Starring Jennifer Westfeldt, Heather Juergensen, Scott Cohen
The early-2000s romantic comedy gets a bi-curious twist with this girl-meets-girl indie charmer. After dating a string of disappointing men, neurotic New York journalist Jessica Stein (Jennifer Westfeldt) happens upon an intriguing personal ad . . . that just so happens to be in the “women seeking women” section. On a whim, she decides to answer it and, to her surprise, ends up instantly clicking with downtown hipster Helen Cooper (Heather Juergensen). The women proceed to muddle through an earnest courtship in which, with conventional gender roles absent, they are forced to make it up as they go along.
