Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

FilmCreature "I like being depressed. It makes me feel deep and introspective."Famke Janssen is a joy to behold in this insightful, underrated portrait of an alarmingly cynical woman. 'Love & Sex' takes a refreshingly frank look at the politics of sex between two individuals. Janssen, whom I had only beheld in all her beauty in a few "meh" action flicks, puts mountains of charm and introspection into this performance.She plays Kate Welles, a jaded women's magazine columnist who finds trouble with her foulmouthed boss for writing an article with step-by-step instructions on oral sex ("When life sucks, so should you!") This pretty much sets the tone for the film, which contains no nudity but some explicit sexual dialogue.I'm not presenting this as a negative whatsoever. It's almost inspiring, in fact, seeing a romantic comedy (no matter how IFC it is) that is so candid about such matters.Roger Ebert, the best critic out there, gave the film a negative review, feeling that "In successful screen romance, there needs to be the sense that the partners are happy simply to be there with one another, that there is a physical yearning, and not simply the need to talk fast enough to stay ahead of the one-liners." I would agree, partially. 'Love & Sex' is not perfect, far from it. At times it can seem like a series of one-liners, but would you rather have a train of quick and biting one-liners for dialogue, or a wretched dredge through moronic cheeseball sentimentality? I prefer the former.Overall, 'Love & Sex' is a shrewd and funny mix of Woody Allen and 'Sex and the City', and I would recommend it to open-minded moviegoers looking a quick and pleasing comedy with satisfying bite.3/4

macvader999 Since seeing Swingers I have become a big John Favreau fan but Love & Sex was not one of his greatest movies. The basis of the film is all in the title: love and sex. Favreau plays artist Adam Levy who meets Kate Welles (Famke Janssen) at one of his art exhibits. Soon thereafter, they begin dating and enjoy frequent sex. At first, their relationship is nothing but great and passionate. But as time passes the passion naturally fades and, eventually, Adam decides to call it quits with Kate. Overall, the movie is filled with witty dialogue and some memorable scenes (like how Adam picks up Kate at the art exhibit) but didn't finish strongly enough. I'd say the first half of the film was genuinely funny while the second half struggled through a cliché-filled plot and predictable ending. Still, if you're a fan of jon favreau then I'd recommend this film but don't expect as many laughs as in Swingers or a cameo by Vince Vaughn.

yagerqueen I loved this movie- every one can relate on some level and the fact that both leads are not the 'most sexiest people alive' make it even better! I can't figure out why this movie didn't make it to the big movie theaters. With such a realistic approach to the way relationships work it's a shame not to many people have heard about this move. And women who watch it will laugh because we all have done the things the lead has done in relationships and it's nice to see it brought to the main stream, now I don't feel so neurotic! My honey and I even say 'cheese sandwich' you now! And you'll have to watch the movie to find out what that means... Enjoy the movie!

wldcat2345 Come on people, this is a Ro Co (romantic comedy, please we should all know the terminology by now). Are you seriously expecting some amazing, thought-provoking, inner-meaning "film"??? Surely not. You should, however, be expecting a make-you-laugh/make-you-smile kind of movie -- and you get just that. In fact, you get even more. Love & Sex is a witty, suspenseful (well as suspenseful as Ro Co's can be...but i might even go so far as to label it a SuRoCo...suspenseful romantic comedy obviously), realistic, and downright fun movie. In fact its not just witty, it's the kind of funny that makes you laugh so loud you later wonder if everyone else thought you laughed a little "too loud." but not to worry, you didn't, because it's just that fun. what separates it from average Ro Co's is its ability to accurately capture the not so bright side of relationships, but its this very honesty that makes it all the better in the end. So go rent it/buy it/re-enact it its worth it. It's definitely a top rate Ro Co in my book (and i WROTE the book on Ro Co's)
