Kissing A Fool

Now I can enjoy a romantic comedy but it helps if you at least like, at least a little bit, at least one of the characters. Kissing A Fool doesn't manage to present even one appealing character.

Even that would have been O.K. if there was something funny in Kissing A Fool, but no, no, there also isn't anything to giggle about in this movie.

David Schwimmer, (Friends on the box, The Pallbearer), plays Max, a hard nosed sports broadcaster and girl chaser, a philanderer who for some unknown reason decides that perhaps Sam (Mili Avital) is the only girl he will screw for the rest of his life. In other words he decides that he might marry her. Max thinks that way!

Jason Lee(Mall Rats, Chasing Amy) plays Jay who is Max's old buddy. He's been dumped by a bitch called Natasha (Vanessa Angel) who's now screwing a number of Frenchmen in Paris at the same time. (No, no, Kissing A Fool isn't pornographic. It doesn't even have that dubious honour to recommend it.)

Jay is writing a book in the company with his editor who just happens to be Sam and he strangely introduces Max to Sam. Then Max gets Jay to offer himself to Sam, to "test her" to see if Sam will be faithful to Max. Do you need to know more?

Jay seems to be a colourless nerd, even if he writes romantic fiction. Sam, only seems to peripherally have any real feelings for anyone.

So who cares? I don't.
