The Laws of Attraction

Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore team up for a predictable movie about two lawyers who spend more time lawyering each other than doing something for their clients. Moore is an uptight marital prosecutor and Brosnan a relaxed, marital, defense attorney who work on the same case involving a rock star's divorce. This leads them to London, or was it Scotland or Ireland, whatever. Anyway, they get drunk many times in the movie and end up married. Do they stay married?

This movie tried to be entertaining and I love Brosnan but I think his last best movie was The Thomas Crowne Affair and of course, as 007. Even though he sort of sported a little of the old Remington Steele charm, this movie was flat and needed something else to make it interesting. There wasn't much on-screen chemistry between the characters which leads me to question the casting of these two.

Even if you can't get enough of love stories, I'd pass on this one unless you're really drying to see a somewhat charming love story.

Worth the money rating: $$
