Review of Kiss Me

Kiss Me (2011)
3/10
Unrealistic attempt at lesbian love
25 July 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Okay, it's sweet it really is, them trying to make a cute little flick about two girls falling in love. But, here's the thing, just because we're lesbians doesn't mean we fall in love after a few brief conversations and a little sexually frustrated fueled sexy times.

First of all what kind of person is expected to fall in love with a love story about intentionally breaking hearts for the sake of one selfish relationship. Frida pursued Mia pretty aggressively after that first kiss, knowing damn well she had a nice, loving fiancé. And then! And then we find out she had her out doting girlfriend all along! What? Was that supposed to be a little plot twist? Because that just made me disrespect her even more. On top of all the cheating going on for a little lustfilled night with a stranger who was soon to be a step-sister, we come to find out they've both been negatively affected by cheating. Which makes me think that their whole attitude towards their tryst is completely out of character.

Then frida goes a little coo coo kachoo arguing with Mia about being in love with the man she is supposed to marry all because they had one semi-romantic weekend?

That's not someone I want representing me and my lesbianess in the media.

And can I just say, Mia didn't even cut her nails for Frida. That's not love, my friends.

The acting was sub-par and the plot was really just a subtle twist on a story that's been retold a hundred times. (How many lesbian movies do I have to watch where the girl with the boyfriend/fiancé/husband falls in love with a cute, Care-free girl, but doesn't want to accept it?)

It's tired and played out.

I didn't even want to watch the rest because their entire relationship thereafter is based off of a start I think it absurd....sexy or not.

Honestly, I thought the parents' subplot was more interesting and real than Mia and Frida's. Their relationship and arguments seemed much more legitimate.
