Pros: Great performances, adept handling of subject matter, and it's funny!
Cons: Some may not like the themes.
One of the most pervasive of societal tendencies is that of the artificially imposed dichotomy. The idea that people invariably fall into one of two distinct categories. These categories can be biological, political, sexual, or any of the innumerable...

Pros: good performances, great story
Cons: ending seemed rushed
The first time my husband and I attempted to see Kissing Jessica Stein when it premiered at the local indy theatre, the movie sold out half an hour before show time (though it is a small theatre with less than 50 seats). I could understand the...

by CyndiA - Top 50, Jul 21 '04
Pros: The acting is very good. The show is interesting.
Cons: I have some issues with the theme.
If you can’t find a good man, then try a woman. That seems to be the idea in Kissing Jessica Stein. The whole thing hits me a bit odd, because I’ve picked some jerks in my time but didn’t develop any attraction for females in the fall out. We’re ...

Pros: Lots of laughs, some great performances, a "cute" story ...
Cons: The ending ...
Kissing Jessica Stein came from a series of theatrical sketches (Lipschtick) developed by its stars, Jennifer Westfeldt and Heather Juergensen, on the subject of dating and the disasters that come with it. It is funny, brash, corny,...

Pros: Witty and Funny, A Great Story
Cons: Questionable Ending
I get home Friday evening after a long week and my fiancé informs me he has Kissing Jessica Stein to watch tonight. Huh? What kind of movie is that? I have never heard of it. Turns out, this movie is a hidden treasure because of the unique,...

Pros: funny, well-written, obvious chemistry between actors, intelligent.
Cons: the ending - too rushed in comparison with the rest of the film.
I should have seen this film in the theatres. It was on my 'see this weekend' list, but it kept meandering around the list, going unseen, until eventually it was out of theatres all together. After finally viewing Kissing Jessica Stein on DVD,...

Pros: cute, funny, unusual
Cons: ordinary ending, a bit superficial
Jessica Stein (Jennifer Westfeldt) is a beautiful, successful, 28-year-old, working for a magazine in Manhattan. She has a nice apartment and more than enough money to get by. However, in the eyes of her mother, Jessica is a failure because she...

Pros: enjoyable romantic comedy about same-sex relationship
Cons: That PC thing everyone is wondering about
Kissing Jessica Stein is a very romantic movie. That’s why it made such a perfect date for me and my current partner when we were just at the beginning of the long and winding road. Though this sure falls into GLBT category, I’d say the movie is ...

by DavidMac - Top 500, Oct 17 '02
Pros: interesting premise, warmth, some laughs.
Cons: The lead character could get on your nerves.
It will become clear to some people that Kissing Jessica Stein, despite the fact that most of the kissing is done by two women, was not created by a militant “gay” filmmaker. This is not a straight-bashing film, or the type of film that revels...

Pros: A bit of Jewish humor
Cons: The story line is pathetic
Plot Spoiler Warning
I am not a lesbian. But even if I were, I probably still would not like this film. "Kissing Jessica Stein" has to be one of the top ten most awful films that I have seen in the tenure of my movie watching days.

Pros: Sharp, witty, funny dialog and good acting
Cons: I can't think of any
I have this really horrible habit of buying DVD's and then not watching them. It seems like ever ...

Pros: Exudes self assurance at every level of the film process, character portrayals in particular.
Cons: cons had no significant impact.
Some call this a two-hour special episode of Will and Grace (well, hour and a half actually). I wouldn't know as I don't care much for characters who come with exclamation points (wacky! gay! trendy!). The gay men in Kissing Jessica Stein do carry over...

Pros: A funny, cute, smile-inducing romance
Cons: not enough romantic comedies like this
Poor, poor Jessica Stein. She, like many singles in ‘Urbania’ and the world in general, just wants to settle down. She is very good looking, intelligent and fun. What is her problem? She is a bit too picky. So, after going on failed date,...

by lorrie1962 , Apr 20 '03
Pros: An original, funny and thoughtful comedy.
Cons: Lead character talks too fast!
Kissing Jessica Stein is an unpredictable, funny, romantic comedy about two single women. The film stars Jennifer Westfeldt as Jessica--a single, scatterbrained, Generation X, New York journalist. Jessica's mother (played by Tovah Feldshuh) is concerned...

The story follows jessica stein, a...
