The Last Kiss

         

The MM - "Italian drama with a large cast of characters but the main focus is on thirty year old Stefano Accorsi who finds out that his live in girlfriend (Giovanna Mezzogiorno) is pregnant. On the same night that Mezzogiorno informs Accorsi that she is expecting, she also tells him that the one thing he never knew about her is that she will kill him if he ever has an affair. Accorsi ignores the warning and starts a relationship with teenage beauty Martina Stella. Well acted, well written, fast paced (sometimes this creates a problem with the subtitles) and a good combination of comedy and drama but this movie is too predictable with too many peripheral stories. It also lacks imagination and although these transgressions are not major the film possesses no exceptional qualities to offset them."
