Sweet, delightful romantic comedy
17 June 2004
"Laws of Attraction" is the story of two high-powered New York divorce attorneys, Daniel Rafferty (Pierce Brosnan) and Audrey Woods (Julianne Moore) who are on opposite sides of a case involving a punk rocker and his estranged wife. The film seems to have very few lulls, but the lulls are still there. The film is concise and humorous, and after seeing her turgid turns in recent films like "Hannibal", "The Hours" and "Far From Heaven", it is nice to see Julianne Moore in a lighter role. The same goes for Brosnan, taking a respite from his globe-trotting superspy, James Bond. Frances Fisher offers deadpan support as Moore's aging mother. "Laws of Attraction" is a cute romantic farce very reminiscent of "Adam's Rib", the original battle-of-the sexes comedy with the classic pairing of Hepburn and Tracy. ***of****
