| Loved it!Loved it!Loved it! (by kos5) |
| Laws of Attraction was absolutely fantastic! For me, it was the perfect romantic comedy! Julianne Moore and Pierce Brosnan really redefined the age-old saying "opposites attract". It was awesome. The characters were hilarious, the plot was great! Its a smart, witty, hopeless romantic sort of comedy. Numerous times I found myself completely carried away in some of those "hopeless romantic" sort of lines. It was well thought out. I would say its more of the intelligent person's romantic comedy, even though I know everyone would enjoy it! I would recommend it to anyone <more> |
| Delightful and wonderfully romantic. Is that too much? (by fredericksmith1952) |
| Seriously, you have here the perfect love story in the perfect setting with the most perfect couple one can think of, if you are thinking of true Irishmen and Irish descendants. Pierce Brosnan is witty, charming, cute "as per Frances Fisher in the film", and above all, incredibly gifted in this role. When you watch him here, you are reminded of the films of David Niven or Cary Grant, and that is no mean comparison coming from someone who sorely laments the lost of such talents. Julianne Moore comes up to Pierce brilliantly, and you could see this film occurring thirty years ago, <more> |
| Courtroom Romance (by Chrysanthepop) |
| Julianne Moore and Pierce Brosnan freshly pair up in McKenna's splendid 'Laws of Attraction'. It is sort of an unusual romantic comedy set partly in America and partly in Ireland. Moore and Brosnan are a delight to watch, especially how their love story unfolds in the courtroom. Brosnan is great at playing the Irishman as he also proved in 'Evelyn' perhaps because he is one. Moore keeps proving what an incredibly versatile actress she is as she shows a flair for comedy. But it is the scenes between Frances Fisher and Julianne Moore that I enjoyed watching the most. The <more> |
| For those who appreciate Romantic Comedies, this one is spot on! (by twilight2000) |
| Very Mild Spoilers I grew up watching this style of movie at it's very best -- Tracy & Hepburn, so I went into this with a very skeptical nature in spite of appreciating Pierce Brosnan's work in general. Romantic Comedy, done well, is predictable only in it's broadest strokes. To be really interesting and re-watchable it requires that at least some of the predictabilities have twists without ruining the eventual outcome. Not only was this one of the most enjoyable of it's genre I've watched, Brosnan, Moore and Fischer were *wonderful* in their portrayals of their <more> |
| Another Very Good Romantic Comedy!!! (by ccxsen) |
| The three best features of this commendable way to spend an evening are 1 the storyline and script which is clever 2 The acting and the chemistry between Brosnan and Moore which makes it almost believable and the cinematography, which, particularly for the scenes in Ireland, is well done.In my opinion, one of the features of a good romantic comedy is that it engages the viewer in a story that makes them imagine or daydream about the wonderful magic of romantic love. A good romantic comedy should make us laugh, and cry, and smile throughout...and this one has that result.Yes, the plot <more> |
| Critics, take a hike....this film is adorable! (by inkblot11) |
| Daniel Rafferty Pierce Brosnan is a hotshot divorce attorney, recently transplanted in NYC. Audrey Woods Julianne Moore is also a rising star in the realm of divorce lawyers. Naturally, the duo go head to head on quite a few big cases. One night, they arrange a "business" dinner, proceed to become intoxicated, and end up spending the night together. This complication causes trouble for the professional and personal lives. Can they swallow their pride and straighten things out?This movie is a darling romantic comedy for those who are tiring of the teenage love stories cropping up <more> |
| 007 meets and shags Sex in the City (by shiningmonk) |
| OK, the heading was to grab your attention. Sarah Jessica Parker and her sex-mad cronies aren't thankfully! in this, but Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore are.Every now and then, they make a lightweight comedy romance with English actor Hugh Grant, and someone like Jennifer Lopez or Sandra Bullock, and it falls apart because Grant can't act. Well, this one boldly casts Irish-born Bond actor Brosnan with stage-actress Moore.It's not a "wet hanky" romance as some reviewers were evidently expecting but a tale of one-upmanship between two rival lawyers in Manhattan, both <more> |
| great screwball comedy, ruined ending (by solymr) |
| This movie reminds me of the romantic screwball comedies from the 30's, 40's and 50's. The movie succeeds in following the humor, witty dialogs and great pace witch made the romantic comedies of old so great. That is, until the ending. The entire ending is ruined, copy-pasted from every other average romantic comedy today they split up, the guilty one realizes his/her fault and runs to his/her lover and spills his/her guts out... and they live happily ever after . It is not the director's fault, he even tried his best to make the ending not so sleazy aka the excellent <more> |
| nice couple, nice film (by duygugerceker) |
| Laws of attraction was one of the best films i watched in summer 2004. Personally, i had always thought Pierce Brosnan was a good actor but i had never observed Julianne Moore closely before so i was joyful when i watched the movie.In fact, films about advocate usually have a general context which is based on affairs of the advocates who had met because of their clients but the performances and story had made this movie different and better than the others. Scenes from Ireland were quite nice and events about the singer and creator had made me laughed very often.As a result i think it was a <more> |
