Join us at the JCC for the final film in the Cult Classic film series: Kissing Jessica Stein (R). In the face of her brother getting engaged and her best friend starting a family, Jessica Stein remains hopelessly single – creating the crux of Kissing Jessica Stein. While browsing the personal ads (it is 2001 after all), Jessica unexpectedly stumbles on an intriguing ad in the “women seeking women” section. On a whim, she decides to answer it, and unexpectedly clicks with downtown hipster, Helen. With conventional gender roles absent, the two women proceed to muddle through an earnest but hilarious courtship, making up the rules as they go. Registration is required
