M R @RT95901422 May 9, 2023 I haven't seen this one in a while. But I found it somewhat entertaining. David Schwimmer is hilarious in it both intentionally and accidentally as the athletic playboy archetype. He was probably good with girls in real life, but that probably wasn't his style. I saw this one before 'Mallrats' so I just remember Jason Lee being very impressive in his role and relatable. But the movie drags a little. It is very derivative of the Romantic Comedy genre and not that funny. Still, I remember it had heart? I kinda liked it despite its obvious faults. 76/100 C See more Steve D @RT35616104 Feb 12, 2023 The cast did their best with a weak script. See more Feb 7, 2021 I think it's a very cozy easy watching movie, one of those from 90th, light, chill, romantic, maybe wouldn't blow your mind, but will keep you watching till the end to see what happens See more Feb 8, 2017 It's good movie to watch See more May 31, 2015 5/31/2015: Not great by any means, but a nice little movie. See more Sep 11, 2014 "Kissing a Fool" isn't so much a bad movie as it is a plain and ordinary one that never really aspires to be anything special. The three leads are all pretty enough, but the love story is lazy and the film isn't really about what it's supposed to be about. David Schwimmer is playing unconvincingly against type, and you never really buy him as the boorish womanizer. It's an obnoxious performance apparently designed to put his TV past behind him, but all it's destined to do is completely alienate his fan base. I've always liked Jason Lee, on the other hand, and he fares a little better here simply because you like his character so much more. As the film heads down its predictable path to the ending everyone knows is coming, there are no surprises along the way. It sets up a premise, eventually involving the insecure and immensely unlikable Schwimmer asking his pal to seduce his fiance to see if she'll remain faithful, but that is never followed up on. There's really no reason to delve into that story since we all know how that will play out from the start. There's some good music sprinkled throughout, but the needless and distracting profanity is really unnecessary for a film of this nature. The screenwriter is novelist James Frey, who would later be exposed as a fraud for making up a lot of the details of his memoir. Based on the banal and forgettable "KIssing a Fool", he could be called a hack as well. This insipid wannabe romance is little more than a poor excuse for a date movie. See more Read all reviews
