| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
Laws Of Attraction Movie Rating:  Unfunny Comedy
| |
| Audrey Miller (Julianne Moore) is a top Manhattan divorce attorney. In Movieland, that means she's wound too tightly, wears her hair up most of the time, never dates men, and really needs some dude to come along and "loosen her up." Enter Daniel Rafferty (Pierce Brosnan). He's a divorce lawyer, too, but the scruffy, disorganized, and virile kind. | |
| The two find themselves on opposing sides in the courtroom, but because they fall into bed early on in the film - she was begging for it, dontcha know - they spend most of that court time fighting about their relationship. And that's about it. This is the kind of unfunny comedy that paints heterosexual relationships with the broadest possible battle-of-the-very-traditional-sexes brush and substitutes wacky physical comedy for witty repartee. Its badly miscast stars - and unlucky audiences - deserve better. |
