Kissing a Fool

1998 · 93 min

A breezy, talky nineties rom-com that coasts on charm and mild cringe, easy to half-watch while its love triangle ambles toward the obvious.

Tagline: May the best man win.
Overview: An egotistical television personality enlists the assistance of his best friend in putting the fidelity of his fiancé to the test in this amiable comedy of the sexes. Told in flashback, the film takes a familiar love-triangle scenario and gives it a bitter twist. With a bride who seems too good for either suitor, the film is sustained by one question - who will she choose?
How it feels: Light, romantic, satirical and earnest. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Love, friendship, betrayal, identity
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
