Fate turns two young couples inside out and upside down in this stylish mix of live action and animation that blends sex, fist-fight s among friends, and an amazing twist of fate to top off a tale that begins with Just A Kiss.
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 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
From the Back Cover
Its not simple being a young, attractive, sexy, single professional living in Manhattan and looking for love. Take it from Halley (Kyra Sedgwick), a tender-hearted videographer, Paula (Marisa Tomei), an intense bowling alley waitress, Dag (Ron Eldard), a brash TV commercial director, Andre (Taye Diggs), a soft-spoken cellist, Peter (Patrick Breen) and Rebecca (Marley Shelton), an emotionally fragile ballerina. All they wanted was the relationship of their dreams. All they got was a hilariously convoluted nightmare that began withjust a kiss. Its a twisted story of sex between six consenting adults that New York magazine hails “a stylized comedy with magical flights of fancy!” See more
