This charming, lightweight comedy about sexual orientation and experimentation stars the adorable, funny Jennifer Westfeldt as a good Jewish girl who decides that maybe the whole heterosexual dating thing isn't working for her, so she's going to play for the other team for a while. She begins a timid "romance" with a girl in much the same boat, with the exception that Westfeldt never really takes to lesbianism and the other girl does. Though the lesson she learns -- the problem in connecting with men lies in her own inability to sustain an intimate connection with another human being, not in any hidden homosexual tendencies -- is obvious, it's well told, and the director manages to keep the film from seeming glib or trendy. Westfeldt is a lovable actress, and she navigates the iffy terrain between cute and annoying very well.
