Kissing a Fool

(Universal)

Max (David Schwimmer of Friends) and Jay (Jason Lee, from Chasing Amy) have known each other since childhood and remain close even though Max is a womanizing sportscaster while Jay is a sensitive writer licking his wounds from a traumatic break-up. Complications ensue when Jay sets Max up with his editor, Sam (Mili Avital); the resulting romantic comedy rises a notch above its formulaic roots.
