They also question why everyone in the movie is kissing on the lips, including Kimberly and her dad. Through it all, they explore how the film’s dated relationship norms still spark modern-day debates about friendship, insecurity, and love, especially through the performances of Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney, Cameron Diaz, and Rupert Everett.
