Kissing A Fool Review By: Ryan Davis 3/02/98
What would happen if you best friend sleeps with your fiancée? Would it make any difference if you asked him too? That's what this new independent film from second time director Doug Ellin is about.
Jay(Jason Lee), a depressed young writer, introduces his editor, Sam(Mili Avital), to his best friend Max Abbott(David Schwimmer). Max and Sam hit it off and are engages about two weeks later. Max, worried that Sam will cheat on him, ask Jay to "test" her loyalty. Jay doesn't agree but when Max goes out of town, Jay falls in love with Sam.
The script is rather funny but the movie just doesn't fly. The actors are believable and likable in their parts. Unfortunately the movie is just cute and pretty entertaining but lacks originality and creativity.
Grade: B-
