Kissed and more...

Warning: Spoilers
Jérémy is gay and lives with his long time friend, Antoine, who is becoming a doctor. Jérémy is also associated with Charles, who is straight, in a young company producing consultancy reports. Problem starts when Jeremy meets a Swedish girl, Adna, and spends the night at her place. The whole film is then about him getting confused, not sure whether he should stay with Antoine, or cancel the prepared wedding and move to Adna. Relationship with Charles, whose advices and attitude are a bit provocative and pushy, makes the situation more difficult. Adna, on her side, has become attracted to Jérémy, not aware of the real nature of the couple Jeremy/Antoine, this one being introduced as Jérémy's brother. So at some point it is clear that all lies will evaporate, every party will understand what is going on, and decision will have to be taken.

I suspect that those who wrote the scenario, were not sure on how to finish it. They probably considered several available options. What could be the best happy end in such a comedy ? I was satisfied by the last part (but not the final scene), especially the funny trip to Sweden. Even if this end is seriously unrealistic, The whole film should not be considered as more than a series of clichés and theatrical play intended to try to make you smile. No lessons about sexual identity can be extracted from this material. But it may generate some discussions about possible migration from one side to the other.

Overall "I kissed a girl" is watchable, but a bit flat and can be avoided as well. It will probably annoy most gay people, as a celebration of normality and conformism.
