The Laws of Attraction

Film Review

So, The Laws of Attraction is a little romantic comedy from 2004. It doesn't redefine the genre or change anyone's life but it is certainly entertaining. Brosnan and Moore play off each other well and engage in some fun banter. It's certainly good to see two actors in their 40s rather than teenagers declaring their undying love for each other. You can tell that both the leads are having a lot of fun with the silly comedy and verbal sparring and there are some interesting moments where they get to do a tiny bit of proper acting. The plot is very predictable but that's actually part of the film's charm, We know these two characters are going to end up together at the end, but it's fun to watch them finally get there. A film that isn't going to win any awards but a fun little 90 minute film that will give you a laugh.

Julianne Review

I just love Julianne in this film, she is so famous for her dramatic roles that it's great to see her having fun and mucking around. She reminds me of Diane Keaton with her flakey behaviour. She works so well with Pierce Brosnan, I really want to see them do soemthing else together. I really enjoyed drunk Julianne. She handles the physical comedy well and she is in top form when talking to herself, either stuck in a toilet cubicle panicking or complaining about it being "Tuesday". I think you really appreciate her performance when you think about her more dramatic roles and how likeable she appears in this film.

Favourite Julianne Moment

As much as I love when she is complaining about the fact it's Tuesday, I have to choose a tiny little moment when she is in the caravan. Her character Audrey complains about being the gangly daughter of a beautiful mother. Even with a comedy character, Julianne is able to make Audrey real, she had a childhood and she has insecurities just like we all do and that makes her relationship with Brosnan's Daniel all the more believable.
