Overrated

The acting in this movie is really good.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Sooooooo amazing and underrated. I've watched it dozens of times and I never get sick of it. Jon Favreau is also one of my favorite actors. He's so funny! He and Famke Jensen have an amazing chemistry in this film. It seems so real and genuine, like a lot of things you can relate to and understand. One of my favorite scenes is when Kate comes home and Adam asks her to fill him a tub. I love it! :) Another one is when they are out shopping, walking down the street and they start an argument about who looks better when they age, men or women. Anyways if you've never seen I obviously highly recommend it.

This is a very obvious chick flick , so obvious that any criticisms I have will no doubt be superfluous since the writer/director is female the protagonist and her POV is entirely from a female perspective while the target audience is unashamedly 20 something Cosmopolitan readerThere was something niggling me while I was watching LOVE AND SEX and that was the casting of Famke Janssen . She's not bad in the role as Kate Welles , it's just that the way Kate is written and played that I couldn't help thinking that Sandra Bulloch was the original casting choice such are the mannerisms and physical similarities between the two actresses .One problem with the screenplay is the way it's fractured . It's that same feeling you get with WHEN HARRY MET SALLY and KRAMER VERSUS KRAMER it feels rather disjointed as the action jumps around and is anyone else getting fed up with people doing DeNiro impressions ? But still this film wasn't marketed for men so maybe I should leave the real reviews to 20 something Cosmopolitan readers

This movie contained so many truism's in some exaggerated scenarios, but the blend made for moments that you could identify with and others that were for sheer entertainment value. If you have ever dated,fallen in love, and wondered if you would find "the one" this movie takes you down this road for an enjoyable trip!!!The lead character Kate is definitely a woman who is letting her 'inner child'take the lead when it comes to dating...that is until she meets Adam. He is unconventional, honest, and has a great sense of humor--so naturally he is her new best friend. The friendship, relationship, and appreciation they have for one another makes you evaluate the quality of relationships; and as a result you either appreciate what kind of relationships you have or long for what you could have. A movie that will make you think & giggle!

The screenplay was witty and had a sense of true comedic timing.The movie only showcases a bit of what the screenplay held.Valerie Breiman wrote a fantastic script, but her direction was somewhat lacking, and I felt that the actors did the best they could with what she gave them. There were some elements of great comedy, but the timing was just a BIT off. A more experienced director could have played up the many one liners and the countless funny moments from Kate's love life. The ending just sort of showed up, which was disappointing, and she could have worked more of the new article deadline into the story. And unfortunately, the one serious moment in the story (which was acted very well) was too short and it could have been explored more, and could have exhibited itself further in the story as something like that affects someone very deeply, even Kate.Jon Favreau is a very funny man and from what I've seen a pretty good actor. Famke Janssen, while best known as the best bad Bond Girl and Jean Grey from X-men, isn't known for her acting ability, having taken some roles in some very VERY bad movies. However, I think almost each and every time she makes a movie she gets better and better. This was the first time I'd seen her play something other than the one dimentional characters from her previous roles. I think that in 'Love and Sex' and also in the new 'X-2 X-Men United' she's starting to show some real acting chops, some true depth, indicating that she's more than just a former-model-turned-actress cliche. She turned out some very very funny scenes, but the director as I said earlier just missed out on the very jokes she had written. Hopefully, Ms. Janssen will start to get some meatier roles to play, based on the potential she showed here and the heart and soul she's brought to a comic book character for crying out loud. But that's another review and a completely different type of movie. I'd like to see her do more comedy.Ms. Brieman gave a decent 1st time out movie, it just could have been so much more. I still really enjoyed it and if I had the money I'd go buy it. I got the humor, and appreciated it, even though it was poorly put on the screen. Maybe its because I'm just as neurotic as Kate and Adam.
