JESSICA STEIN is an ultramodern romantic comedy - a fresh, laugh-out-loud
look at the gray areas between friendship and romance. Jessica
is a beautiful, straight, sensitive but neurotic New York journalist
and closet painter whose most developed social skill is shooting
a good thing down before ever giving it a chance. When she learns
her baby brother is about to get married, she decides in a panic
to take action to end her dating drought, only to experience a
dating spree from hell. On a whim, she answers an intriguing personal
ad placed by a woman art dealer. To Jessica's complete surprise,
she bonds and clicks with beautiful Helen, and they instantly
proceed to muddle through an earnest but hilarious relationship
making up the rules as they go along. By the time her brother's
wedding comes around, Jessica realizes she must choose to come
out of more than one closet to find happiness.
