Loads of talent do not a story make up for
It’s great to see Julianne Moore in a comedy role again, reminding us of the not inconsiderable range of her talents. Laws of Attraction is a rather well-worn comedy though that lacks sparkle. Two top divorce layers battle it out and eventually get romantic about each other. If the script sizzled it might be able to hold a candle, but it doesn’t – which is a great shame given the great performances (Pierce Brosnan also does well, appearing far less wooden than in his James Bond roles). The whole film has a rather contrived feel to it that no amount of acting talent can salvage. Throwing in a bit of Irish countryside seems gratuitous in the extreme, a bit of cutesiness for the American box-office.
This is a Romantic Comedy???????????
Whatever happened to the classic romantic comedies of yore with characters who have names like Holly Golightly? “Laws of Attraction” has to be one of the oddest romantic comedies ever churned out by the mills of Hollywood. The film’s premise is that in the course of their high-profile cases as adversaries, two hardboiled divorce attorneys fall in love! But the courtroom scenes are unpleasant, and the two leads (Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore) both seem uncomfortable in their roles. (Burt Reynolds and Diane Keaton might have provided more chemistry and more laughs.) Another curious casting choice was Frances Fisher playing Julianne Moore’s mother. In their scenes together, they looked like sisters, not mother-and-daughter. But the main problem of this film was the strained effort to parlay the courtroom divorce scenes into a payoff of romantic comedy. The writers and producers of this film should have taken a look at our culture and seen that divorce is not a fruitful ground for romance, and it is not a laughing matter.
