was beautiful. It shows the glory of love, and the cute quips one may have, it shows how people REALLY get along when they live with eachother. They show life isn't a fairy tale, and it deems the truth of it. Overall, as bad as her morals were, but whose are good these days anyways but your grandmother, I think this is a worthwhile movie, at least for a chic nite.

women. Anyways if you've never seen I obviously highly recommend it.

same time, neither is the polar opposite of the sex stereotype which might itself actually be a play off of the expected . Framke is a semi-promiscuous, very sexy but also "too tall", somewhat depressive and quirky woman. Favreau is not very good looking which women, especially more intelligent and more experienced women tend to not care so much about , intense, highly intelligent, and if anything too oriented towards early commitment. At the same time he seems to have a very strong and experimental sex drive. All in all, he is in many ways what elite level late 90's women say at any rate they want the most in men.But Jon develops a problem. Though he fights against it, he is in fact life experience jealous of Framke's 13 as I remember against his rather amazing 3 . Both are very suppressed numbers, if you ask me. He stays with women he sleeps with for six years. She hasn't had a relationship that lasted longer than six weeks, other than her high school French teacher with a vanishingly small d**k . So one thing leads to another and they separate in a most friendly and civilized manner. Only to....It is the detailed and very honest character development which makes this movie -- what it is all about. In fact it is a very "French" American romantic comedy -- set within a quintessentially American idiom.I'd love to see many more like this.

deadline into the story. And unfortunately, the one serious moment in the story which was acted very well was too short and it could have been explored more, and could have exhibited itself further in the story as something like that affects someone very deeply, even Kate.Jon Favreau is a very funny man and from what I've seen a pretty good actor. Famke Janssen, while best known as the best bad Bond Girl and Jean Grey from X-men, isn't known for her acting ability, having taken some roles in some very VERY bad movies. However, I think almost each and every time she makes a movie she gets better and better. This was the first time I'd seen her play something other than the one dimentional characters from her previous roles. I think that in 'Love and Sex' and also in the new 'X-2 X-Men United' she's starting to show some real acting chops, some true depth, indicating that she's more than just a former-model-turned-actress cliche. She turned out some very very funny scenes, but the director as I said earlier just missed out on the very jokes she had written. Hopefully, Ms. Janssen will start to get some meatier roles to play, based on the potential she showed here and the heart and soul she's brought to a comic book character for crying out loud. But that's another review and a completely different type of movie. I'd like to see her do more comedy.Ms. Brieman gave a decent 1st time out movie, it just could have been so much more. I still really enjoyed it and if I had the money I'd go buy it. I got the humor, and appreciated it, even though it was poorly put on the screen. Maybe its because I'm just as neurotic as Kate and Adam.

shown. The language is a little over-the-top.

on oral sex "When life sucks, so should you!" This pretty much sets the tone for the film, which contains no nudity but some explicit sexual dialogue.I'm not presenting this as a negative whatsoever. It's almost inspiring, in fact, seeing a romantic comedy no matter how IFC it is that is so candid about such matters.Roger Ebert, the best critic out there, gave the film a negative review, feeling that "In successful screen romance, there needs to be the sense that the partners are happy simply to be there with one another, that there is a physical yearning, and not simply the need to talk fast enough to stay ahead of the one-liners." I would agree, partially. 'Love & Sex' is not perfect, far from it. At times it can seem like a series of one-liners, but would you rather have a train of quick and biting one-liners for dialogue, or a wretched dredge through moronic cheeseball sentimentality? I prefer the former.Overall, 'Love & Sex' is a shrewd and funny mix of Woody Allen and 'Sex and the City', and I would recommend it to open-minded moviegoers looking a quick and pleasing comedy with satisfying bite.3/4
