Idina Menzel, Kyra Sedgwick, Marisa Tomei

A romantic comedy with an absurdist edge, Just a Kiss begins when Dag (Ron Eldard), a commercial director, sleeps with his best friend's girlfriend, Rebecca (Marley Shelton), a dancer, while ...( read more  read more... )she's touring in Europe. When their infidelity is revealed back home in New York City, it sets off a cascade of people falling into bed together, including Dag's girlfriend Halley (Kyra Sedgwick), Rebecca's other lover Andre (Taye Diggs), and a waitress at a bowling alley (Marisa Tomei) with strange obsessions and loose morals. Just a Kiss slips to and fro in time and veers in and out of rotoscope animation, but even the live sequences have a cartoonish edge; it's hard to care about what happens to these caricatures, no matter how tight their pants or how skimpy their tank tops. Also featuring Patrick Breen (who wrote the screenplay) and Sarita Choudhury. --Bret Fetzer

    Biggest pile of crap I've seen in a while. Terrible film - tries to be funny, different and edgy, but just ends up being ridiculous and falling flat on its face with it's bad humour. Just a really stupid film - I can't believe it even got any half-decent actors to star in it. So ...( read more)over-the-top I had to stop watching it halfway through because I actually couldn't stand it anymore. Don't bother watching - a waste of time which could be spent watching a decent film.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

We have poignancy jostling against farce, thoughtful dialogue elbowed aside by one-liners, and a visual style that incorporates rotoscope animation for no apparent reason except, maybe, that it looks ... full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

It's coherent, well shot, and tartly acted, but it wears you down like a dinner guest showing off his doctorate. full review
