Film: Laws of Attraction Cast: Pierce Brosnan, Julianne Moore Director: Peter Howitt This is a movie which requires a good memory. If you want to watch this then prepare yourself, drink prime milk or any brain enhancer medicines days before you plan to watch so you won´t forget the story. This is a forgettable romantic comedy with adorable actors but senseless or shall I say cliché story. In short, this is a case wherein Bad movies happen to Good actors. It is about Audrey Woods (Julianne Moore) and Daniel Rafferty (Pierce Brosnan) as two high-powered divorce attorneys in New York. She is a stereotypically driven working woman who favors business suits, and has forsaken any hope of marriage for a successful law career and she has never lost a case. Daniel, on the other hand, is a romantic and also has never lost a case. They first meet on the opposite sides of the aisle in a divorce case and soon find themselves frequent opponents. Then they accidentally get drunk and find themselves sleep together, even though they hate each other. They go to Ireland to locate the Castle of Rock in which both their clients want to claim and again accidentally, they sleep together and worst, they get married. And they just can´t get divorce because they are divorce attorneys and it may ruin their reputations. Then they realize that they are in love with each other and they get married. That´s all. There is no fresh or new or challenging part in the story because it is, as I´ve said a while ago, a cliché story. It does not have a plot actually because there are many senseless, unimportant, and weak scenes that are not actually needed in the film. There are trying hard to be funny scenes which actually are not funny. There are also scenes that do not help in the development of the characters. It is like reading Filipino romance novels. I am not sure of the target audience of this film. If the director of this film, who is Peter Howitt, thinks that this film will leave the audience teary-eyed and wishing they were on screen, he is definitely wrong because this movie sucks. Why hire Julianne Moore for a Britney Spears premise? I mean, Julianne Mooreś characteristic or role in the movie is a divorce lawyer who does not know her actions. I mean, the sex and married thing. It´s like Britney Spears right? And the shocking part in the story is the dialogue of Pierce Brosnan while talking to Moore ¨When you love someone you should be unselfish enough to give them whatever they want.¨ My head wants to blow upon hearing Pierce Brosnan delivering a line such as that. In fairness, the actors are good, of course. I love Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore, reason why I really watch the movie. If you consider yourself as an avid fan of Pierce and Julianne like me, there is a good reason for you to overlook the film´s obvious shortcomings: the duo are really great together. If given another chance to do another movie not like Laws of Attraction, they will surely deliver something truly special. They are really good actors who are stuck in a movie that is not as good as they are. If you still want to watch this movie, then go on. I am sure that after you watch it, you will surely find this movie guilty for being a crappy movie. Brecil M. Kempis
