Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

An alarming male wallow passing as a fetching date-night dramedy in which four men entering their fourth decade respond with lunkheaded awfulness to the mysteries of women, each in his own lunkish way.

... sometimes feels like an entire season of a television series crammed into less than two hours, full of activity, but lacking shape.

... the movie occasionally reveals truths about relationships that, while not earth-shattering, are nonetheless entertaining and worth considering.

Desson Thomson Washington Post (Top Critic)

... what makes The Last Kiss especially satisfying is its vision of love as the soul of partnership -- rather than the crack high known as romance -- and something worth fighting for.

As with Garden State and Elizabethtown, The Last Kiss is an iPod playlist in search of a movie, and what it loses in honest drama it will surely make up for in sales of the CD.

For all the hurting and hollering, The Last Kiss rarely pushes its emotions from scripted to authentic.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

... Paul Haggis has turned the Italian romantic comedy L'Ultimo Bacio (2001) into something smarter, funnier, and more penetrating.

... it would be nice to have some insight, and some artistry, along with the same old same old. The Last Kiss dispenses none of that.

If you're going to take viewers down a familiar path, you'd better make sure the trip is led by intriguing characters. Give the makers of this comedy-drama credit for that.

... The Last Kiss is a simple movie, but it should spark a great many conversations between couples leading to potentially dangerous territory.

An old tale, to be sure, but The Last Kiss doesn't feel tired.

Lisa Nesselson Variety (Top Critic)

Situational humor is structurally sound, and yet the aggregate result of all this Sturm und Drang is more distancing than involving.

... a middling remake of a mediocre Italian comedy pandering to the chick-flick crowd ...

[Braff] and the women of The Last Kiss give it weight, heart and smarts.

It's easy to see from the above that The Last Kiss is a movie scripted from a male point of view to capture that elusive young male demographic.

... credible resolutions aren't [Haggis'] strongest suit.

Andrew O'Hehir Salon.com (Top Critic)

Danner will surely win an Oscar if enough people see this film, but the real point is that her stormy, erratic gender-bender Lear performance elevates The Last Kiss above a well-made genre drama.

This is one of those movies where you're willing to overlook the flaws in order to appreciate what's worth lauding.

The first smart movie of the fall season.
