Audrey Woods (Julianne Moore) and Daniel Rafferty (Pierce Brosnan) are rival divorce lawyers who are complete opposites: She relies on the law, while he relies on personality. They are hired to represent opposing sides of a celebrity divorce case involving a rock star (Michael Sheen), a dress designer (Parker Posey) and a custody dispute over an Irish castle. Audrey and Daniel wind up in Ireland together, where, to their astonishment, sparks fly between them.

Antonia Quirke London Evening Standard Surely the first law of attraction is that Pierce Brosnan isn't. This is the man who turned James Bond into the kind of guy who owns a juicer. Dec 14, 2017 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media There's no reason to see this movie. Rated: 1/5 Dec 25, 2010 Full Review Peter Rainer New York Magazine/Vulture The actors work hard to concoct some chemistry, but it's tough to be Tracy and Hepburn, let alone Doris Day and Rock Hudson, when you're trying to get your mouth around lines that wouldn't pass muster on a UPN sitcom. Aug 7, 2004 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens A smart, sexy, witty film designed for the more mature movie-goer. Reminiscent of Hepburn and Tracy, the verdict is in on Moore and Brosnan. 12-0. We've got a winner. Nov 15, 2019 Full Review Kaleem Aftab The List The predictable fare will make you want to divorce your bum from the cinema seat. Rated: 1/5 Apr 18, 2019 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Pitched as a homage to George Cukor's 1949 classic romantic comedy "Adam's Rib" (with Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy), "Laws of Attraction" is far separated from that film's exceptional timing and sincere comic exploration of a competitive couple of Rated: C May 8, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Gabriel A Um filme de comédia e romance divertido e agradável de assistir. A dupla protagonista é essencialmente diferente um do outro e a atuação de Julianne Moore e Pierce Brosnan refletem muito bem isso. Como casal Moore e Brosnan não tem uma química tão fantástica, mas como rivais, que se odeiam e se gostam ao mesmo tempo, funcionam bem. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Luxury H Wonderful movie. Funny and Romantic. Many times watched. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/24 Full Review jack s Laws Of Attraction simply doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same paragraph as the Tracy/Hepburn classic a lot of the critics compared it with so, I won't mention that film's title here. The two leads are certainly attractive, but neither they nor the script generates any sparks. In fact, nothing memorable or very amusing happens on-screen during the brief running time, except perhaps for a nice supporting turn by Fisher (who looks much too young here to be Moore's mother). Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member this is the best movie ever and one of my favs and i dont know how people rated low Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Two wonderful actors in a film that doesn't quite fill the screen. It could have been better. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review steve d Rule one should be find actors with chemistry. Rule 2 don't copy a better film's script. They didn't follow ether. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
