A year after making Chasing Amy, Jason Lee made the movie Kissing a Fool. Playing Jay Murphy, Lee got to be the kind and gentle best friend to David Schwimmer's shallow, obnoxious Max Abbitt.
This was a nice change of pace for both of them. Schwimmer, of course, was playing lovable nerd Ross on Friends, while Lee was best known for playing the obnoxious best friends in Mallrats and Chasing Amy.
After the bad reviews this film got, I had avoided watching it. What a mistake!
It wasn't perfect (hey, what is), but it was a pleasant little comedy, especially if you're a fan of any of the actors.
I thought Mili Avital was wonderful in this. She has the grace and charm of the actresses of the 30s and 40s. It's easy to believe that both Max and Jay fell in love with her.
Here's a trailer:
Hope you enjoy it.
