Originariamente i protagonisti dovevano essere Kim Rossi Stuart e Claudia Pandolfi, ma sia l'uno che l'altra rifiutarono e il regista scelse Accorsi e la Mezzogiorno fra i quali in quel periodo era in corso una relazione anche nella vita reale. Nel film del 1990 Pierino torna a scuola, il protagonista e un suo compagno di classe assistono in una piazza di Roma alle riprese di un film chiamato proprio L'ultimo bacio. It must be a generational thing. The Last Kiss, a tale of thirtysomething males dithering between responsibility and the open road, is a likeable but fragile film, with little emotional depth. Very much of its time and place, the film is a superficial paean to Muccino's superficial contemporaries: the clean-shaven, financially buoyant, recreational-drug-using, mobile-phone-dependent generation of 30-year-olds which inhabit the smarter suburbs of metropolitan Italy at the beginning of the new millennium. There is a light comic touch about some of the dialogue, but Muccino labours rather too much to create plot mirrors and character contrasts. His story mechanics are in such need of oiling: we can practically hear the cogs squeaking. Muccino's prowling, restless camera and insistence on underscoring every scene with lush mood music are annoying embellishments, and he could have tied up the various plot strands with less indulgence. Still, this is an intelligent and dark-edged romantic comedy that offers a bracing antidote to Love Actually's treacly sentiment.

The last Kiss is a film about the stories of eight main characters, whose lives connect in rhythmic and parallel passions. They are all different ages: Francesca is eighteen and during the film she falls in love with Carlo, who is now thirty – like his friends Adriano, Alberto and Marco. Marco, in turn, is with 27-year old Giulia, the romantic and idealistic mother of his unborn son. Giulia’s mother Anna, now in her fifties, with twenty-nine years of marriage behind her and a great fear of aging, is coming to accept the end of her youth. international title:The actors in L'ultimo bacio give a memorable performance, especially Stefano Accorsi, who is at his charming best as Carlo. Giovanna Mezzogiorno portrays Giulia and brings depth and emotion to the character. Stefania Sandrelli plays Giulia's mother, who's going through her own set of troubles, with great honesty and humor. Personalmente ho qualche dubbio sui sequel. Soprattutto per un film come L'ultimo bacio che è rimasto così profondamente radicato nell'immaginario collettivo. Quando mi hanno parlato di un seguito ho avuto subito qualche dubbio. Ma avendo una grandissima stima per Gabriele Muccino ho chiesto di leggere un trattamento del film, perché mi sembra professionale conoscere la storia. Purtroppo quello che ho letto non mi ha convinto: non mi è piaciuto lo sviluppo del mio personaggio»

I nomi di Carlo e Giulia ricorrono anche in un altro film di Muccino, Ricordati di me del 2003, medesimi nomi adottati da Marco Risi nel 1985, per i protagonisti del suo film Colpo di fulmine. Il film ha incassato 13 milioni di euro al botteghino (dati Cinetel), rimanendo per ben sei mesi nelle sale cinematografiche, fatto che nel cinema italiano non avveniva da tempo. Nel 2002 il film ottiene un buon successo anche all'estero, in particolare in Europa. Distribuito anche negli Stati Uniti durante l'estate successiva, è inserito dalla celebre rivista di cinema Entertainment Weekly tra i dieci migliori titoli dell'anno.

The Last Kiss ( Italian: L'ultimo bacio [ˈlultimo ˈbaːtʃo]) is a 2001 Italian comedy-drama film written and directed by Gabriele Muccino. Giulia ( Giovanna Mezzogiorno) and Carlo ( Stefano Accorsi) have been happy together for three years, but Giulia's announcement that she is pregnant sends him into a secret panic. Terrified at his imminent entry into the adult world of irreversible responsibilities, Carlo finds himself tempted by a bewitching 18-year-old girl, Francesca ( Martina Stella), whom he meets by chance at a wedding. The possibility of one last youthful crazy fling before the impending prison of parenthood proves to be too attractive to resist. Il film avrebbe dovuto intitolarsi Non sono pensieri carini, ma il compositore della colonna sonora Paolo Buonvino fece ascoltare a Muccino un brano che stava arrangiando per Carmen Consoli, sua concittadina. Muccino volle subito adottarlo come tema del film e utilizzarne il titolo ( L'ultimo bacio, appunto) come titolo del film.

L'ultimo bacio è un film del 2001 scritto e diretto da Gabriele Muccino, con Stefano Accorsi, Giovanna Mezzogiorno, Stefania Sandrelli e Martina Stella nella sua prima apparizione cinematografica. The film's motto is voiced by one of the characters: "We're not 20 anymore; but we're not 40 yet either, thank God." (Hey guys - it's really not that bad). In a sanitised upscale Roman suburb that would not look out of place in a TV ice-cream advert, Carlo (Stefano Accorsi, who made his name in a TV ice-cream advert) is getting cold feet. His girlfriend Giulia (rising diva Giovanna Mezzogiorno, who is Accorsi's real-life partner) is pregnant, and Carlo's just met a much younger girl at a party. His male friends are not much help: one already has a kid, and feels trapped; another is driven to distraction by a crumbling relationship and his family's expectation that he will take over his ailing father's religious souvenir business; a third is enviably single.

their own responsibilities by buying a camper van and running off to Africa - a proposition almost as tempting as the beautiful teenager Francesca (Martina Stella).

I pointed out the structural similarity to Paul Thomas Anderson's 1999 masterpiece, 'Magnolia'. However, there is more than just a passing resemblance. 'The Last Kiss' is obviously inspired by it's predecessor. It looks and sounds a great deal like that classic. The camera movement is energetic and dynamic. There are a ton of complex 'steadicam' scenes. The score is that anticipatory and frenetic string ensemble that allows us to flow from moment to moment as the editing shifts us from one storyline to another. In fact, the scores are so similar that I initially thought it had been borrowed. The way I see things, if you are going to emulate a film, you can't do much better than emulating 'Magnolia'. L'ultimo bacio, a romantic comedy drama film released in 2001, directed by Gabriele Muccino, has been one of the most popular and appreciated films of Italian cinema. The film stars Stefano Accorsi, Giovanna Mezzogiorno, and Stefania Sandrelli in lead roles. The story of L'ultimo bacio revolves around Carlo, a thirty-year-old man who is going through a midlife crisis. He has a steady job and girlfriend Giulia who loves him too, but despite his seemingly comfortable life, he feels like he is missing out on something. He is not happy with the prospect of soon becoming a father, and can't shake the feeling that his youth is slipping away. A quasi dieci anni dall'uscita del film che ne ha decretato il successo a livello nazionale ed europeo, nella primavera del 2009 sono iniziate le riprese di Baciami ancora, sequel del film. Il film è uscito il 29 gennaio 2010. Nel cast sono stati riconfermati Pierfrancesco Favino, Claudio Santamaria, Stefano Accorsi, Giorgio Pasotti, Sabrina Impacciatore, Marco Cocci e Daniela Piazza.
