Audrey Woods (Julianne Moore) is a hopelessly uptight insecure but highly successful divorce lawyer who never dates and obsessively watches the weather channel. Daniel Rafferty (Pierce Brosnan) is a hot shot arrogant lawyer who just returned to town. She hates to be attracted to the ladies man, but they keep bumping into each other in court.Julianne Moore is overplaying this stumbling lawyer character. She's a high power lawyer filled with neuroses. It's like Julianne is trying to do an impersonation of Sandra Bullock. They might as well get Sandra to play this. Julianne is ill fitting for the role.The rom-com story is nothing special. This type of movie is wholly dependent on the two leads. Moore and Brosnan are not the most likely rom-com leads. That's where this movie failed. They are more suited for more serious movies. This is too light weight for them.It's a perfectly fine rom-com for somebody else. They also should cut down on the montages. It's lazy story telling.

Julianne Moore and Pierce Brosnan freshly pair up in McKenna's splendid 'Laws of Attraction'. It is sort of an unusual romantic comedy set partly in America and partly in Ireland. Moore and Brosnan are a delight to watch, especially how their love story unfolds in the courtroom. Brosnan is great at playing the Irishman (as he also proved in 'Evelyn') perhaps because he is one. Moore keeps proving what an incredibly versatile actress she is as she shows a flair for comedy. But it is the scenes between Frances Fisher and Julianne Moore that I enjoyed watching the most. The movie has some great punchlines the best of which are delivered by Fisher. Lending hilarious support are Michael Sheen as a rockstar and Parker Posey as his fashion designer wife. The Irish scenes may be a little clichéd and 'touristy' but nonetheless fun to watch. On the flip side, 'Laws of Attraction' felt a bit rushed in parts and the plot could have been better developed. However, that doesn't stop it from making the viewers laugh out loud and root for Daniel and Audrey to succeed in their fun romantic adventure.

The movie wasn't that appealing to me the first time around ... but at the second viewing, I liked it more. It's a fast paced, dialog heavy and funny movie. It has it's weak points, but the humor and the good chemistry (between Brosnan and Moore).What almost brings it down (apart from the flaws in the script/story) is that it's too long. It also starts fast but slows down, after a "climax" scene between the two leads. The subplot with Michael Sheen and Parker Posey is overblown too (although it does have it's right to be there, for metaphorical reasons). If you can overlook those failings than you will be able to enjoy this romantic comedy! :o)

Parker Posey actually steals some major money scenes as the designer wife of a philandering rock star in this quick witted comedy that pits two of Newyork's high profile divorce lawyers (Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore) at each other wits. Audrey Woods (Moore) is an overworked, over zealous, over praised and over achieving career woman at the top of her game. That is until she meets her match in Daniel Rafferty (Brosnan) an equally established but slight eccentric professional much like herself, when he is hired by her clients soon-to-be ex husband. From the minute the two lawyers meet, sparks fly and neither one of them seems to be able to hold down their side of the case at hand as they juggle inevitable falling in love, and a drunken shotgun marriage that takes place during their visit to their clients estate in Ireland. The most enjoyable scenes for me were those in which a not so far fetched Parker Posey plays Serena to a pulp. The ever interesting Frances Fisher also does her share of co-starring as Sara Miller, Audrey's Page six seeking mother. It's all very funny, charming and quite entertaining. The wardrobe people deserve an applause as well for making Moore and Bronsnan look even better than ever and the directing was on par as well.
