Irish screenwriter, playwright, and director Gerard Stembridge's glib romantic comedy is a tale of familial sexual intrigue told from the multiple perspectives of three sisters and...
more...their brother. In stark contrast to rural cinematic visions of Ireland like WAKING NED DEVINE, Stembridge's story is set in a glittering, hiply urbane Dublin. Lucy Owens, (Kate Hudson) a waitress-cum-singer in a sleek cafe, has a romantic past littered with boyfriends, but not one great passion. Things change for the pretty singer when she meets the sexy, shy Adam (Stuart Townsend), whose sweetness charms both Lucy and her family. Behind the wide-eyed facade, however, Adam is a roguish serial seducer, who begins to work his magic on Lucy's repressed, bookish sister Laura (Frances O'Connor). With tragic flair, the sensual Adam recites poetry angling to get into the Victorian mind, heart and bed of Laura. Matters are further complicated when the oblivious Lucy proposes to the caddish chameleon, and her older, wiser sister, Alice (Charlotte Bradley) and brother, David, (Alan Maher) begin to suspect Adam's apparent perfection. Stembridge's farcical sexual romp features a young, talented cast and is a firmly tongue-in-cheek examination of sexual morality and family relationships.

Review of About Adam DVD by pixiedon

Advantages: Kate Hudson
Disadvantages: Stuart Townsend's character, Adam

...a film on BBC2 called About Adam. Described as a romantic comedy featuring Kate Hudson, I figured it was my kind of thing so I recorded it for later viewing. The following afternoon I was at a loose end so I settled down on the sofa and started to watch the film. The film started off so well - it made me think "Yes, this is my kind of film" and "Ooh I'd marry him if he did that". Later I wanted to kick the screen, more specifically Townsend's ... Read review

Review of About Adam DVD by fabulous_girl

Advantages: Stuart Townsend-Thats it, I kid you not
Disadvantages: No plot, unconvincng accents, attempts to be arty

...telling me what I was about to see, and so this may have something to do with what I thought…Utter tripe. I would warn you that there are plot spoilers coming up, but as there is no plot, and I strongly advise all of you not to bother with this film, we are safe to continue with me spoiling the decidedly-non-plot of this film ***"Storyline"*** *(note inverted commas) About Adam is set in Dublin, and stars Stuart Townsend (yes please) as Adam, ...
