Kissing A Fool will be either loved or hated by audiences. Myself, I loved it. Jason Lee is a great actor who should be noticed more. Milli Avital is gorgeous, and a good actress, but the real star of this is David Schwimmer. I was actually surprised at the amount of swearing coming from his mouth, but after a while I got used to it. His character is obnoxious, but at the same time, interesting.
The story is about as twisted as you can get. Recent husband to be Max(schwimmer) is a womanising Sports presenter on television who asks his best friend Jay(lee) to "check" to see if recent wife to be is a cheater or not. Things are complicated, however, when Jay falls in love with her.
Schwimmer is amazing. Not only does he get rid of the Ross shadow on Friends, but also manages to plunge straight into a decent film. Rating=4/5
