Editorial Reviews

This so-so romance is patently predictable. Will the good girl end up with the bad boy or the nice guy? The premise would have us believe that a sleazy, none-too-bright sportscaster (David Schwimmer) has fallen madly in love with a classy, intelligent book editor (Mili Avital). To test her loyalty, Schwimmer asks his best buddy (Jason Lee) to romance Avital.

The likable aspects of this tired triangle concern the wraparound narration, featuring the ever-humorous Bonnie Hunt. She relates this complicated romance to rapt guests at a wedding. The marriage in question is between Avital and a supposed mystery man. The problem is that there is never much of a mystery. Or much of a romance. --Rochelle O'Gorman

5.0 out of 5 stars Most underrated movie I've seen., July 21, 1999

This review is from: Kissing a Fool (DVD)

I first saw this movie because I liked Jason Lee's acting in Chasing Amy. While that is a good reason to see it, the movie provides much more. Schwimmer gets to play a role that is the complete opposite of Ross, his character on "Friends." I also agree with other reviewers in that this movie has some of the funniest one-liners I've heard in a long time. Just give it a chance. The bad reviews for this movie usually come from an older crowd. This movie is obviously for a younger audience; people 18 to 30 years old.

This review is from: Kissing a Fool (DVD)

This is an absolute treasure of a romantic comedy in which you are sure to love. David Schwimmer is hilarious while portraying his male chauvinist character to perfection. Jason Lee does an outstanding job of playing his best friend, the guy who is asked to hit on Schwimmer's fiance. This twisted comedy is sure to leave your sides hurting. Buy it, trust me, you'll love it.

This review is from: Kissing a Fool (DVD)

This movie, hands down, is worth owning. You have a breakout performance by Jason Lee and an always solid second lead by Friends' David Schwimmer. Most importantly, this movie has very clever and well written dialogue regarding a circle of late 20 somethings in 1990's Chicago who are living the ups and downs of single dating life. You have humor, wit, unexpected lover drama and all around good cinema. This movie keeps your attention from the getgo, does not let go--based on its story telling style. I'm in my early 30's and love this film, my girlfriend is mid-20's and loves this film. And yes, even my 63 year old parents thought this film was particularly captivating over a recent family holiday weekend. Buy it. Watch it once a year. It gets better with each viewing.
