DVD Reviews of The Last Kiss (Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: For Those Who Love Us
Summary: 4 Stars
Tony Goldwyn who is a grandson of the famous Samuel Goldwyn (Metro-Goldwyn Mayer/MGM) directed this piece. I had just watched him as an actor in The Last Samurai (Two-Disc Special Edition) and recall his breakout role in "Ghost." As the director, he does a good job of keeping the film's pacing through its final frame. Paul Haggis wrote the screenplay for Crash (Widescreen Edition) & "Million Dollar Baby." He does a nice job adapting the Italian film's screenplay into English. In the DVD extras he says that the Italian film's screenplay was so good that he basically translated with only a few story modifications for English.
Michael is the lead character, a young 30s guy whose live-in girlfriend is pregnant. Zach Braff plays the character. He won an Emmy in 2005 for TV's "Scrubs" and is well remembered for the film "Garden State." I thought he did a good job mixing the comic sense with the highly intense personal confusion of the character.
His girlfriend Jenna is played by Jacinda Barrett who was in "Ladder 49" & The Human Stain.
Michael has three buddies, all of whom are going through various stages of issues about their romantic relationships. Casey Affleck plays Chris whose wife has a small boy named Matty. However, their married life is one long argument making Chris chronically unhappy. He decides to leave his marriage, but his attachment to his son is one of the joyful pieces of the film. Casey Affleck does an excellent job as Chris. Affleck's career is in high gear right now with a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford." He has already won awards for that role from the National Board of Review, the National Society of Film Critics & St. Louis Gateway Film Critics.
Michael Westson has been in Hart's War & "Dukes of Hazzard." The DVD extras tell us that he is a former roommate of Zach Braff. He does an excellent job as the unstable Izzy who cannot accept that his relationship is over.
Eric Christian Olsen who lived in Bettendorf, Iowa plays the third buddy Kenny. He was in the film Cellular (New Line Platinum Series). He plays a good looking blond guy who has wild romantic relations but spooks when confronted by commitment. His walk to the door in his birthday suit and the bear rug romance make an impression.
Rachel Bilson who was in TV's "The OC" plays the college girl Kim who capitalizes on Michael's cold feet and beds him.
Jenna's parents are played by two superlative veteran actors. In the DVD extras, Tony Goldwyn tells how he pursued Blythe Danner to play Anna. Danner was nominated for Best Supporting Actress by the Satellite Awards for the role and has won an Emmy for TV's "Huff." She is marvelous as she breaks up with her husband after failing to get him to not take her for granted. Tom Wilkinson who was nominated for Best Actor for In the Bedroom and is currently nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "Michael Clayton" plays her husband Stephen. Stephen is a counselor, but is apparently too busy to pay much attention to his wife after 30 years of marriage. It is a powerful scene when Anna picks up a glass and breaks it against the wall over their bed, tremendous with symbolism.
I thought this was a good picture, but not an easy one. All of the characters seem very real, having second thoughts or difficulties in their relationships. Finding a way through it all and appreciating the beauty in those who love us was what the film meant to me. There was a sense of wisdom in the film. The final sequences as Michael languishes on Jenna's doorstep are gloriously self-sacrificing. Enjoy!
