Hey,
I watched the Last Kiss on HBO and for me Jacinda Barret took a so-so film and made it into something special.
It brought back memories that were 25 years old. I lived with the same girl (Barbara) for several years, but refused to married her and I certainly did not want kids. Barbara at the time was a beautiful girl and in many ways uncanny resemblance to Jacinda, with not only her looks, but her mannerisms and even her demeanor. Anyway she caught me fooling around on her. She dumped me. At first, I could care less because it gave me a chance to play the field. The problem was when I was with another girl I couldn't help but think Barbara and wished I was really with her instead. I realized than that I made a horrible mistake and I begged her to take me back but to no avail. She wanted nothing more to do with an uncommitted loser like me!
The Last Kiss, for me went back into time. The scene Jenna went to the house to consul a grieving friend where Chris couldn't lie to Jenna was incredible. The realism in that short scene was some of the best acting I had ever seen. Jenna is so sweet and somber and than going innocently into the kitchen to get some info from Chris on Michael's whereabouts. The way the camera runs after her. The way she turns to her cell phone to find answers. The dramatic change in Jenna's facial features, especially in her eyes, tells the whole story. The dialog is excellent and she pulls it off. When Jenna says "who is he with right now"? It is so real, so believable that you could literally see all that pain crashing down on her.
The following scenes with Michael are equally spectacular. Jacinda shines throughout the movie and turns a 2 star film into a four star.
Back to Barbara and me I had totally given up on her coming back to me. I was getting ready to move out of state and called one of her friends and ask if one of my friends could come by Barbara's and pickup a couple family keepsakes of mine so he could mail them to me after I get settled in. The day I before I was leaving I was so depress because I was sure I would never see Barbara again. I remember getting on my knees, resting my head and hands on a couch and began to weeping like a baby (new to me because I hadn't cried once since I was 10). I than began to pray (this was also new to me since I was a professing atheist). I simply said "Jesus save me".
That night Barbara called me
We have four wonderful sons that any father would be so proud of. I still love her so much! I also believe in miracles and forgiveness.
I cannot say enough about Jacinda's outstanding performance.
