Yay, "Laws of Attraction" is a good movie, despite having many romantic clichés and not being funny.The way the lawyers were portrayed here was very realistic and Julianne Moore gives a perfect acting.I was about to rate this movie very high, but after Rafferty's statement about the four million check, the movie died for me. It was the most unethical a counselor could have done, it disgusted me as a law student. And it disgusted even more that Audrey forgave this and got back with him.Also, the marriage thing looked very amateur to me. If their wedding in Ireland was just in church, how would the American media (and justice) consider them "legally bound" if they didn't sign any contract at all?But over all, the movie is quite interesting and worth a watch ;)

Pierce Brosnan carries himself no-less than a Bond. He shines, he rules.In all honesty, I was expecting a bit more punch in terms of performance from Julianne Moore. Sadly she disappoints and pouts!!Michael Sheen, until the credits rolled by I couldn't make out that it was Mr. Blair/ Mr. Frost.The story starts off pretty well but somewhere between the steam goes low. Nonetheless, its not a bad film for an one-time watch and there is enough humour to keep glued to the seats.And of course, the Irishman uses this opportunity to market Ireland to the world - even if its not Tuesday!!!

I liked this movie. I picked it up in the 5 dollar bin at Wal-Mart and was surprised.If you're looking for an original comedy this isn't the one for you. The plot is predictable, but overall if you want to just see a cute film about goofy love, this isn't half bad. I wouldn't have spent nine dollars on a movie ticket for this one, but 5 dollars at Wal-Mart wasn't bad at all.I'm giving it a 7 because it was, overall, predictable but cute. Julianne Moore is wonderful and so is Pierce Brosnan and I don't even like him very much. It's a movie that doesn't try to hard to impress. It knows exactly what it is, a romantic comedy and doesn't try to get away from that. Once again, predictable but cute.

Audrey Woods is one of the best, nay, THE best divorce attorney in town. She has never lost a case and she is about to continue that winning streak with her latest case. When she meets her opposing counsel she has no reason to think that this scruffy man poses any threat to her. When he hands her her ass she steps up the competition and so begins a tense relationship in the courtroom. However outside of the court, the couple find a certain chemistry growing between them but surrounded by so many divorces and arguments how could anything good come of it?Billed as a big name romantic comedy in the mould of sparky screwball romances of the forties and fifties this comedy at times is great fun but at others falls terribly flat. Given what it was basing itself of it should be no surprise that the first half is the best with energetic duelling between the two leads. Later on the script has to deliver a believable romance out of this and here is where it really falters. It suddenly becomes this twinkly affair in Ireland where love blooms, although it doesn't really although it might. It is a difficult hurdle to get over and the film doesn't really manage it and the final third is deeply unconvincing and hard to care about as it mugs its way towards the inevitable conclusion. It is strange that McKenna's script is so slick when it is in the "banter" stage but so heavy with syrup and silly cliché towards the end, almost like all the talent was put into the first half, leaving nothing for the latter stages.Brosnan and Moore do try hard to make it work and mostly they succeed, but the material does gradually leave them out in the open. It helps that together they do manage an easy chemistry but later in the film they do struggle to convince with the more emotional side of the characters that exist outside of the fizz and snappy exchanges. Brosnan does well for the majority as he charms his way through but Moore can't seem to slide between the film's levels – she works with the snappy comedy stuff but when the emotional stuff comes she seems to drift between rom-com level acting and trying to go deeper. Support from Sheen, Posey, Fisher and a few others add some limited value around the edges but none can stop the script falling apart the longer it goes on.Overall then what starts as a reasonable hark back to screwball romances gradually turns into an unconvincing, silly and sentimental affair that not even the big name stars can keep above the water. Not really worth a look for that reason.
