The Last Kiss

Michael seems to have it all—a solid career, a tight circle of four friends, and a life that feels steady as he turns thirty. He loves Jenna, yet a new presence disrupts the easy rhythm of his days. As temptations and doubts creep in, the film follows how each member of the group handles love, loyalty, and the uncertain road ahead. Around the table and through late night talks, their own relationship struggles surface, revealing the fragility of promises and the stubborn pull of desire. The story keeps its focus on ordinary moments and choices, showing how humor and honesty mix when commitment is tested and happiness proves elusive.

Directed by Tony Goldwyn, The Last Kiss is an American remake of Gabriele Muccino's The Last Kiss, adapted for US audiences by Paul Haggis and Muccino. It stars Zach Braff, Jacinda Barrett, Casey Affleck, Rachel Bilson, and Michael Weston. It opened in 2006, bringing an ensemble cast to a romantic drama about grown up love.

The film earned about 15,851,622 worldwide against a reported 20 million budget, marking a modest box office performance. While it attracted recognizable names, the financial take fell short of break even, underscoring its status as a midrange romantic drama. It faced competition from other romantic offerings that year.

Awards wise, The Last Kiss did not rack up major nominations from the Oscars, Golden Globes, or Emmys. It sits among the mid tier of romance dramas from its year, praised by some for its performances but not celebrated with festival prizes or wide industry recognition. No major awards were earned, and while some critics noted the performances by the leads, the film did not become a fixture in year-end lists.

Audiences gave the film a mixed response, reflected in a 6.0 out of 10 average from 395 votes. The story threads humor and heartache as characters confront fidelity, commitment, and timing in relationships, offering a portrait of late twenties and early thirties love that feels recognizable even when imperfect. Its urban setting and ensemble cast give the audience touchpoints for everyday choices and regrets.
