In fact, it's a remake of the Italian "L'Ultimo Bacio." Four guys, longtime best friends, all reach crisis points in their respective relationships as they approach 30. And they're all sensitive enough to express their fears and frustrations in hyperarticulate terms.

Michael (Zach Braff) is reluctant to marry his pregnant girlfriend, Jenna (Jacinda Barrett), even though she's obviously a smart, beautiful, cool woman. Fearing being tied down and longing for some surprise in his life — he's an architect, yawn — he ends up having a fling with a vivacious college student (Rachel Bilson of "The O.C." in her first big film role) he met at a wedding.

Like Natalie Portman in "Garden State," which Braff directed, wrote and starred in, Bilson's character has flashes of irresistible precociousness and does prematurely familiar things like taking his hand and placing it on her chest to feel her heart beat within minutes of meeting him.

But unlike what we've seen from Braff thus far — both in "Garden State" and on the TV series "Scrubs" — here he plays a selfish, childish cad, one whose actions are despicable and destructive and definitely not well-thought out.

Meanwhile, Michael's colleague, Chris (Casey Affleck), is thinking about leaving his wife. Another friend, Izzy (Michael Weston), is still lovesick over a recent breakup with his girlfriend. And so on.

There are some amusingly crass moments here and there. Guy stuff. But Goldwyn ("A Walk on the Moon"), directing a screenplay from Haggis (last year's big Oscar winner for "Crash"), is tonally all over the place. Too often he veers jarringly between wackiness and melodrama, between cute, intimate moments and bold sexuality.

Once Jenna discovers Michael's infidelity — because they're all horrible liars — the result is screaming and crying, slapped faces and slammed doors, followed by proclamations of love and the obligatory Coldplay song. It gets shrill and it feels like it will never end.
