Title: Another Awful American Remake
Review: Thanks to a superb cast and good director, the 2001 Italian romantic comedy "The Last Kiss", about a quartet of 29-year-old male friends struggling with the responsibilities of grown-up relationships, managed to strike a balance between comedy and drama and between the flaws and virtues of all characters. The American remake fails to strike that balance and the characters are so poorly developed (or badly redone) that all the people come across as dumb jerks. Zach Braff, good in "Scrubs," shows he has limited range as an actor and Tony Goldwyn has even more limited abilities as director. Do yourself a favor: see the Italian original. This remake sucks out all the charm of that movie, ruins all the characters and plotlines and tops it off with a new ridiculous ending.
