Kissing a Fool

DIRECTED BY: Doug Ellin

REVIEWED: 03-09-98

This low-budget comedy with cute-guy substitutes David Schwimmer and Jason Lee is reasonably entertaining, reasonably funny, and reasonably moving. Basically, sleaze-ball sportscaster and cocksman Schwimmer finds love with the one woman (Mili Avital) who his sensitive and loving best friend Jason Lee could truly love, and she loves Schwimmer, but then realizes, no, she loves Lee, but then there's trouble, because even though Lee set her up with Schwimmer he did it because he loves her and couldn't express his love but then Schwimmer convinces Lee to try and bed Avital in order to test her love for Schwimmer but, quelle surprise, the plan backfires and Avital and Lee fall in love but then she finds out about the test and the love thing takes a downturn but the whole thing is told in flashback from a wedding so we know it all worked out for somebody but we don't know who. But we guess really quickly. Still, not an entirely unfunny film, if that's your romantic comedy bag.
