Laws Of Attraction (2004)

A high powered divorce lawyer (Julianne Moore) takes an immediate dislike to the opposing attorney (Pierce Brosnan) in a divorce case. Though the antagonism in the courtroom finds its way out of the courtroom, it's only a matter of time before they fall in love. Directed by Peter Howitt (SLIDING DOORS), this by the numbers romantic comedy offers no surprises and leans heavily on the appeal of its two leads. It's a time waster of a movie, the kind of movie you watch on an airplane to kill time or watch on cable when you can't sleep. I know that makes the film sound godawful but it isn't, not really. These kinds of movies serve a purpose and it's not painful to sit through at all, far from it. It's innocuous and harmless, the stars are attractive and the Irish locations are handsomely shot by Adrian Bidle (ALIENS). With Michael Sheen, Parker Posey, Frances Fisher and Nora Dunn.
