Interesteg What makes it different from others?

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Avinash Patalay Pierce Brosnan carries himself no-less than a Bond. He shines, he rules.In all honesty, I was expecting a bit more punch in terms of performance from Julianne Moore. Sadly she disappoints and pouts!!Michael Sheen, until the credits rolled by I couldn't make out that it was Mr. Blair/ Mr. Frost.The story starts off pretty well but somewhere between the steam goes low. Nonetheless, its not a bad film for an one-time watch and there is enough humour to keep glued to the seats.And of course, the Irishman uses this opportunity to market Ireland to the world - even if its not Tuesday!!!

Michael_Elliott Laws of Attraction (2004) ** (out of 4) Audrey Woods (Julianne Moore) is a very successful divorce attorney who spends most of her nights alone in her apartment eating junk food. Whenever she does get out of the house she's usually with her aging mother (Francis Fisher) who has had a few too many operations done to make her look younger. Audrey swears up and down that she isn't afraid of relationships but instead just can't get involved because she's too busy with her clients' needs.While taking on a major divorce case she meets her new opposing attorney, the very handsome Daniel Rafferty (Pierce Brosnan) who has yet to lose a case. The two don't strike it off too well but their jobs force them into a business dinner where they end up having too much to drink and eventually falling into bed. Audrey blames the booze but Daniel seems to want a relationship but when their case starts to break up so does the relationship. Soon the New York media has a spotlight on the two most powerful divorce attorneys who seem to be having their own fights behind the scenes.For starters let's get some personal feelings out into the air. To me, Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn were the greatest on-screen duo in the history of film. Their romantic comedies ranging from Adam's Rib to my personal favorite Woman of the Year are among the greatest films ever made and when watching this Adam's Rib wannabe I couldn't help but notice these romantic comedies haven't changed in sixty plus years. Once again we get an attractive couple fighting, screaming, fighting some more and then realizing they are in love.I'm certainly not a sourpuss but my God, could writers try to come up with at least one original idea when doing these types of films? Perhaps this genre has just been beaten to death so bad that those watching these films want the fighting then at the last minute makeup but to me watching films like this are becoming a very tiresome chore because by the time the opening credits are over there's really no point in watching the film because it's something you've seen countless times before. I'm not saying one should kill the other's family at the end of the movie but please, offer at least one thing that differs from the other twenty romantic comedies that are released each year.Is Laws of Attraction a horrible movie? No, none of these films ever are but I don't see the point in watching the same thing over and over. The only difference in these types of films are the leading actors and the success of raising the screenplay out of boredom lies on their shoulders. Pierce Brosnan is a very charming actor and certainly the best thing going for this film. He isn't offered much to do but he's charm and smile at least bring some freshness to this overdone film. Julianne Moore on the other hand has always left a sore spot with me. To me, Moore can either be brilliant or fall flat on her face and that's exactly what she does her. She brought nothing new to her character and didn't have half the charm of Brosnan.With the all too familiar story and the lack of any real chemistry between the stars there really isn't much left in the film. Francis Fisher is wasted in the tired role of an old hag who is constantly giving advice in between her plastic surgeries. Parker Posey, a wonderful character actress, comes off looking very bad in the role of a divorcée who has nothing to do but keep asking Brosnan to cut her husband's balls off. That certain male part is also a constant running joke throughout the movie and not once did it make me laugh or smile, which is a shame because I enjoy private jokes. In the end, if you walk into your local rental store and see Laws of Attraction on the shelf, run towards the classics area and pick up Adam's Rib or Woman of the Year.

elshikh4 OK ! We have (Pierce Brosnan) and (Julianne Moore) very well dressed, in so attractive shape, and presenting nice performance, while everything is as cool as it can be BUT sorry ! That was not enough at all ! Yes, it's artfully covered but as a swindle more than a real good work ! There were some clever characters and conflict but the makers of it nearly were relying on previous memorized prototypes only with slight touches (he isn't a womanizer or a lair, she loves the weather channel.. And that's it !) You'd feel hastiness and shortness, or just the thin surface of everything; maybe I knew some about HER life but with nothing about HIS ! Moreover you'd find the photo-montage in too many times and bad enough to waste a lot of good areas to make laughs or to focus on the incompatible characters (The courtroom's scenes, the relationship between the main couple in her flat after the Irish marriage, ..etc) just to abbreviate them all coldly and ridiculously in dull video clips ! So all the conversions of the characters like the rock singer who forgives his attorney easily to drive her quickly to her lover, or (Moore) who loves and forgives (Brosnan) maybe because the scriptwriter merely wants that !! As I didn't see her needing of him clearly despite her pride as a professional lawyer ! Even the funny lines seemed a few; there are some catchy ones but forgettable. The music was soft but naive. And all the atmosphere looked so poor which made me think that the whole sequence of Ireland was just to refresh the background and to add some cinematic flavor that can separate the movie from any TV's one ! Let alone a very rash happy end to a fake extent. How I hated the last scene with the judge which seemed tastelessly repeated, without a character, and quite provocative. Yes, it's the most known end of that kind of light love stories but the problem is that we didn't watch a complete love story before it in the first place for God's sake. I was watching some of MTV's or the movie's trailer not a movie ! I had successive gentle colorful scenes but they're all like a well made bubble, with all the emptiness inside. So at last we've been watching just 2 cute stars who have the shine and fervor but in a dim case, moving in a smooth images not good enough to build a convincing or entertaining movie. Actually (Laws Of Attraction) is a fair example of a false romantic comedy which makes the similar TV shows (Like "Pepper Dennis" for instance) look better indeed with all their solid details and leisurely events ! I don't like canned food.. so how about canned fake (Audrey Hepburn) and (Cary Grant)??!!

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.
