“The Last Kiss”是本月15号即将在全球范围同步推出的浪漫喜剧大片,一听名字,就让许多观众按捺不住好奇的心。虽然还没有上映,媒体舆论界一致看好。竞学网影视英语频道带你先一睹为快。
“The Last Kiss” is a contemporary comedy-drama about life, love, infidelity, forgiveness, marriage, friendship…and coming to grips with turning 30. 

Parenthood stirs up a wealth of mixed emotions in this drama from Italy. Carlo and最后的吻:三十而立体验人生苦涩 Giulia are a couple in their late twenties who realize they've crossed the final threshold into adulthood1 when Giulia discovers she's going to have a baby. Even though Carlo has already settled down, he sees parenthood as the first step towards becoming the sort of middle-class suburbanite2 he's never respected, and he's not happy about it.

Carlo's friends are also having mixed feelings about the onset3 of maturity4: Adriano freaks out when Livia decides they should buy a house. So of course he decides to sabotage5 his relationship by flirting6 with a slightly younger but no less hot girl. His idiocy7 results in possibly losing both women.

Paolo  is trying to find a way out of going into business with his father, and Alberto seems to be waging a one-man war against monogamy by seducing8 as many women as possible.

Meanwhile, Giulia is having her own misgivings9 about parenthood, and her mother Anna  is torn between happiness for her daughter and dread10 that she's now old enough to be a grandmother; Anna's malaise isn't eased by the lack of compassion11 shown by her husband.
