Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Keira Brennan
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This is a very obvious chick flick , so obvious that any criticisms I have will no doubt be superfluous since the writer/director is female the protagonist and her POV is entirely from a female perspective while the target audience is unashamedly 20 something Cosmopolitan readerThere was something niggling me while I was watching LOVE AND SEX and that was the casting of Famke Janssen . She's not bad in the role as Kate Welles , it's just that the way Kate is written and played that I couldn't help thinking that Sandra Bulloch was the original casting choice such are the mannerisms and physical similarities between the two actresses .One problem with the screenplay is the way it's fractured . It's that same feeling you get with WHEN HARRY MET SALLY and KRAMER VERSUS KRAMER it feels rather disjointed as the action jumps around and is anyone else getting fed up with people doing DeNiro impressions ? But still this film wasn't marketed for men so maybe I should leave the real reviews to 20 something Cosmopolitan readers

A funny, captivating film. Honest in its approach to portray the difference between people and true love. We all make connections we people through relationships but we may not always make the right decision at the right time. It may make you at crazy, but when you've been 'cheese sandwiched' then you will know that you don't want anymore. If you want to experience someone else's view on love and sex watch it, you might love it or hate it, either because you think its rubbish or because you might not like what its saying. But we all do it so why not humour yourself, after all were all looking for that one connection, the one piece of comfort we find in this ever lonelier world. -A bit deep? well its only an opinion!

I warmed to this indie-Bridget Jones story of modern love. The message is delivered briskly and with wit and the stars don't overact. It makes no attempt to be or say anything profound - the narration of the story is a dictated article for a magazine on the periphery of superfluous. As a result the film actually gains in its interest and affect.John Favreau's bohemian foil for Famke Janssen's more mainstream female singleton is full of wit and genuine affection. It helps that his character is leftfield, re-freshing all the otherwise tired cliches of being in love in a supposed age of awareness. Janssen makes a good stab at frenetic/vulnerable but looking for love. She doesn't quite know how to really get the former however. It looks rather like she has made a cutely domesticated attempt though - I don't think any professional is going to own up to her 'make up' which is self-applied if at all; and look at her 'costume' when she first appears. There is little attention to the over-pressed detail of everything being bought 20 minites before filming started!Despite the excellent on-screen crackle of their intimacy, Janssen is an iconic presence more suited for the blockbuster (although I'd love to see Haeneke get his hands on her in Europe). As for the film, give it to your sister for Christmas and no-one loses face. 5.5/10

The screenplay was witty and had a sense of true comedic timing.The movie only showcases a bit of what the screenplay held.Valerie Breiman wrote a fantastic script, but her direction was somewhat lacking, and I felt that the actors did the best they could with what she gave them. There were some elements of great comedy, but the timing was just a BIT off. A more experienced director could have played up the many one liners and the countless funny moments from Kate's love life. The ending just sort of showed up, which was disappointing, and she could have worked more of the new article deadline into the story. And unfortunately, the one serious moment in the story (which was acted very well) was too short and it could have been explored more, and could have exhibited itself further in the story as something like that affects someone very deeply, even Kate.Jon Favreau is a very funny man and from what I've seen a pretty good actor. Famke Janssen, while best known as the best bad Bond Girl and Jean Grey from X-men, isn't known for her acting ability, having taken some roles in some very VERY bad movies. However, I think almost each and every time she makes a movie she gets better and better. This was the first time I'd seen her play something other than the one dimentional characters from her previous roles. I think that in 'Love and Sex' and also in the new 'X-2 X-Men United' she's starting to show some real acting chops, some true depth, indicating that she's more than just a former-model-turned-actress cliche. She turned out some very very funny scenes, but the director as I said earlier just missed out on the very jokes she had written. Hopefully, Ms. Janssen will start to get some meatier roles to play, based on the potential she showed here and the heart and soul she's brought to a comic book character for crying out loud. But that's another review and a completely different type of movie. I'd like to see her do more comedy.Ms. Brieman gave a decent 1st time out movie, it just could have been so much more. I still really enjoyed it and if I had the money I'd go buy it. I got the humor, and appreciated it, even though it was poorly put on the screen. Maybe its because I'm just as neurotic as Kate and Adam.
