THE LAST KISS

CAROLINE: How I love a relationship movie!

RYAN: Maybe not this kind of relationship movie. This was devastating.

CAROLINE: I wouldn’t say that. I just love a relationship movie.

RYAN: So you’re happy right now, after seeing this?

CAROLINE: Yeah, I loved it.

RYAN: Loved it too, but my heart was just ripped outta my chest.

CAROLINE: Eh…

RYAN: You are a cold-hearted snake.

CAROLINE: Not really.

RYAN: You are a jaded…

CAROLINE: No! I liked the movie. I love movies about relationships.

RYAN: But movies about relationships that are failing apart left and right? Where everyone’s miserable in their relationship?

CAROLINE: Not in every case. By the way, we’re talking about “The Last Kiss.”

RYAN: And after seeing it, you may feel as though you never wanna kiss again.

CAROLINE: (laughs) Bite your tongue.

RYAN: This was an excellent film. Everyone performed well; however, it was completely intense and painful.

CAROLINE: Ok, sensitive-pants. It was a fun, -yes, tough- relationship movie. But aside from Jacinda Barrett and Zach Braff having zero chemistry, I really liked it. Everyone was great. Blythe Danner – fuhgetaboutit!

RYAN: This was the role of her lifetime. And Zach and his friends were all really cute.

CAROLINE: Comme ci-comme ca, which is French for not so much.

RYAN: And we must mention this was filmed at my alma mater, the University of Wisconsin – Madison.

CAROLINE: I’ve never been there.

RYAN: I attended college there and I loved recognizing several locations. But Jacinda’s Aussie accent crept in from time to time in this movie and it was ridonkulous!

CAROLINE: I can’t believe the director allowed that in the film. There’s one scene in particular where she’s yelling and her Australian accent comes out so badly… it was like, I can’t believe someone didn’t yell “cut” and just redo the scene.

RYAN: Oh, totally! And for the most part the rest of the cast sounded rather Midwestern so it was a shock they let that slip by.

CAROLINE: Really a huge oversight. Other than that Jacinda was pretty good, except for those two huge freckles on her chest.

RYAN: Didn’t bother me. The whole cast was pretty cute.

CAROLINE: We know virtually nothing of Rachel Bilson and she was a pleasant surprise. She was good as a saucy little temptress.

RYAN: She held her own. Each performance was strong. The soundtrack is great. And the direction was interesting and cool.

CAROLINE: Agreed. Bottom line?

RYAN: It’s a wonderful movie-going experience. You can’t help but emotionally connect. You’re present while in the audience; but, it’s heart-wrenching.

CAROLINE: I don’t know if I’d call it an excellent film. But I definitely liked it. I enjoyed the acting very much. And I thought Blythe really stood out in a few scenes. I definitely recommend this to anyone in their twenties and thirties who has ever been in a relationship… which is all of us.

RYAN: On Wisconsin!
