This could have been so much better. It’s a romantic comedy that couldn’t decide whether to be a romance or a comedy and ended up failing on both counts. Jessica’s inability to deal with her own sexuality and lack of social skills is at the crux of it all, to which the viewer may say, “So what? The little putz deserves what she gets.”

The movie’s saving grace is the talk she has with her mom after her brother’s wedding near the very end of the film, when we learn of the roots of her perfectionism. This would have been useful knowledge at the start of the movie so we could empathize with her and how she sabotages her relationships. What I liked least was how her “art” gets tossed in, but we never see her engaged in it. So many lost opportunities here, which I blame entirely on the director.

This movie played into all the cultural misunderstandings about bisexuality. And then the main character finally “figured it out” and had the regular hollywood ending. It was a movie that was culturally insensitive dressed up to look like it was trying to be sensitive. I’m straight and this movie offended me; I can only imagine how it makes non-heterosexuals feel.

cause i’m still not sure how i feel about it in relation to it’s stance on bisexuals. the extra materials have more to say about it but a lot of that was edited, so i want to get another look at what impression is given just by viewing the film. i’ll get back to ya.
