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.
02/03/09
Top CriticDirector Charles Herman-Wurmfeld's movie knows what it wants, what its limits are, and delivers its delights accordingly.
08/18/08
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.
07/21/05
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.
07/25/03
An indie romantic comedy that never makes it past first base.
03/10/03
This charming, thought-provoking New York fest of life and love has its rewards.
02/13/03
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.
