Kiss Me Again

Kiss Me Again is one of the shallowest WLW movies I’ve ever seen.

Kiss Me Again is about three attractive avatars of 2006 fashion. The first is Julian, a young college professor. Julian opens the film by burning an American flag in class. He is surprised when this has ramifications and people complain. Julian has a wife named Chalice. I cannot think of a single additional detail to add about her. In Julian’s class, there is also Elena. As show on Julian’s questionnaire he gives his students about their favourite art and film, Elena is intelligent as well as attractive. Julian flirts with Elena and eventually kisses her. Instead of telling Chalice this, he says they should open up their marriage and try a threesome. So, the couple posts a personal ad. Elena responds, pretending to be a stranger. After their successful threesome, Chalice starts seeing Elena behind Julian’s back.

Like any successful relationship, a poly relationship needs communication. Kiss Me Again’s lead trio had absolutely none of this. I know it’s stupid to ask fictional characters to act rationally. But damn, if everyone just communicated, this wouldn’t have been a love triangle at all, just a healthy trio. But, it’s a shitty movie so the characters don’t communicate. That way they can have a major relationship blow-up in full view of Julian’s class. The film ends with the three back together. I have no faith this fictional relationship would last much past the ending credits.

The characters in Kiss Me Again are shallow to a truly baffling level. Not even Julian, the man and the technical lead gets any sort of depth. These characters have minimal personality beyond being hot and few interests apart from sex. I didn’t enjoy spending time learning about them and their relationship because they’re all deeply bland. Even character motivation is often down to physical attractiveness. This is very much a film of hot people with hot people problems.

Kiss Me Again hardly counts as a WLW film. Julian is technically the lead and Elena and Chalice are co-leads. But, they also get scenes apart from Julian and have as much depth as him so, I guess. I don’t know. Either way, don’t watch this. Kiss Me Again is shallow nonsense. Its focus is on being sexy and little else. And it’s not a standout in that regard either. The film overall feels like it was made by someone unattractive who assumes this is what attractive people be like. But I’m pretty sure even the most attractive person has some sort of interest or motive beyond their own hotness.

Overall rating: 2.7/10
