Did I miss something or is this a movie about a person so shallow and frivolous that she can't even what varieties of sex turn her on? It seems that it boils down to what lifestyle can be properly accessorized. It's like lesbianism seen through the eyes of old marketing guys.
The whole movie had a creepy Lifetime TV/'Friends' vibe. Awful cliches like the New York skyline at night panned along with classic jazz and the succession-of-lame-dates-at-the-door-cam are dredged up. The dorky old self-discovery-through-dating plot is given a prime time twist. Lastly, it's a little jarring to hear all that literary pretense being thrown around in a work that is so pedestrian in its dialogue, visuals and storytelling. (The vaguely ethnic, vaguely bohemian, vaguely daring lesbian character could be replaced by any sort of `edgy' male and the one distinct element of this movie would evaporate.)

cause thats what I wanted to do!!!(I'll take Helen any day!) This movie was still WAY better then I thought it would be. And for a romantic comedy it was OK. I'd give it 3 stars outta 5(unless I think about it too much, then it would be 2 outta 5).It was fast paced and hardly stupid sappy. But I could not deal with Ms.Stein's wimpy,dithering icky-ness! And whats up with her mouth!? And**SPOILER**SPOILER** Whats up with saying Helen dumped her cause she wasn't GAY ENOUGH!!?? How about Helen dumped me cause... "I'm a cold fish" or "I was lying to myself about my sexuality" or "I'm a huge loser as a real person"!! Not gay enough...ugh! Shoot! I've thought about it too much now...2 stars out of 5 is the real deal.

I wouldn't care if it was either but I thought the ending was just so stupid because Jessica and Helen were meant for each other. I mean, this story was meant to be based on a young Jewish woman trying to find herself who she truly is. I thought Helen was a great example for being with her because she had ticked all the boxes and just someone you can easily look up to. I thought it was a big mistake that she had to dump Jessica just because they were lacking having sex which is stupid for the writers to just break the characters apart.I don't know why they added in Josh into this, he's like a stalker and a pervert who just wants to use Jessica just because she is beautiful! Seriously, I have never seen a movie turn out bad in the end in my life!
