But then again, I may be looking too deeply into this. Jenna is talking about a pain that she experienced, when she was younger, as she was let into the room to say goodbye to her grandmother who had passed away. She said she had the same feeling at that moment. She then lets Micheal into the house to have the LAST KISS goodbye...because they, as a couple, were now dead to her as well.

You can get “rush” tickets for around $32 at the box office in advance, but here’s the catch, your seats will be ON the stage. It should be noted, you might not want to bring mom and dad to it without some serious disclosure of the subject matter…er and as a matter of fact, it’s not a date play at all. It’s The Last Kiss of musical theater, if you will.

I haven't seen the movie yet so I don't really know...but...mmm Surely it would be a good one to watch with the opposite sex, especially if you were very close, as it would show how if they did such a thing as he did, the feelings between you both would probably never be the same again?

She didn't let him in when he they could go back to the way things were but she opened the door when he said we could start new. they just may never get back. the intimacy that they had will take a long time to get back, if ever.

The mother of his child, though, is overboard, yes a freak, if she dumps him at knifepoint for kissing another girl. When 3 years' worth of good faith is built up, I think a second chance is the right thing to do. But, yeah, the movie's ambition is just to pose the question. Excellent point about the ambiguity of the ending. We indeed do not know if she actually takes him back (people behind me made the same observation). Carry on... Michael’s actions are indefensible.

Call me crazy, but if you're girlfriend is pregnant with your child, i would think the sleeziest thing you could do would be to sleep with another woman. TAKE THAT, BILLY CRUDUP! Oh, and how do you know for sure that she takes him back in the end? She just lets him in the house... that doesn't mean it all ends happily ever after. maybe that's not "everything it takes". Oh and he SHOULD get pneumonia for what he did to her. [SPOILERS]

Any movie that makes you walk away with the sinking feeling that even the GOOD guys can be assholes, is not a movie that's going to facilitate sex. 2) How did we get "righteous freak" out of a girl whose supposedly adoring boyfriend of 3 years sleeps with another woman while she's 3 months pregnant ? "Righteous indignation" maybe, "righteous freak"? not so much. And for the record? No. Second chances are a privilege, not a birthright. [SPOILERS]

He’s a cad, but she’s a righteous freak.
