    This is the kind of crap I really hate. But I didn't hate this...either because of the hilarious oirish stereotypes, or maybe I've just got a thing for Julianne Moore. You decide.
  • July 11, 2007
    Nothing particularly special and also totally predictable right from the start but overall somewhat witty and definitely worth watching when you don't want to do too much thinking.
  • November 5, 2006
    The dialogue is hit-and-miss, and the plot, short on surprises.

    Critics didn't like this movie...but I believe this is a really smart film. Good writing. Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore are perfectly cast as two rival divorce lawyers who...surprise...fall in love. The chemistry between Brosnan and Moore is awesome. Good date movie!

    Nice chemistry and a good mix of cast but it falls apart about halfway through.
  • November 20, 2009
    I really liked this romantic comedy. It was really well done.

    This was cute. I didn't mind it. Very predictable, but that is what you expect when you are going to watch a chick flick.

    Love this movie Julianne Moore is a really good actress & Pierce Brosnan is a good actor & he's adorable. :) Just a really enjoyable movie. :)

    nicey nice in the legal world of divorce... Julianne Moore & Pierce Brosnan were fantastic together - I felt their chemistry...
  • August 5, 2009
    I only put it on because I didn't want to think. It was late, I could feel weariness rising and knew in an hour I'd be really tired so I didn't want to put on the 2 and a half hour arthouse. I asked my sister if she had anything light hearted.

Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

Watch Hepburn and Tracy in Adam's Rib. It's very something. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

It's not awful, but it feels tired, like it's just another in a long line of cookie-cutter movies about pretty people. full review

April 30, 2004
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

[The leads] really deserved more from the director, Peter Howitt and co-writers Aline Brosh McKenna and Robert Harling, who among them come up with less than one serviceable screenplay. full review

April 29, 2004
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

[The cast and crew] are all victims of a script of such colossal banality and gross stupidity that smiles freeze on their faces, leaving them looking trapped and desperate, much like the audience. full review

April 29, 2004
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

The efforts of the cast are not enough to lift Laws of Attraction above the cautious banality of a midseason replacement sitcom. full review

April 29, 2004
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Laughably predictable and lamentably unfunny. full review
