Summary: Where can I get this stuff
Review: A cute movie. I'd love to know where I could get some of the potion and use it on Sandra Bullock. She is amazing. Her and Tate Donovan are perfect in their leading roles. A movie that everybody comes away thinking, "Wouldn't it be nice to have some of that stuff?"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice little early piece of work by Bullock
Review: Although I've always liked Sandra Bullock, lately I've gotten into watching her films, old and new. I watched "Love Potion #9" years ago, and after watching it again, my opinion on it still stands. It will not go down in history as a classic. In fact it probably won't go down in history at all. But that doesn't mean that it isn't a pleasant little diversion. In it Bullock probably gives the first performance of the type that would later make her stand out in "While You Were Sleeping": the lonely girl next door who blossoms when she meets the right guy.

And while the film is not on the level of "While You Were Sleeping" in terms of production quality, it is not that badly made. The story line has a number of genuine laughs and there are some clever scenes. There are two crude attempts at humor that don't really belong in it, but they are only minor distractions.

So to sum up, I hope that Bullock continues to work where her strength lies, in romantic comedies. I've seen her in serious roles and while she turns in a competent performance, her star really shines when she does light-hearted stuff.

Summary: An early Miss Congeniality.
Review: Back in 1992, two years before Sandra Bullock really hit the big time with 'Speed', this movie came along. And six years after 'Speed' a little movie gem, and also one of my favourite movies, 'Miss Congeniality' happened into the movie world. Now, Marc Lawrence, the director of 'Miss Congeniality' must have seen this movie. They are almost the exact same!

Sandra once again plays the geeky girl, with big eyebrows, huge black rimmed glasses (think Buddy Holly), no fashion sense, and no idea of how to apply makeup. (Sounds a bit like myself) And thanks to this magic potion, she just has to speak or even cough, and she's instantly irresistible to any guy near her. (I need some of this potion!) And of course, the more guys pay attention to her (lucky cow), the more confidence she gets, and her "inner beauty" just radiates out of her. She's instantly transformed. (Definitely need to get my hands on this potion)

Tate Donovan plays the male version of Sandra. The ultimate geek, and not a guy you would ever touch with a bargepole. He also wears glasses, has a very extreme side parting, bad clothes, infact bad everything. When he uses the potion, it's slower to let his, ahem, "inner beauty" radiate. He doesn't change that drastically, but instead of the makeup people gelling his hair flat to his skull in the morning, they let it bounce up into its natural curliness. His clothes don't drastically change.

If you've seen Miss Congeniality, and enjoyed it, you should see this one too. Sandra with all that gorgeous hair, and looking daft at some points, and ... Well, why exactly would you go see a movie with Tate Donovan?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible!
Review: Don't listen to the glowing reviews!. This is as bad and horrid as a comedy can get!. Sandra Bullock, what were you thinking?!. Save your time!.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love Potion #9
Review: Early work that really shows just how talented she really is. A twist on real life, but pulls it off

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun little flick
Review: Fun flick for when one is not in the mood for intellectual fare. One of Sandra Bullock's earlier films and based on an inane song from my parent's generation, it is a nice Saturday night comedy to hang out with friends and watch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is so cute!
Review: I loved this movie when I first came across it. I think it's the first I ever saw of either Tate Donovan or Sandra Bullock, and I have loved both of them since. I highly recommend it to anyone interested is a good, cheesy romance with a silly twist. =o)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Number Zero, This One
Review: I think "Love Potion #9" is a cute little song, and I liked Sandra Bullock before. What should have added up to a nice little movie was definitely a zero. Vulgar and stupid. Really, I mean it. Stick to the oldies radio station and think up your own movie plot--I'm sure you'd do a whole lot better.
