Clerks 2 was previously named “Movie of the Year” by yours truely. But I think that I should edit that and move it down to second place. As genius of a movie as it is, it has been replaced in my eyes by a wonderful film that brought thoughts and feelings out of me that movies generally don’t dare touch.
Not many will agree with me on this one, and well, “Last Kiss” is a movie that targets quite a specific audience. I just happen to fall exactly inside the target and it really hit home for me. Being 29 and on the verge of making important decisions - while trying to hang onto your younger life - can create some massive confusion and even heartache.
Each person in this movie goes through experiences that I can relate to. The overall message of the film? In my opinion, it was do whatever it takes. You need to make yourself happy before you can make anyone else truely happy. Do whatever it takes, don’t give up and always be honest.
Quite an emotional and powerful ride. “Last Kiss” means a lot to me and has moved up to my #1 spot for this year.
Everyone have a wonderful day.
