I took this movie because my wife wanted a romantic comedy. It is slightly comedy as well as romantic, but IT IS NOT a romantic comedy. What it is is one of those situational movies which exploit the butterfly effect in relationships and in the end everybody ends up knowing everybody and having a connection to them and facing consequences for the things they did in the first start of the movie.The graphical effects are nice sometimes, but completely unnecessary. After I watched about 80% of the film I have already decided that it is better than a romantic comedy, as I wasn't bored out of my socks, but worse than any other type of movie. I've already labeled it average and I was waiting for the end. The end, though, transformed into a short "what if" mini-movie that canceled all the bad effects of the first part of the film. I didn't like that, really.So, in conclusion, while it was a rather original take on an old story, it failed to deliver entertainment or at least the discovery of one's true hidden feelings as some of these romantic experiments end up doing. You just watch the movie, completely disconnected and vaguely aware of the emotions of the characters, then it ends.

This movie was a moviestar-filled indie film about relationships and what might have happened had they chosen to take things differently with the people nearest to them. This plot is very overused so naturally to change the movie and make it unique, they add digital effects over the video to make it more artsy.I liked the effects and the different characters were always getting themselves into crazy situations involving neverending change, but the way this was directed was so unbelievable and chaotic that the audience, in my opinion, doesn't have time to understand how to react to the changes that are made. This movie is more depressing than happy or even "real."This obviously is supposed to be a black comedy based around the emotion of love and its many forms and prices of being in love. I gave it a 5/10 stars because although it had nice stylistic touches to keep you watching, there was very little payoff to watching through to the credits.

JUST A KISS is so original (I can't compare it closely to ANYthing else I've seen), so laugh-out-loud funny, so well acted, written and directed, that to pass it up would be a sin and a loss for any real movie-lover. It's a kind of filmed comic essay on fidelity in an age of infidelity--what you gain and what you lose. But if that sounds preachy, the movie is anything but. Yes, it uses some kind of morphing into an animated look periodically, which is evidently distracting to some, but I felt it just added to the many pleasures of the film. My theory is that these moments are the heightened--read sexual, violent, transitional times--that need to be singled out in some way, but maybe that isn't what the talented director Fisher Stevens had in mind. The cast--a wonderful mix of first-rate performers, all of whom are seen to good advantage--is exemplary. And the writing is, too. This is such a special movie: thank god for the Sundance Channel or we might never have discovered it. Bravo to everyone concerned!

I rented this movie for my girlfriend because I don't mind a chick flick if it has a good story. However, this movie is predictable and boring. None of the characters have redeeming qualities. Its like Seinfeld without the comedy. All they care about is themselves so it is pretty easy to figure out the choices they will make. Why can't we have movies where people have more depth of character? This movie was vulgar, tragic, and lacked romance. The cover shows two people about to kiss, yet all the love in this movie is tragic. Don't expect to be in the mood for romance after this movie. Its like an American version of a bad French movie.If you want a Romantic Comedy that will make you laugh and set the mood get Amelie, its the best of its type.
