  1. 100
    Delightfully unpredictable, hilarious comedy with wonderful performances that tug at your heart in ways that utterly transcend gender labels.
  2. 80
    These women are smart, funny and wonderfully real, traits that one might safely attribute to Westfeldt and Juergensen, who also wrote the screenplay.
  3. 80
    Westfeldt and Juergensen keep Kissing Jessica Stein bright and funny and loose.
  4. 60
    Eventually Stein's habit of dodging its own issues grows frustrating.
