Zach Braff is dreamy.

Okay, let’s continue. Last night I took in the movie “The Last Kiss” with B, Nikki, Kerry and Carla (who is the only one of us without a blog… jump on the bandwagon!). I’m a big fan of Zach Braff (see above statement), of Scrubs, of the last movie I saw him in, Garden State, which he also directed. I’m also a fan of Crash, the Academy Award winning movie cco-written by Paul Haggis, who wrote this adaptation of a 2001 Spanish movie. I think Rachel Bilson, from The O.C. (which, I must admit, I’ve seen maybe half an episode), is a cutie. Thus, it seem only fair I like this movie.

And I did, for the most part. Zach plays the part of Michael, a 29 year old architect (pet peeve – the ratio of architects on TV/movies compared ot the number present in real life is way to disproportionate… why aren’t there more engineers in pop culture?) who is about to be a daddy. He lives with his girlriend/babymommy Jenna (played by Jacinda Barrett, who to me seemed almost too mature for her role), who we gather is a PhD student in something-or-other (that’s not important I guess… a commentary on the roles women play, or am I reading too much in there?), but is afraid of marriage. At a friend’s wedding he chats up a young hottie Kim (Rachel Bilson), and admits he’s in a crisis… and things play out from there. I don’t want to say too much, but you can probably guess what happens.

I think the movie deals with a lot of issues that many people my age are facing (whether they realize it or wish to admit it)right now – growing up, becoming committed (in relationships, not in the psych ward), buying property, having kids, etc. etc. when you really don’t feel old enough for it. I can definitely relate to that. Ten years ago, I figured by the time I got to where I am right now (turned 27 a week and a half ago, celebrated our second anniversary two days ago, own a house and two dogs), I’d feel more mature. I’d act more mature. But nope… most days I feel like an imposter, acting like an adult and hoping no one will catch on and ground me for a month for drinking and staying out so late.

So, I’d suggest seeing it. But it’s just as good watched curled up on the couch than in the theatre.

If anyone is interested, we can start a list of solutions…

Here it is!
