The Last Kiss (2006)
Romantic comedy from the writer of Crash, starring Zach Braff (Garden State), Jacinda Barrett (School for Scoundrels) and Casey Affleck (Ocean's Eleven). Remake of Gabriele Muccino's 2001 Italian film L'ultimo bacio.
Whiny, angsty, Michael (Braff), is an architect afraid to settle down with his wife Jenna (Barrett). When Jenna informs him that they're going to be parents, Michael goes into complete panic mode and makes a boneheaded move involving a rather forward college co-ed (OCs Rachel Bilson) that puts their future in serious jeopardy.

pressDirector Tony Goldwyn tries for the lyrical melancholy, but as Michael waits for days on Jenna's porch getting drenched (as irritating a scene as any in recent cinema), only the most rabid chick-flick fan will fail to notice that it's the movie that's all wet...
Hollywood Reporter
pressIn some ways an extension of his "Garden State" persona, Braff's Michael takes a risk as an affable actor putting himself in a potentially unflattering light and comes off with his big screen credibility firmly intact...
