Review of The Last Kiss

I strongly urge you all to watch Gabriele Muccino's original "L'ultimo baccio" of which this film is a remake, which is largely better. I thought Zachary Braff was a miscast (his Italian alter-ego is better). Rachel Bilson, however, is lovely and very much like the rookie blond girl in the original movie (her first appearance on screen). Jacinta Barret is great. still, the Italian original movie has more strength, warmth and is an overall better movie. And then, the emotional reactions, feelings and overall personalities of all characters in the film are 100 percent Italian (and Latin, for that matter), and parts of the script seem "forced" with the burden put on Americans
