Horrible Attempt at Satire

This film tries awfully hard to spook romance movies of every type. It wants to spoof the romantic comedy, the tragedy, HBO soft-core porn and in some ways a horror film of female obsession. However, it fails in every respect seeming... Full review

This is original, thought-provoking, dark (sometimes very cruel), and poignant. The story unfolded with colorful animated episodes, interchanging with regular scenes. The lines of fantasies and reality are blurred here, and time could be turned back. Don't know how to quite... Full review

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... Full review

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... Full review

There are in fact some good takes in this film. Each is like an episode that relates forward or back to another, with uneven balance. The clever rotomation is probably unnecessary, but you never know because the central theme of infidelity... Full review

Given the quality of the actors on this project, I thought this might be one of those overlooked movies that turn out to be a missed treasure. I discovered that it was overlooked for a really good reason. It is a... Full review

Great movie! It starts out with two people about to kiss in a hotel room, with both of them admitting that this is going to be a big mistake. Buit they go ahead and do it anyway. After that, the rest... Full review

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... Full review

Don't be so hard on this film, all of you who are putting it down. It's not going to win an oscar for any reason, but it's different and it's not stupid. It's definitely worth a rental fee. The film dabbles... Full review

Just a Kiss" has all the subtlety and insight of a bad student-film project....But the mostly live-action movie also attempts to be a quirky romantic comedy, a comic fantasy and even a domestic drama..... ... Full Review

Among its many serious problems is the fact that "Just a Kiss" can't make up its mind about what type of movie it wants to be.
Unfortunately, almost none of this experimentation works, and the rather unlikable, unsympathetic characters make what is less than 90 minutes seem much, much longer.

What does matter in Just a Kiss is the refreshingly original style with which it has been put together.
But visual effects alone do not make Just a Kiss the fun

The effect is terrific.

As beginnings go, this is not bad, but the problem with "Just a Kiss" is that it is all beginnings without the benefit of a real ending.
"Just a Kiss" starts, fittingly enough, with a kiss and the words that go with it.

But none of it matters, because Breen doubles back and gives everyone a second chance to live less recklessly.
The visual design helps marginally, but there's nothing here worth building on.
