Kate Wells is a beautiful and talented magazine writer who turns to her own life for inspiration when she is given an impossible assignment. Within twenty-four hours, Kate must write a single woman's guide to love and sex. A stranger to both since her break-up with Adam Levy, Kate conducts her research by recalling her many calamitous relationships with men, beginning with her first kiss and her first betrayal on the sixth-grade playground.

Critics Consensus

Famke Janssen's charm fails to rescue the movie from a dull screenplay.

It's slick, polished to perfection, derivative and stripped of any of the real quirks or idiosyncrasies that make a romantic comedy fly.

3.5/5

Love & Sex hasn't a strong, distinctive style, but what sets it a cut above many similar films is that for all its surface humor it has substance and emotional depth.

Janssen and Favreau provide enjoyably consoling company for those still dating their way through life.

This one tastes like a sour apple I had on a blind date many eons ago.

[S]trives for the meaningful exploration of how Xers sabotage their romances, and falls horribly flat...

The charming lead actors almost manage to make an insipid screenplay palatable. Still, there's enough rough edges in this indie romantic comedy to make it better than most -- which isn't saying much.

Cute film. Probably Valerie Breiman's best work. Famke Janssen did a good job and Favreau was very good impersonating writer/director Adam Rifkin, whom his character was based on.
