How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This film is incredibly moving its also very funny in parts and can have u both laughing and crying within the same minute. Gerard Butler's performance stands out a mile and truly shows his natural talent. Yes he's absolutely gorgeous but there is so much more than his beauty, he is one of those rare finds we seldom get to see these days, a real actor who can play any part, from Phantom of the opera,(singing beautifully) gangster, comedy parts, hero, everyday bloke, he changes his appearance, accent, weight, a real De Niro in essence, we need to see more of him and i do hope that he gets the recognition he deserves asap. I wish him the very best in his life and career.

I watched it because Gerard Butler was in it, but I thought the movie was terrible. Sara deserted Sam seven years earlier. It was selfish and cruel of her to come back and destroy his marriage. Charlotte put it best when she told Sam that Sara did not care anything about him when she was healthy. Charlotte loved and married Sam in good faith. If Sam was still in love with Sara, then he should never have married Charlotte. Sam betrayed Charlotte and his marriage when he pushed Charlotte aside to be with Sara. Sam got what he deserved in the end when he came home after the funeral to find his belongings packed and set outside his door. Sara had left Sam alone and broken hearted seven years earlier and came back to leave him alone and broken hearted again. Sara was a very unsympathetic character, Sam was a fool, and Charlotte should have kicked Sam out a lot earlier in the movie.

One More Kiss has beautiful cinematography, a lovely score, an interesting premise, and a badly cast role - Sarah (Valerie Edmund).From our first shot of her on the rooftop with arms outstretched, no matter what the cameraman and director do, they cannot make this into a woman who looks like she is sick, let alone dying. She is too big, strong and healthy. So I cannot feel her pain, sorrow and desperation. In fact, I feel nothing, and that is bad for the role and the movie.On the other hand, the actress playing the wife, Charlotte (Valerie Gogan) is perfect at showing the panic, resentment and eventual hatred of this interloper in her life. From the very first time she sets eyes on Sarah - in her husband Sams' (Gerard Butler) embrace, even just a friendly one - she is threatened. (As I would have been; confess would YOU come into a room and see your husband with his arms around another woman as just another day at the office?) When Sam introduces them, he even hesitates before he says "my wife." What a slap in the face.Maybe I'm not seeing the romance in this situation. When Sarah announces she is dying, Sam is nonplussed; Charlotte sees trouble. In the real world, right then I would have said, "sorry to hear that and WE will help if WE can. But that's not this movie.So we have THE LIST for Sam it get through. Which is just a device to be able for Sarah to manipulate Sam into kindling a romance again. And all the singing together, skydiving and kite-flying and lush background music doesn't make it anything but what it is - seduction of another woman's husband. Leading to predictable harsh words, fights and tears. But Charlotte loves this man; she hugs his jacket and breathes in his smell; and cries in pain.Meanwhile, we have brave (?) Sarah planning her funeral down to what will be served at the afterparty! I know this is to show her bravery, but I wanted to tell Sam to run out of that house - he is being manipulated. As is her father. Sarah may not be around much longer, but by God, everyone will remember her! Too harsh? Why does she show up at the restaurant just before Sam is to go meet his wife? Didn't know about the concert? Cummon. His birthday! - she knew. And she didn't care. It was all about her - what she wanted.And that brings us to the most emotionally satisfying scenes in the film with the most beautiful music - Charlotte in her lovely dress, hair just right, sitting and waiting, waiting, waiting for her love and he never comes. I DO feel HER pain.Where is Sam? Why getting it on with his other love. Sorry I'm underwhelmed.The last scenes in the hospital are done well, and Gerry is at his most beautiful and touching. He almost redeems the whole film right there. But not quite, for me at least.Sarah's father, played by James Cosmo, is very good and the part is to underscore the theme of the film - choices we make that alter life.Try as I might I just cannot see that the choice to break up your marriage (even if not perfect) for a few weeks of what? bliss? great sex? is worth ruining anothers life and possible your own. The only one who ends satisfied is the interloper who we are to feel sorry for, and I just can't do it.And, of course, she is gone and I suppose, rests in peace.Rated 6/10.

I watched the movie because I am a huge fan of Gerard Butler. I disagree with some comments about the movie--that Sara was being selfish. When Sam came to see her the 1st time, she did tell him to go away--she respected the fact he was married. But he kept coming back. I thinkCharlotte was the selfish one! I just don't understand that kind of jealousy. If my husband was dear friends with someone and wanted to be there for her while she was dying, I would love him all the more forit. And I would also be there for her, for them both. We would love her to death, in a good way. I didn't get the end. Did Charlotte really pack Sam's bags and leave them at the door or what? I don't know. It left me hanging there in confusion. I am glad Frank opened up and found a more active life because of Sara's helping him handle her dying. I missed captioning...hard of hearing & accents are difficult. I know I will watch it again and again because I love Gerry. He is a brilliant actor, very expressive with facial expressions and emotional acting--not overdone. I came to love Sara and saw what Sam and Frank saw in her. It's so true that the dying seem to have a mission to teach us sleep-walkers something. I worked in hospice and saw that dying isnot some horrible fearful thing, but can be a beautiful part of the cycle of life offering everyone an opportunity to share and love and live more fully. I didn't see the one last kiss. Where was that? (And I think it was tragic that Sara died "too soon" because of going for the surgery. I don't know if I'd attempt to that...wanting to live fully right up to the last minute. Oh well, to each his own, live and learn.
