Title: 'Kissing' is a keeper
Review: When you say 'romantic comedy' you typically think: guy meets girl in cute way, girl and guy face obstacles, girl and guy triumph, a sweeping overture plays. Roll credits.That's not the case of 'Kissing Jessica Stein'. The Jessica in question, is actually straight. However, Helen comes into the mix after Jessica spontaneously answers Helen's 'woman seeking woman' ad, and the two have a earnest relationship that is a bit rocky at first, then soars for awhile, then comes to a halt. I won't ruin the ending, but it recieves mixed reviews. Some like it, some hate it. I personally liked it, as it shows the completion of both Helen and Jessica.The film is a delicious fusion of romantic comedy, lesbian film, Jewish wit and love. It drives forth the idea that we don't know ourselves as much as we think we do, and that love doesn't involve falling for a sex, but a person.
Is the review positive or negative?
