    I rated this movie already. Hmmmm....that's strange!! Well, this is a great movie/paraody that centralizes on various themes: dating, love, men vs. women, and relationships. Tons of laughter! Great cast! A must-see!

    Mars Callahan did a great job with Poolhall Junkies. However, his follow up film, What Love Is, is a misfire. He had a really good idea here, but didn't execute it correctly. The dialog is very good. Callahan echoes David Mamet and Ed Burn type of dialog. The film feels like a st...( read more)age play. He didn't need to do fancy camera work and editing techniques in the film. I found those techniques distracting. Especially the segment, where the actresses morph into strippers and dance. To me that was not necessary at all. Some of the actors are miscast, especially Cuba Gooding Jr. and Matthew Lillard. However, Gina Gershon, Anne Heche, Mars Callahan, Sean Astin, Tamala Jones, and Shiri Appleby shine in this film. I am hoping Callahan's next film will be more like Poolhall Junkies than this film.

    Good film, great performances. It felt like a play, sort of David Mamet-esque at some points.

    Excellent movie with great performances by everyone. The only downer was the foul language got tiresome after the first 30 minutes. It was good to see Matthew Lilliard in a 'grown-up' role but his script was the most offensive. Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Sean Astin were terrific. ...( read more)
    The dialogue moves very very fast and the timing of the actors is dead-on. What I thought was going to be a romantic comedy (Boring!) turned out to be a great guys vs. gals flic. wonderful!

    seems more of a theatre play than a movie to me. I like some of the dialogues, but overall, it's just too much of that. Not my kind of movie.
