For Zach Braff, star of the new film “The Last Kiss” from DreamWorks Pictures and Lakeshore Entertainment, the film seemed to be a natural progression from his role in his acclaimed film “Garden State.” “Whereas ‘Garden State´ was about being lost and confused in your mid-20s, this film is about being lost and confused as you turn 30,” says Braff. “The film is about turning a major corner in your life: settling down and starting a family, while still clutching on to everything that was free, innocent, and fun about being young.”
Tony Goldwyn, who explored similar themes in “A Walk on the Moon,” directs the film. “What we had the opportunity to do with ‘The Last Kiss´ was to make a comic drama about contemporary relationships that´s really funny, very sexy, and, most importantly, real,” enthuses Goldwyn. “The screenplay takes a refreshing and rather edgy look at the ideals we have about what we imagine we want in our life partners, how we see our lives going, and what we expect to achieve at various stages of our lives. Somehow life never quite works out like the ideal we envision. What do you do when life happens to you?”..
