When Jessica's pregnant coworker, Joan (JACKIE HOFFMAN), reads her one of the personals from the paper, Jessica thinks the person sounds perfect for her. Since a woman seeking a woman wrote it, however, Jessica initially dismisses it. Yet, throwing all caution to the wind, she then decides to meet Helen Cooper (HEATHER JUERGENSEN), an assistant director at an art gallery.
Having the same problem finding the right person, Helen had her gay friends Martin (MICHAEL MASTRO) and Sebastian (CARSON ELROD) help write the personal ad for her, and she's instantly attracted to Jessica upon meeting her.
While Helen is a practicing bisexual, any sort of same sex behavior is foreign to Jessica, and she's embarrassed, awkward and unsure of how and whether to proceed. The two eventually become lovers, however, and must then deal with the happiness of finding love contrasting the pitfalls of such a relationship, including Jessica's reluctance to let anyone know of it.
Some of both (dialogue and behavior) involves lesbianism as a previously straight woman enters into a relationship with a bisexual woman (who has two gay male friends). Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, while a great deal of drinking occurs in many scenes and a few characters briefly smoke.
Beyond that, the remaining categories have little or nothing in the way of major objectionable material. Nevertheless, should you still be concerned about the film and its appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home, you may want to take a closer look at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.
