Reviews for Kissing Jessica Stein
What neither the trailers nor the newspaper features written about Kissing Jessica Stein will have prepared you for is quite how funny it is.
02/03/09
The cast is wonderful and the story is commendably free of the sectarian us-versus-them tone of many romantic gay movies.

Top CriticDirector Charles Herman-Wurmfeld's movie knows what it wants, what its limits are, and delivers its delights accordingly.

Top CriticPure pleasure.
07/25/08
Top CriticWestfeldt and Juergensen's wordy script tries for both mainstream and offbeat, but gets lost in between.
02/09/06
Three years of writing, rehearsing, and performing Jessica together helped develop the film organically for Westfeldt and Juergensen.
12/06/05
Funny, sweet, and intelligent.
09/30/05
Westfeldt and Juergensen are both appealing actresses.

Top CriticEsta baboseira com pretensőes intelectuais possui um roteiro (escrito pelas duas protagonistas) cheio de absurdos e um vocabulário rebuscado que denuncia sua própria arrogância.

An indie romantic comedy that never makes it past first base.

This charming, thought-provoking New York fest of life and love has its rewards.

I'd be interested to see these women star in another movie, but I'm not crossing my fingers that they write another one.
01/10/03
Venturesome yet unthreatening, this movie is box-office smart enough to seem cutting-edge without ever drawing blood.
11/05/02
Top CriticSmart and sassy, Kissing Jessica Stein is a warm and playful romantic comedy where sexuality plays as large a role as any leading character.
11/02/02
Enjoyable, New York-set ‘bi-try’ romantic comedy with a sharp script and sweet performances by its two leads.
10/30/02
'Divertida, enternecedora, universal y profundamente sincera, es una de las mejores comedias románticas en mucho tiempo. Una verdadera delicia.'
10/29/02
If you're Jewish, female, gay, straight, and/or like to laugh, see this film.
10/21/02
Kissing Jessica Stein no es sólo una comedia simplista y socarrona; es un producto inteligente, incisivo, culto, reflexivo.
10/18/02
The story and the storytelling has a literary feel in both the best and worst ways.
