Julianne Moore and Pierce Brosnan turn on the movie-star twinkle in Laws of Attraction. They're both divorce lawyers whose in-court conflicts give rise to sparks of an entirely different nature--and while they're in Ireland, trying to determine whether the husband or wife in a rock-star divorce deserves to keep a swank castle, they "accidentally" get married. Back in New York, they agree to keep up the pretence of marriage, lest a quickie divorce make them the laughingstocks of the legal community. Few comedies are as outright clumsy as Laws of Attraction; the plot falls apart even as you're watching it, the dialogue stumbles, the direction is graceless. Somehow Moore (Far From Heaven, The Hours) and Brosnan (Tomorrow Never Dies) sustain their charm--but if you're looking for a comedy about divorce, Intolerable Cruelty or the classic Adam's Rib provide a lot more fun. --Bret Fetzer
Customer Reviews
Should have gone straight to TV... - Reviewed on 2008-03-24
Physical beauty counts in films, and Brosnan and Moore
are stunners. That said, Moore cannot play comedy, so
Brosnan's repartee scenes with her are a complete waste.
Not since "Yes, Giorgio" have I heard such stilted and
witless dialogue, and these writers were not writing
for an opera singer, but for movie stars, large-calibre
movie stars. Noticing that Brosnan's production company,
Irish Dreamtime, was a major player in this mess, we don't
have the usual commercial interests to blame entirely.
So,turn your video to no-sound,and enjoy the lovely Irish
scenery, and the marvelous physicality of Brosnan. No one
gets into a limo as he does in the last scene but one.
The man has the build of a dancer, and is drop-dead elegant.
ENTERTAINING EVERY TIME I WATCH IT! - Reviewed on 2007-05-29
2 customers found this review helpful.
Unlike many other viewers, I judge a movie strictly on its entertainment value, based on how I liked it, not on how it stands up to the technical merits of previous movies of similar gender or how it fits into any format of political correctness or whether it meets some current fad of society or on how the critics liked it. I can, and will, think for my self, and I'm very wary of those who don't. I get, and see, far too much crap in everyday life, and I am, therefore, more than 'sick and tired' of special interest productions designed to support some Hollywood click's cause. A production, Hollywood or otherwise, designed to misguide the audience by devious manipulation of facts, a ploy intended to influence the ignorant majority and idiots, regarding some special interest cause, is not my idea of entertainment.
Therefore, I find this movie VERY ENTERTAINING EVERYTIME I WATCH IT! Isn't the ENJOYMENT FACTOR important too? I say, "Knock-off the BS and give me, and those like me, more movies like 'Laws of Attraction."
[..] Isn't the primary purpose of a movie to entertain its audience? I say, "This movie does exactly that; it will entertain you and that it's worthy of its purchase price and is a good investment towards one's serach for a little enjoyment!"
Why not purchase this DVD, sit back with a favoriate beverage to sip, relax a little, and enjoy this delightful romantic comedy? I can't guarantee that you will like it, but, I sincerely believe, that the odds highly favor you will.
