Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): post - chasing amy , a slew of love - triangle movies :
this month we have kissing a fool , co - starring amy 's own lee , and april brings us the object of my affection , which may as well be titled chasing allan , for it is the story of a woman who falls in love with her gay roommate .
( to be absolutely six degrees of kevin bacon about it , that film stars schwimmer 's friend jennifer aniston . ) if only kevin smith could write them all .
..
schwimmer stars as womanizing chicago sportscaster max , who falls in love with his best friend jay ( lee ) 's book editor samantha ( avital ) a mere twenty - four hours after meeting her .
they are soon engaged , and max , because of his own raging libido , grows suspicious of samantha 's fidelity .
he convinces jay to flirt with samantha during the development of his book , to " test her " .
the trouble is , jay might be secretly in love with her . to stretch this flat , sitcom premise to feature length , the plot is framed by a climactic wedding , at which bonnie hunt recounts the triangular tale -- the events leading up to the nuptials -- to an annoying fat man and his silly girlfriend .
hunt has the best comic timing of anyone in the film ; schwimmer can spin bad dialogue into mildly humorous dialogue ; and lee , poor lee , is miscast .
so hysterically funny in chasing amy , here he is forced to repress his comic instincts : to swear , to yell , to talk about oral sex .
.. the script 's idea of a character trait is to stress that jay is a " sensitive man
" , and then show him drinking pepto bismol when he 's stewing over his girl trouble .
as for avital , an israeli actress , she is warm and sweet ,
but we do n't know anything about her character
other than that it takes her an incredibly long time to realize the most obvious things .
she also too closely resembles the stunningly beautiful kari wuhrer , who plays schwimmer 's assistant and personal temptress , turning that particular subplot into an unintentional riff on vertigo .
there are a handful , a smattering , of good scenes in kissing a fool .
i enjoyed a moment in a comedy club , during which jay gets up and asks " has anyone here ever hated their girlfriend so much you wanted to kill her ?
" over and over until he 's booted off stage .
there are also a few obviously improvised lines that are fresher than anything that 's on the page .
kissing a fool is never as clever as the thursday night joke - machine friends that spawned schwimmer 's movie career , so save yourself eight dollars and watch three episodes of that series back to back .
