The Last Kiss is a coming of age movie that hits close to home. Zach Braff, who seems to be the new go-to guy for coming of age movies, plays a guy who is staring down the barrel of 30 and is frightened by what he sees. Michael has great friends, a pretty girlfriend (Jacinda Barrett), and a seemingly perfect life. Then he meets a beautiful girl (Rachel Bilson) who makes him question whether his predictable
life is what he really wants. Growing up is scary, dude. My unsolicited advice? Travel the world for a few months, and then be an adult.
Since I may have another quarter-life crisis while seeing The Last Kiss, but I still want to see it, I am going to Rent It.
The official site for The Last Kiss is a MySpace profile page, which I completely understand for a movie like John Tucker Must Die. But is this really the right tactic for a movie that is aiming at 30-year-olds? On MySpace, as much as it pains me to admit it, 30-year-olds are ancient.
Interestingly enough, this trailer was posted on YouTube by a user by the name of zachbraffdotcom, who linked to Zach Braff’s official site. Is Zach Braff really posting his own videos on YouTube?
I completely agree with you on the MySpace thing. The movie poster is elegant and understated and makes me really want to see the movie. Why would they sabotage that with a classless move like using MySpace for an official site? Maybe they just wanted to save a buck by using the site as a free host…
Wow - I have that same life-crisis conversation at least once a week. I know what you mean - this movie definitely hits close to home! I think it looks good - I don’t think I can wait for the rental.
P.S. I haven’t seen Jacinda since Real World London!
[…] In another example of an unusual official site, the movie’s official site is modeled to look like The Drudge Report. The U.S. vs. John Lennon is rated PG-13 and opens on September 15. […]
definitely seeing it…
