5.0 out of 5 stars Mature, sweet and funny, Jun 26 2007

This review is from: Laws of Attraction (DVD)

I agree that it is far too rare these days for Hollywood to depict a romance between older adults. It is also rare to find a movie that does not depict explicit sex and/or violence, or provide "humour" that is not juvenile or foul-mouthed. Thankfully, this movie is a rare treat.
It is a sweet, character-driven romantic comedy full of witty dialogue and amusing personality clashes. The leads are superb, though I would go so far as to wish Frances Farmer had a bigger part, she did such a great job as Julianne Moore's mother. Also, I laughed out loud at every scene with the sharp-tongued judge! She was spot-on!
I have heard some people criticize Julianne Moore's character as being too insecure and neurotic to be a lawyer. My response is to say that this is a movie, and a comedy no less, so naturally all character traits are exaggerated for comic effect. One might as well complain that Pierce Brosnan's character is too slovenly to be a real lawyer as well. This is entertainment, not a social studies class!
I watched this movie with my mother, and both of us enjoyed it a great deal. Now, if only Hollywood would produce more movies for an audience over the age of 18, I would go to the cinema more often!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well executed fun formula, Sep 13 2010

This review is from: Laws of Attraction (DVD)

Audrey Woods (Julianne Moore) is a high-powered divorce attorney who never lost a case. She chooses to use the high road method. Seems she is up against a ruffled, anything goes method divorce attorney, Daniel Rafferty (Pierce Brosnan) that she knows nothing about. Soon the know more about each other than they want. After a rousing night and a tad, too much liquor they end up married. If anyone finds out then they will have to stay married to save his/her respective careers. Oh, no what is this on page six f the newspaper?

The story is a formula situation comedy. We can pretty much guess the different situations. However, what set this movie apart from many of the others are both the excellent actors and some pretty good one-liners. Pierce gets to be or play Irish and does well. Julianne as Audrey can stare straight through you. Any of the other characters were also three-dimensional. Frances Fisher as Sara Miller really stirs the pot.

I love this movie. Pierce Brosnan is one of my favorite actors and he is so laid back in this light comedy/romance. Great chick flick.
