Reviews for Kissing Jessica Stein
Director Charles Herman-Wurmfeld's movie knows what it wants, what its limits are, and delivers its delights accordingly.
08/18/08
Top CriticThrows in enough clever and unexpected twists to make the formula feel fresh.
03/21/02
Though the film's scenario is certainly not earthshaking, this depiction of fluctuating female sexuality has two winning lead performances and charm to spare.
03/13/02
Westfeldt and Juergensen exude a chemistry and comfort level that's both saucy and endearing.
03/13/02
'Divertida, enternecedora, universal y profundamente sincera, es una de las mejores comedias románticas en mucho tiempo. Una verdadera delicia.'
10/29/02
It wants to be thought of as a subversive little indie film, but it has all the qualities of a modern situation comedy.
03/29/02
Without resorting to hyperbole, I can state that Kissing Jessica Stein may be the best same-sex romance I have seen.

Top CriticGay or straight, Kissing Jessica Stein is one of the greatest date movies in years.
03/13/02
This is a pleasant, sometimes very funny film which manages to explore some interesting topics.
03/22/02
A terrific date movie, whatever your orientation.
04/04/02
An entertaining, likeable comedy which has been cleverly and fluently developed from its stage origins.
07/11/02
A very witty take on change, risk and romance, and the film uses humour to make its points about acceptance and growth.
03/16/02
As a girl-meets-girl romantic comedy, Kissing Jessica Steinis quirky, charming and often hilarious. Yet it’s not quite the genre-busting film it’s been hyped to be because it plays everything too safe.
07/05/02
A frisky and fresh romantic comedy exporing sexual politics and the challenges of friendships between women.
03/15/02
Laugh-out-loud lines, adorably ditsy but heartfelt performances, and sparkling, bittersweet dialogue that cuts to the chase of the modern girl's dilemma.
03/12/02
Top CriticThe good news for Jessica and the rest of us is that Kissing Jessica Stein delivers that rare combination of winning traits.
07/20/02
Top Critica shot of espresso for the tired romantic-comedy genre
03/09/02
The film's desire to be liked sometimes undermines the possibility for an exploration of the thornier aspects of the nature/nurture argument in regards to homosexuality.
03/19/02
The Woodman seems to have directly influenced this girl-meets-girl love story, but even more reassuring is how its makers actually seem to understand what made Allen's romantic comedies so pertinent and enduring.
