KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Cagri Ozturk Overall, the movie is cute.Pierce Brosnan is handsome and can act some.Julianne Moore does her job well, but it's not a very hard job to begin with. She plays the role of an educated woman who uses her career as an excuse to run away from serious romance. She gets to be humiliated a substantial lot by James Bond. If I were a woman, I'd throw something on the screen and left the theater in the first half of the movie.The script goes through the list of must-haves of romantic comedies.You won't miss anything if you skip this one.
Python Hyena Laws of Attraction (2004): Dir: Peter Howitt / Cast: Pierce Brosnan, Julianne Moore, Parker Posey, Michael Sheen, Frances Fisher: Finally a romantic comedy that celebrates marriage. Too bad that it couldn't celebrate a decent screenplay to go with it. Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore play divorce attorneys who, after a drunken evening, wake up with wedding bands on their fingers. The concept has appeal despite obvious formula elements and a totally contrived ending where people end up at particular places at just the right time. Directed by Peter Howitt who previously made Sliding Doors. While this film may be viewed as lacking the creative impulses of Sliding Doors, but it focuses on two strong central characters that elevate the material. Brosnan and Moore are a perfect match and survive the standard predictable storytelling. She is frustrated because she cannot figure out his confidence especially since he lives a rather untidy lifestyle. Supporting roles serve strictly as mindless props with annoying characteristics. Parker Posey plays a fashion designer getting divorced from Michael Sheen, a reckless rock star and both are horribly over the top. It is truly unfortunate with marriages ending too young nowadays, that a film promoting the union of husband and wife be placed within such juvenile material. Here we have a marriage theme that is apparent within a film that will attract fans of the genre. Score: 6 / 10
Kaitlin Donovan (tinybubbles8611) I absolutely loved this movie, Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore are the perfect on-screen couple! I personally bought this movie and watch it a lot, I watch it so much the DVD is getting messy. I am only 15 but a complete movie fanatic! Pierce Brosnan is to die for with his "Bond-like" charming ways when faced with a female co-star. No two people could have played these roles so well, (Except maybe Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn). Either way these two kept making me want more. I'm not one for much conversation, the film kept me spell bound, scene after scene it dragged me more in. I am also looking forward to one of Julianne's newest roles in the movie "Trust A Man", co-staring with David Duchovny (Another one of my favorites).
arieliondotcom Unless you're a woman into romance novels, or a man who is dating (and in the company of a woman who reads romance novels and who will pay you some...cough, cough...special attention...wink, wink, nod, nod...for sitting through this thing, stay away. It is another fantasy role for Brosnan along the lines of his Bond films. He is in all his cardboard, jawflexing (who wrote that into acting school that every actor must flex his jaw muscles when feeling contemplative?!) glory. Tossle-haired fantasy fodder for females but oh so boring for men. Unless you have a "think" for Juliette Moore, men should stay away (her teeth are the most revealing part of her body and the flashiest part of her acting in the whole film).The script has more holes than a pierced teenage rocker. As someone pointed out in the message boards, two top lawyers fail to notice that little strings on their fingers don't mean legally married without paperwork somewhere. The mother, who has been insisting the daughter never introduce her as her mother and has said how hot she thinks the husband-to-be (Brosnan) is immediately introduces herself to him as "the mother." Just poor writing all around. Maybe if the alternate script and plots on the DVD are as good as another commenter has said it might be worthwhile viewing but I'd never spend money on the risk (I saw this on cable).So, if you're into fantasy fluff, and have nothing else to do, Pierce Brosnan will get you through the film as painlessly as possible. But other than that, as James Bond would tell you, he's Bland...plain bland.
