than this, and "The Broken Hearts Club" was way better than this. What they have in common? Both movies are about the difficult in maintain a love relationship, infidelities, and both know how to mix comedy and drama with a great ensemble cast and characters, something the Italian film failed poorly. I mean, all these characters trying to find a meaning for their lives by running away from their wives and girlfriends, cheating with younger girls or dating more than one at a time, this whole immaturity thing that this guys had, all of this disenchanted me from the movie.Real people lives are enough filled with doubts, fears, love or angry, many questions and few answers, and when a movie doesn't know how to copy that and at least entertain you, and instead leaves you thinking about your own problems cause you can't care anymore for the characters it means that the so-called movie was bad. The scene where the main character discovered that his wife knew about his affair with someone, he was desperate and all trying to lie to her and I was like "You know what? That's his problem, he's gotta find a way to solve it because I don't care". No sense of identification with him and any other characters at all. I can't think of more reasons why I didn't enjoyed this thing. Thumbs Down! 3/10

Warning: Ending revealed & discussed.I enjoy foreign films and prefer original movies to their remakes. I really dislike when foreign films are remade for American audiences and changed (usually sugarcoated, with a happy ending tacked on). I loathe this need to pander to our sentimentalism and our refusal to accept more "realistic" films.However, after seeing this film, I'm curious to see the American remake of this film to see if it's sensibilities are more in line with my tastes. Maybe I'm being unrealistic in thinking American guys wouldn't have quite the same reactions.I was looking forward to these 30-something characters exploring/struggling with what it meant to be in a relationship. However I didn't like any of the characters. The women barely existed except as foils for the male characters. They were one-dimensional. All of them were portrayed as wanting nothing more than a marriage and kids. They were shown as jealous, shrew-like and clingy/dependent. The men on the other hand (with one happily married exception who was barely shown, and one unhappily obsessed w/ his ex) were shown as feeling trapped by women/relationships. I really disliked the main storyline of the guy who is about to have a child with his girlfriend and yet suddenly decides he needs to screw a high school student. I was even more mad the way the film let him have his cake and eat it too. In effect the film said it was OK to cheat on your pregnant girlfriend because if you really apologize she'll take you back. I don't feel like he felt guilty for the act. He was just sorry he got caught. I don't feel that he learned anything from the experience. Nor did I feel is he unlikely to do it again.I was sad that his girlfriend took him back. She admits he killed her love/trust and that it would never be the same. I was even sadder at the end that (to me) seemed to imply she was going to cheat on him too.I thought the film was going to be about finding contentment in a monogamous relationship - to show that it's OK to give up "the chase", the desire for others because the committed relationship would be a more rewarding experience than a series of one-night stands. (This is not to say it also can't show that people can be perfectly happy as single and free -- I had no problem with the dread-locked guy who openly admitted he was just in it for sex). Instead it showed relationships/marriage as suffocating and unhappy for both parties. It showed that straying out side the relationship seemed to be normal (at least for the men).I wasn't asking for ALL the characters to be blissfully happy and not have any doubts - or for everyone to feel they needed to be in a relationship. (clearly the obsessed guy needed to learn to be on his own.) I was merely hoping for a exploration of both sexes dealing with these doubts and issues - and I feel what I got was one-sided and very biased towards a particular conclusion. I'll admit I was biased too -I'd hoped for a ending that showed the people in a relationship as seeing that giving up others for a committed relationship is worth it. Instead I feel like I got the reverse. Perhaps it's my fault for coming with certain expectations.I simply couldn't relate to any of them (being in the same age, having entered a long term relationships, thinking about these issues) - I'd really hoped it would resonate and make me think. Instead I found it rather depressing and disheartening.And while I hate to stereotype, I'm sort of hoping that was an Italian mentality that would not translate to a different culture's version of this film/these issues. So I'm going to break my cardinal rule of not seeing remakes and watch the American version called "Last Kiss" to see if it plays out in the same manner.

Let's not fool ourselves. This movie is a male chauvinistic one. And not wonder it is written and direct by a man (an a male chauvinistic one!). Some other commenter (from Brazil - another guy-commented on the nice ladies in the movie... Of course the ladies are nice in the movie! is part of the chauvinistic point of view: WOMEN are bait for the eyes. Because it is a movie for guys, it clearly represents the point of view of GUYS. See? Every woman in this movie wants a relationship, wants to "trap" man (this is the angle in which it is played out). Notice for example the never ending line of bed partners the corn-row guy has. Notice that they ALL think it is for "real" when it is for him no more than a one night stand. The same repeats again with ALL the women that go to bed with him, so the film HAS A point and a very clear point of view on women, that it is "exposed" at that time. The same sub-theme happens with the main couple: He is as responsible as her for the kid they are expecting, but HEY! HE Is the one that feels TRAPPED. ALL THIS MOVIE is about MEN feeling TRAPPED, and the WOMAN that "PRESSURE" THEM. I understand it tries to be "dissimulated" and "fair" but it cannot hide its real, chauvinistic point of view.THE END represents the point of view of the typical MALE CHAUVINIST mind: Trust me, these are men I have met all my life (I come from a machist country in Latinoamerica!) - Many of these men think that women are "zorras" - translate as the word B****, so their believes are:a) Women want to use you and exploit you. They are demanding. They talk all the time and never shut up. b) They are all b****es, if you let them out of your sight, they will go around with another guy. So the end ILLUSTRATES that point: "THat women demand of men, until they become "castrated" (stay at home with baby - devote himself to the family) and then they go out and f*** around because they are not trustable". ------------- I know that there are some "latin" men that do not think like that, so don't start posting things against this email, but this movie illustrates THE WORST of the masculine view on marriage, commitment, fatherhood, women, etc. These are "poor exploited guys" who are fighting to be free, and they are AGAINST their fathers/uncles (illustrated by another character) because these older men are the ones that "settled" (not that they CHOSE IT CAUSE THEY LIKED THIS LIFE) - so at the end of the movie, these young men, that did not want to be "like their elders and settle, those who wanted to be free" finally HAVE TO "settle" as well". Is married life and fatherhood what they really want to do? We don't know, they just "settle", as it said at the end of the movie, very clearly... the message is "maybe settling is not that bad - we gave up our REAL dreams" (Escape - have an infatuation with a young and sexy woman, etc)And the end is clear: She castrated you now she will go sleep around... isn't that typical machist? This movie SUCKS!

Great for Italian speakers and those who do not know the language. This film captures the authentic Italian "way" while making you laugh. I think if you will enjoy this film regardless of age or gender (although I suggest it for people who are at least 17). On a more wistful note, Ultimo Bacio allows you to contemplate how the characters and storyline relate to your own life. Raises the challenges that we face when we love - the conflict that we feel. The movie skillfully addresses the struggle between responsibility to self and others, doing what is right and expected vs. doing what one wants and thinks will make him/her happy. Fast-paced cuts from one scene to another make the film easy to watch while keeping your attention. You will love this film! Fantastico!
