Laws Of Attraction DVD

Advantages: A charming feel-good movie, actors have chemistry
Disadvantages: A swiss cheese plot, slightly cheesy "chick-flic"

When an undefeated divorce lawyer meets up with another undefeated divorce lawyer, someone's going to be the loser. But when it's Daniel Rafferty who meets up with Audrey Woods, there are going to be more things lost than just case or two - but there also might be something (non-judicial) to be won as well. Pierce Brosnan plays the part of Daniel Rafferty - who is a whip the courtroom but a wimp with his personal appearance. Julianne Moore is cast ...
...has barely a whimper of a personal life. When the two of them meet up on opposite sides of the table, you know that something's got to give. Whoever came up with the idea of putting these two actors alongside one another, must have known that it would seem an unlikely combination. And yet, it works, despite the fact that the first thing you'll probably think when you hear the name Pierce Brosnan is "James Bond". Afterwards you'll probably think ... Read review

Advantages: Good actors
Disadvantages: Average and unoriginal in all respects

As soon as they meet they hate each other, but circumstances conspire to bring them together and they slowly warm to each other.

All Audrey wants to do is get an annulment, but Daniel ...
...the fun really begins. Director Peter Howitt is responsible for one of my favourite guilty film pleasures of the past few years; “Sliding Doors”. It was hardly the most original rom-com the world has ever seen, but it’s very enjoyable and so I keep coming back to it. So I was hoping for a similar treat in the shape of the “Laws of Attraction” but the film fails to set the screen alight. It takes one of the oldest romantic comedy staples (the chalk-and-cheese ...

Advantages: Frivolous and inoffensive
Disadvantages: Wooden acting, lack of chemistry, tired concept

It's gradually become more difficult to make a good romantic film in recent years. Everything's been done time and time again, and this film just proves that point. The hackneyed theme of this film is that two divorce lawyers, one a super-efficient lady (Julianne Moore) and another a sort-of maverick (Pierce Brosnan), are supposed to be pitted against each other on either side of a bitter divorce case but gradually fall in love, helped along by an ...
...from the moment you see the trailer. However this is always the case with romantic films, and so the destination of the film is not important - it's how you get there that matters. However, this film fails there too. The sad fact is that this film was badly mis-cast. Pierce Brosnan's acting is too slow for him to provideany humour to the film, and there is no chemistry between him and Julianne Moore. Which is obviously fatal for any romantic film. ...

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: None

Audery Woods (Julianne Moore) and Daniel Rafferty (Pierce Brosnan) are the best divorce attorneys in New York. However, it turns out to be a little more than that. I'd like to call it a somewhat love, hate relationship. They begin hating one another as they are a fierce and feisty competition to each other as well as having very different views. But...as time goes on well, they say opposites attract...They obviously fall in love or is it just a stupid ...
...their love for one another, the question is, is it true love or just a game? While Audrey Woods stuffs her face with Snowballs due to anxiety and tension we wonder weather she can handle Rafferty and the intense competition as well as the public pressure. After a celebrity couple get both Woods and Rafferty on their cases, Rafferty and Woods somehow end up in Ireland together, married! How? Well you'll just have to find out! This is a great film ...
