Kissing Jessica Stein Mr. Cranky's rating:
If there's one thing certain about bisexuality, it's that there's a lot more of it going on in New York and Los Angeles, where feature films are made, then in rural America, where they think bisexual is a city term for a guy getting a hooker ("Buy sex you all?"). If there's one thing certain about bisexuality, it's that there's a lot more of it going on in New York and Los Angeles, where feature films are made, then in rural America, where they think bisexual is a city term for a guy getting a hooker ("Buy sex you all?"). Consequently, films tend to have considerably more diverse sexual experiences taking place in them. Ultimately, this results in a film where a nice Jewish girl tries out the lesbian thing with a bisexual art gallery manager, Helen Cooper (Heather Juergensen). Jessica being Jewish is no accident; it's a marketing strategy -- I'm sure "Kissing Kay O'Reilly" and "Kissing Mira Patel" are right around the corner. Speaking as somebody whose right hand holds a grudge, I'm sensitive to the theme of finding love wherever one can. However, lesbianism and bisexuality are to Hollywood and filmmaking what Pet Rocks were to the children of the late '70s --a fad. As far as Hollywood is concerned, lesbianism is something heterosexuals dabble in while they're waiting for the right man to come along, and only good looking heterosexuals need apply (Anne Heche notwithstanding). If I were a real lesbian, it'd make me mad enough to throw my golf clubs at my pickup truck.
Was it really that bad?
