Kissing Jessica Stein is a Romantic Comedy film from 2001, about a Jewish woman named Jessica whose life is changed when she meets a bisexual woman named Helen.

Tropes used in Kissing Jessica Stein include:

Anguished Declaration of Love
Big Applesauce:
Camp Gay:
Deadpan Snarker: Meyers is like this, mostly due to bitterness caused by past events.
Depraved Bisexual: Helen is a minor example.
Did You Just Have Sex?: After she has been with Helen for a few months, Jessica comes to work practically dancing. Immediately one of her friends asks Jessica whether she's been seeing someone.
Girl-On-Girl Is Hot: It is lampshaded in a hilarious scene. What makes it hilarious? Helen stroking Jessica's thigh under the table, and the fact that the guys to whom they are talking are completely oblivious to it.
Jewish Mother: Jessica's mother is a textbook example.
Jewish and Nerdy
Ironic Echo: Early in the movie, Helen says that she does not get sick, and Jessica repeats it to her when Helen is in bed with a cold.
No Bisexuals: This seems to be the attitude of the characters. The word "bisexual" is never used. Two characters even argue about how you can't just "switch" back and forth.
Post-Kiss Catatonia: Jessica goes through this:

Helen: So you know how you'll react to anything?
Jessica: Pretty much, yes.
Helen: (kisses Jessica and watches her become stunned and silent)
