Did Laurel Holloman & Nicole Ari Parker (The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love) have any scenes together? Even after Tara & Willow, they are still my favorite fictional lesbian characters.
No one here gets out alive.
I forgot they acted together, there was a very good film.
But no, no scenes together in this one.
i saw that film (many years ago), and had forgotten that holloman and parker were in it. wonder if the director knew?
one of the best things about "loving jezebel" is its broadmindedness: there are probably lesbians together somewhere in this movie (think of that long scene in that nightclub, but it (the story) doesn't feel the need to draw attention to its openmindedness. the script is very knowing without smacking us over the head with its knowledge.
that is also why the races/ethnicities of the characters is never even alluded to. of course, the setting/location has a lot to do with that, i'm sure. if this film were set in some comparably large southern city like, say, atlanta, there'd be racial/ethnic dynamics among the many characters (and especially between the two main characters). there aren't any here, though (contrary to what one poster states on a previous thread).
i usually don't go for "romantic comedies", either, but this is one of the rare ones with a 'head on its shoulders' - and that 'head' is thinking outside the genre box, too. i've even seen it more than once, and i also like theodorus'/hill harper's voice-over narration (those are always tricky). so much of the character's strengths and flaws get laid out thru that voice-over that you do think you know exactly who he is at the end - and he's like a few of us (he even writes, like i do). good little funny film with a lot of heart.
