A-
"The Last Kiss is a picture about bad choices, and that's exactly why it should be celebrated."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

3.5/4
"...a compelling, surprisingly moving look at the ups and downs of contemporary relationships."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

C-
"The youthful leads all had a limited range of emotions."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

2/4
"Says little about growing up and relationships that hasn't been covered—and better—in virtually hundreds of other pictures on the same subjects."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

C
"The original was full of warmth, humor and poignance while the remake is full of rain clouds and navel-gazing."  eFilmCritic.com  Eric D. Snider

3.5/4
"An American drama with European sensibilities right up to an ending which on the surface feels like a grand romantic gesture but whose triumph opens up a door of far gloomier and irrevocable consequences."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

D
"Muccino's film was a deliciously surprising, high-spirited dance; Goldwyn's is a dreary dirge,...a sadly typical blend of morose relationship tale and second-rate sitcom."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/5
"Probes in a light-hearted way the problems of individuals for whom the yearning of passion spells discontent."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/4
"This is one of those movies where you're willing to overlook the flaws in order to appreciate what's worth lauding."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2.5/5
"If the characters in The Last Kiss come across as a bit too whiny, it's not because they're too young, but rather because they're too self-inflated."  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

2/4
"Imperturbable Americans who read as juvenile clowns for their inability or unwillingness to put their emotional houses in order."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

6/10
"Watching The Last Kiss feels like watching a couple going through the motions."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Jeffrey Chen

3/5
"Strong performances and interesting ideas make the film worth a gamble but it's far from the relationship classic it longs to be."  FilmFocus  Joe Utichi

1.5/5
"this movie is a mess of neurotic, selfish, deplorable people, and I really didn't care about any of them"  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

"I won't reveal how the whole situation resolves itself, only that there is a musical montage featuring Coldplay...Jacinda Barrett breaks character and speaks in an Australian accent...and some other things happen that...are always happening in movies."  Pretentious Musings  Kevin Koehler

2.5/4
"... veterans Danner and Wilkinson effortlessly make Anna and Stephen more interesting than all the youngsters combined."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

1.5/3
"De nuevo nos encontramos ante esos personajes (y una de esas películas) que nos muestran que los ricos y acomodados también tienen una vida miserable. Ja, ja."  Off-Off-Critica  MalaBesta

"Braff is an absolutely charming screen presence, and redeems a should-be hateable character..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

B-
"Braff creates a likeable character who makes some unlikeable choices. But none of the ultimate resolutions feel as satsifying as they are intended to, and Kim is as imaginary as the Bo Derek character in the similarly-themed "10.""  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

3/5
"Fazendo um bom trabalho de direção, Tony Goldwyn cria uma narrativa leve e sensível, demonstrando inteligência em momentos nos quais ilustra os problemas do protagonista de maneira sutil."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

3/5
"Entertaining and insightful, but the shift from comedy to melodrama is a bit drastic."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

C-
"The Last Kiss is the kind of film fodder best left to DVD rental, a far more economical prospect than taking it in on a Saturday night at the local multiplex."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

2.5/5
"disconnected... mundane"  MovieWeb  Sean O'Connell

4/5
