A group review of "Celeste and Jesse Forever"

   guess which is which? I'm John Ritter, you dummy!       Starring Kurt, Britt and Ursula.     Britt:   as much as I enjoyed   Celeste and Jesse Forever , it is easy to write off the movie as a romantic comedy with weak characters.     love means never having 2 grow up Ursula:   Sure, Rashida Jones as Celeste can be seen as the high-strung, controlling female character who's got her life together but doesn't know what she wants.  And Andy Samberg as Jesse can be seen as the sweet and adorable guy who never really grew up.   Kurt :  Agreed. There has been a growing trend of intelligent "romantic comedies" lately ( Bridesmaids comes to mind), as much as that sounds like an oxymoron. I'm not exactly sure if C & J fits that mold; it had plenty of laughs, but it felt more grounded than other comedies I've seen. It had more in common with Annie Hall than whatever crap Kate Hudson's been in...
