Kissing Jessica Stein Reviews
Just one of the greatest hidden gems ever!! How could anyone not love this movie?
This is a very engaging relationship movie. I enjoyed it, and it felt real.
The lead character's neuroses are never endearing at any point . . . and neither is this movie. Avoid with extreme prejudice.
It's that kind of movie that at the end I have to ask myself: did I see it before? So the cases are two. One: I did and I cannot even remember it (so it is very forgettable). Two: I did not, but it felt like I did (so does not bring anything new to me). So it does not matter, because at the end I have to give a low mark to it (and try to avoid it's vision for the 3rd time)
I appreciate the story going beyond the honeymoon phase of the relationship. We get to see the main character grow even more.
Cute show but the script needed a little work and the directing was weak. I could have really enjoyed this movie if the scenes weren't so harried.
I saw this originally a long time ago. I have since seen Jessica Westfelt's other movie Friends with Kids. I have a real appreciation for the creative writing in the cliche filled world of the romantic comedy.
This movie makes me wax nostalgic for my old hometown of New York City since much of it is shot on location.
the trailer makes this film seem like a romantic comedy, but also subtly lets you know how it's all going to end. it's not funny in the slightest, and is okay most of the way through the film but the ending ruins the entire thing, i was extremely disappointed with the way this film has made lesbian relationships seem, and it's also kindof homophobic in a way because it's saying that gay relationships are based purely on sex and for a straight woman to turn to another woman for love is her last option when she can't find the right man, but actually that straight woman is just going through a phase and isn't sexually attracted to women and will go back to a man in the end. it makes out as though the gay community are sexually frustrated and can't hold down a happy relationship. watching it in 2014, this film is way behind times with it's views on homosexuality/bisexuality, and it a generally terrible film. badly made, badly written, unfunny, not sexy in the slightest, and the 2 main actresses are so awkward with one another their 'relationship' seems like a joke. 0.5/5 stars. i never want to watch this film again.
3/5 --- An almost too quirky movie about love/relationships and how it can come unexpectedly from anyone...A movie ahead of its time perhaps, and cutesy in a good but slightly annoying way. The 1st half is mostly comedy with gimmicks, the 2nd half improves with drama and a bit more believability. Love the scene of Jessica and her Mom on the bench...
The magic lies in the characters; wonderfully real. It examines the fluidity of sexuality, the meaning of love, and the power of family and friends. It is a brief and wonderful window into another life.
I really like Jennifer Westfeldt's writing style and the neurotic characters she plays. This movie helps affirm what I've always believed in - love is a spectrum.
it annoyed me that the girl ended up with the chauvinist man. the main character did my head in and so did the pushy Jewish mothers. drop kick them all!
The cast is wonderful and the story is commendably free of the sectarian us-versus-them tone of many romantic gay movies.
