Kissing Jessica Stein (2001)
Funny, touching, and witty
Kissing Jessica Stein was a wonderful movie. Although it is fairly obvious that the script comes from theatrical roots, it has transformed quite well into a film.
The story is funny and touching, and seems to capture the difficulties of modern relationships in big cities in the Western world.
The writing is sharp and very funny. Many of the supporting characters are very theatrical and larger than life, but the main characters played by Jennifer Westfeldt, Heather Jurgensen, and Scott Cohen were very approachable and loveable. The acting was superb.
How Harry Became a Tree (2001)
A good film of the absurd
I had the pleasure of seeing the world premiere of this film at the Toronto International Film Festival. It is a wonderfully funny movie with a great performance by Colm Meaney.
The script borrows from a Chinese story, but is placed in Ireland. The film is well-paced, beautifully shot, and includes wonderful performances by all involved.
