Guide Review - "Kissing Jessica Stein" DVD Review
This refreshing look at sex and the single girl is a must-see romantic comedy. "Kissing Jessica Stein" is the story of Jessica Stein, a single New Yorker who's searching for love but has set the bar so high, she's unable to find a man who meets her criteria. When her co-workers read her a few interesting personal ads, Jessica's immediately attracted to one in particular. Meeting up with the ad's author should be easy however it seems this ad is in the "Women Seeking Women" section and Jessica's not sure she swings that way. The film stars real-life friends Jennifer Westfeldt and Heather Juergensen and their off-screen friendship shines through on-screen. Pick this one up if you're looking for something romantic yet totally different.
