A quarter-life crisis isn't as rare as people would think anymore. It's likely to see someone verging on 30 beginning to panic in regards to their future. In "The Last Kiss," a remake of Gabriele Muccino's Italian "L'Ultimo Bacio," four friends approaching their 30s find their lives being thrown into chaos.

Izzy (Michael Weston) can't get over his ex Arianna (Marley Shelton). Kenny (Eric Christian Olsen) is busy having fun and sleeping around.
