Summary: Kissing a Fool: Maybe predictable, but not the writing
Review: This movie should not be rented if you are in for a suspenseful flick. This movie is a COMEDY. That means that you watch if for the funny dialogue, great acting, and humorous situations. You do not watch if to find out what happens at the end. Has anybody seen Tommy Boy? Did anyone really wonder if he was going to be able to sell those brake pads? And it still was considered by many a hilarious comedy. Jason Lee is a very good actor, portraying his talents in many a Kevin Smith movie. He is a fantastic dry humor artist. AGAIN: IF you are a person who wants to see a movie without a predictable ending, go pick up Memento, Arlington Road, or Fallen. If you want a COMEDY, which this is, to laugh at, get this! It is well worth the money.

Summary: Good core romantic comedy core dvd holding
Review: This movie, hands down, is worth owning. You have a breakout performance by Jason Lee and an always solid second lead by Friends' David Schwimmer. Most importantly, this movie has very clever and well written dialogue regarding a circle of late 20 somethings in 1990's Chicago who are living the ups and downs of single dating life. You have humor, wit, unexpected lover drama and all around good cinema. This movie keeps your attention from the getgo, does not let go--based on its story telling style. I'm in my early 30's and love this film, my girlfriend is mid-20's and loves this film. And yes, even my 63 year old parents thought this film was particularly captivating over a recent family holiday weekend. Buy it. Watch it once a year. It gets better with each viewing.

Summary: Classic Sounds from a Great Soundtrack
Review: This soundtrack and movie was in my opinion highly underrated by critics across the nation. This excellent score mixes in the awesome rhythms of the Mighty Blue Kings with that of the classic voice of Etta James. The Kissing a Fool soundtrack is the perfect sound for that romantic date however, I felt that the monologue included in the album was a bit dampening on the overall success that it should have received. I was also dissapointed to find that the Harry Connick Jr. songs heard in the movie which fit so elequently, we not included on this soundtrack. All in all, this is a good buy for any fan of swing, love, or the movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Enjoyable Romantic Comedy
Review: Very enjoyable, some very funny lines. Schwimmer plays against type, finally shows some range.

Like Melissa from Memphis, I am looking for the name of the book that Schwimmer reads, the one that he figures out at the end of the movie. I think it was "Le Roche Foucault" or something similar. Can anyone help me out?

Summary: boo to the critics
Review: What's with the bl***dy critics?! They obviously don't know a good movie when they see one. "Kissing A Fool" is an excellent film. One of the best comedies I've seen in years. David Schwimmer, Jason Lee and Mili Avital play their roles well - they have very good chemistry. I never miss a Jason Lee film - even if it's something as lousy as "Heartbreakers". Because he never let's you down. I rented "Kissing A Fool" a couple of years ago and recently bought it on DVD so I could watch it a million times more.

Summary: Destined to be a CLASSIC
Review: While the story is no different from most romantic comedies, this one made it to the books with one of the most hilarious dialogues ever.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Pleasing And Light Romantic Comedy
Review: Why is it I never heard of this movie before stumbling across it on TV? It's holds it's own against larger budget romantic comedies like "You've Got Mail" and "What Women Want".

The DVD image and sound is as clear as a bell. The menus are simple and minimal, but just fine getting to where you want.

The story is about trust and the meaning and power of love, all wrapped up with some original moments (but not overall plot structure) and very funny scenes. The characters' personalities are very real and believable; I couldn't help but relate to people I've known in my past.

This is a perfect date movie, or for anyone looking for a nice light romantic comedy that will make you laugh out loud a few times -- and smile all the way.
