July 14, 2007This 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, 2007Nothing 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.

October 12, 2009Critics 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!

February 28, 2009Nice chemistry and a good mix of cast but it falls apart about halfway through.

November 10, 2009This was cute. I didn't mind it. Very predictable, but that is what you expect when you are going to watch a chick flick.

August 5, 2009I 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.

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

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

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

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Laughably predictable and lamentably unfunny. full review
