Kissing Jessica Stein Movie Review 2002

Neurotic, Jewish, and straight Jessica (Westfeldt) is tired of blind dates with loser guys so she decides to response to a personal ad that was placed by Helen (Jurgensen). Much to Jessica's surprise, the two have a lot in common and awkwardly begin a relationship, even though Jessica is skittish when it comes to sex. However, Jessica can't 'fess up to her family about Helen so they have some other issues to work out. Feldshuh, who plays Westfeldt's doting Jewish mama steals the film.
