What do you do if you're about to get married and you've got cold feet? If you're Max Abbott (David Schwimmer), you ask your best friend Jay (Jason Lee) to sleep with your fiancŽe. Max, a sportscaster dedicated to playing the field, and the beautiful, intelligent Samantha Andrews (Mili Avital) are a mismatch made in heaven. Jay, who recently had his heart broken, couldn't be unhappier for them. Before he knows it, Max is giving up swinging bachelorhood, but the thought of one marriage for the rest of his life suddenly throws Max into a panic. Max reasons that if Samantha cheats on him first, he'll be off the hook. When he asks Jay to help him "test" the relationship, not only does Jay think Max is deranged, but Jay wants nothing to do with the scheme. Unfortunately, a little compromising finds Jay and Samantha and Max in an awkward position. Kissing A Fool, the romantic comedy about commitment, friendship and love in the '90s.
"...a witty romantic comedy." Washington Post
"...likable romantic comedy." Anita Gates, The New York Times
Editor's Note
Vain, self-serving sports reporter Max has everything--a promising career, a fabulous future, and a beautiful fiancee whom he's known less than a full day. But is it love at first sight or a sudden infatuation? To test her fidelity, Max arranges for his best friend to seduce her--with unexpected and potentially devastating results.

"Watching David Schwimmer play the bad boy, fabulously, is a lot of fun..." 02/27/1998 p.E23Boxoffice Magazine 8 of 10
...Kissing a Fool sports a very different tone from the usual comedy fare--it is intelligent. Despite its lackluster title and the threat of being just another romantic comedy, Kissing A Fool is a very funny movie. Everything works. The entire cast shines. James Frey and Doug Ellin's script is contemporary and clever, full of offbeat action and original lines. - Karen Achenbach
