    This movie always has had a special place in my heart despite me being one of the people who is bummed by the ending. It’s great to hear all this background! I appreciate it more now knowing how little they had to make it and it was great seeing the cast reminisce.

    This movie was a cornerstone in my sexuality. I was 17, my girlfriend was 19. It just came out in theaters. How much I felt so awkward and so new. I love all of you guys. So much. The mom scene. The first kiss scene. The best friend scenes. So relatable. Even as a 17 year old in 2001-02.

    This movie has such an special vibe to it. You can see that it was made with love. It's hard to watch movies like this being made anymore and I have such affection for this one 💛 Now I understand more, I didn't knee the actresses were the writers too :O

    Kissing Jessica Stein and Party Girl are my two favorite NYC rom-coms . Both capture NYC at that sweet time in the city before 9/11. NYC was still charming and eclectic back then and accessible to people who were not mega-wealthy.

    This is one of my favorite movies I saw it when it first released super indie vibe and I can still watch it today like no time has passed at all. It's the first time I had seen a film executed so well. People loving people no matter the gender even if it was out of the norm like it was during this time. I really appreciate it and it makes sense they wrote it together. Anything Jennifer writes or produces I fall in love with. I did the same with Friends with Kids.

    Such a beautiful and artsy film. I am a straight woman but this is one of my all time favorite films. It evokes so much emotion and nostalgia of the NYC I never got to meet.

  • @Ray-pp5qb

    Ive always loved the ending.
    And, now that im an actual adult with varied life experiences, I think its the most realistic ending.
    Some lovers come into our lives as a catalyst to us being more of our true selves. And, if we're lucky we can shift into a genuine friendship when the flames of romance dies out.

      thinking about the time it came out, the characters were treated really well, Helen was a wonderful leading women and romantic interest; I mean I hated too the way Jessica's bisexuality was painted as a "phase", but the way her family acted around the fact was amazing, and i think that's the gold point on this movie, the mom is the best character ever.

    I just watched this for the first time tonight (Mar 1, 2019) and couldn't stop laughing and felt really invested in all of the characters. Im curious why the scene Jackie Hoffman references (about kissing Heather Juergensen in stairwell) isn't in the movie cause I think it really would have been such a great scene to see for so many reasons.

      The DVD has many deleted scenes, including this one with commentary from the co-stars on why each did not make the final cut. Should be available from your local library.

    I think this movie explored flexibility and sexual and Romanic attraction being on a spectrum and resolves in the idea that although there is some ultimately your sexually is more biologically determined.

    Just watched this movie for the first time today and I’m in awe. For many reasons (in a good way)!
    But isn’t it weird how they keep labeling them “lesbian” ? Why did the possibility of bisexuality never get brought up?
    In the end it makes it seem like Jessica just went through a phase. Especially with the line where she says Helen wanted someone “gayer”. I dunno.

    Jennifer never made it as an actress. She has a slightly off putting beauty and I think she just didn’t resonate on screen. This movie was ok I guess. Nothing ground breaking imo but I guess it was to others
