Summary: Thank you Amazon!
Review: If it wasn't for this terrific site I would never have heard of this wonderful movie. I was sad to learn that it was unavailable for purchase because it is out of print but I was able to win an auction and I am now the proud owner of the movie Love Potion #9! If you would like to purchase this movie (or any other that might be out of print) I suggest you search the auction websites (Amazon, Ebay, etc.), you will be surprised at what you might be able to win!

Summary: Light hearted entertainment -
Review: Love Potion #9 - Really sweet movie. Tate Donovan is a desperate scientist who has an unusual encounter with a gypsy. He receives a love potion that is guaranteed to change his life. He and a homely (if you can believe that!) colleague - Sandra Bullock - begin to breakdown and study the potion. Of course to do that effectively, they have to try it themselves. The absolute best brush-off is in this movie, and just thinking of it makes me smile. The story is charming and very entertaining. This is a must see for the romantic comedy buff!

Summary: Moving on to greener pastures.
Review: Sandra Bullock has certainly moved on to better things. She is the only bright spark in this mishmash of a movie. A story about a chemist (Tate Donovan) who goes to a gypsy with a group of friends (how many guys do that for a night out!?) and she gives him a potion which will make him irrisitable to women. He then gives some to his work mate (Bullock) who suddenly turns into a beauty after looking a complete dog (shades of Miss Congeniality). This is when the movie dies on its feet. It seems to be badly edited with bits missing, Donovan is a bad actor, I'm not surprised he didn't get to become a huge star, unlike Bullock who holds the whole mess together (just). Dale Midkiff has a supporting role as Bullock's sometime boyfriend and does a good job. Ann Bancroft is the gypsy and overplays the role. Worth looking at just to see Bullock in an early role.

Summary: The word that describes it best is .....strange
Review: Sure, I like Tate Donovan and I like Sandra Bullock, but the plot of this movie doesn't make sense to me and has a happy end that is way too plain. Sorry, but I don't recommend this movie.

Summary: REINVENTING THE WHEEL
Review: The flight into New York had been a long one; but I was gently revived when Kirsten Dunst met me at the airport. She was to be my escort that night at the Lincoln Center where the President would present me the Distinguished Writer's Cross-the highest award this nation can bestow on an author. I quickly slipped my only suitcase in the backseat and sat next to her as she drove her Mercedes S class sedan to the Waldorf Astoria downtown.
"I have to admit that I didn't you who you were until I read STARLESS GRASSLANDS. I don't mean to embarrass you; but that book changed my life."
I tried to be polite and gracious toward the compliment. For the remainder of the trip we had a nice conversation while I approved the fluid motion of her hands and legs as she maneuvered the controls of the automobile. I very much approved of her legs.
As I departed the car, Kirsten leaned toward the open door to catch my eyes.
"Don't forget. I'll be by at seven so we can go to the ceremony together. Please be ready."
I expressed gratitude for her generosity and promised to be waiting for her seven sharp. The hotel staff greeted me and soon I entered the elevator for a quiet ride to the eighty sixth floor. As I entered the suite, the steward took my request to have my suit blushed, prepared and returned in a few hours.
Finally, a bit of peace. I poured a small measure of whiskey into a chilled tumbler and then walked over to the large window looking out over the city below. For a few moments I contemplated the remarks I was to make at this evening's formal ceremonies, then I heard the hushed movement of stocking feet behind me across the room.
I turned around and out of the bedroom to my left in walked Sandy Bullock dressed in a black sheer see through cat suit.
"Well, Crabby, aren't you glad to see me?"
Before I could recover from my surprise another set of feet wisped across the floor from the sitting room on the right. It was Jennifer Aniston dressed in the same black sheet cat suit.
"Sweetheart, don't look at her. Come here to me."
"Get out!" screamed Sandy.
"No, you get out. It's not fair. I left Brad for him so I get him!"
The two of them stood in angry silence staring at each other for a tense moment. Then Sandy leapt at Jennifer and instantly they were in a bitter fight hissing and scratching each other. It was a ferocious sight as pulled hair, shrieks of pain, and nylon tearing could be heard. Then almost a quickly as it began, the fighting pair disappeared into the sitting room. Several sharp punches were heard then a definite thump as a body fell to the floor.
Sandy marched back into the room victorious. I ran to the door of the sitting room only to see Jennifer laid out on the floor out cold, spread eagle and naked. Before I could think of what to do Sandy tapped me on my shoulder. I turned around and there Sandy stood. A little worse for wear. Trying to catch her breath. Nude with her torn cat suit draped across her feet.
"Forget her. She won't bother us now."
Sandy brushed the stray hairs out of her face, smiled and stepped out of her nylon costume. She posed standing and anticipating my admiration.
"Now I'm all sweaty and warm. I need a shower." Sandy turned her lithe body and walked into the bedroom and into the bathroom beyond.
I turned around and wondered what I should do for poor Jennifer still laying unconscious on the floor. Then I heard Sandy calling.
"Crabby, why don't you come and help me? You could soap up my......"
OOPS!!!! Sorry!!! Err...just a little fantasy of mine. I meant to honestly review this movie but my more realistic nature took over. I swear my pitiful fantasy is actually much better than the story told here. You see, the cover of this DVD displays Ms. Bullock prominently with her name in big font letters. But in truth this movie focuses on Tate Donovan as the main character and only on Ms. Bullock as his unlikely love interest.
As much as I "love" Sandra Bullock, I have to admit her filmography has not been kind to her. Her best films have been WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING, WRESTLING ERNEST HEMINGWAY and the much-unappreciated HOPE FLOATS. Unfortunately for each of these gems are several terrible movies like FIRE ON THE AMAZON, HANGMAN, SPEED 2 and this movie.
The plot revolves around two "losers in love" who are unappealing both in looks and personality. Donovan comes across a love potion from a gypsy woman (an unrecognizable Anne Bancroft) and soon both Donovan and Bullock have the most desirable members of the opposite sex at their feet. All goes well until others find out their secret and Donovan and Bullock discover that their true love is actually between each other.
The story is predictable and unfortunately not very funny or all that sweet. Chances are you can find a copy of this DVD fairly cheap and it is not a bad way to kill some time while you're waiting for your own boyfriend or girlfriend to get off work-or your friends to wake up from their naps-so you can really do something worth wild.

Summary: A great afternoon spinner
Review: This is such a light romantic comedy and the characters are written so well. I especially liked Anne Bancroft as the gypsy. The ending was just fantastic. I wish it were available for purchase, since it would make such a great gift. It is just a warm fuzzy movie and a must see.

Summary: Such A Sweet Romantic Comedy
Review: This movie is an absolute gem. Anyone is sure to fall in love with these two nerdy "unattractive" science geeks. Having practically nonexistant love lifes, these two nerds conduct an experiment with this "love potion no. 9", and find that it has phenomonal results. Of course, having these two nerds transform into gorgeous people has nothing to do with their success. Watching Bullock and Donovan in their nerdy attire is hilarious. This is an awesome feel good comedy which will have you rooting for the right guy to get the girl. This is a great movie which you will not be disapointed with.

Summary: early sandra b.
Review: This movie is as cute and silly as it's title. I love Sandra Bullock in anything and this is a really enjoyable romantic comedy from before she was a star. The movie has a makeover theme which, ironically, is similar to her latest movie, Miss Congeniality. In both flicks, she goes from geek to goddess, much to the appreciation of all males around her, and eventually gets her man. Love Potion #9 throws in the fantasy like premise that a magic potion exists to make you an animal magnet to every member of the opposite sex when wearing it.

Summary: Very romantic in a funny way!
Review: This must be the most funniest way to spice up your love/sex life! I loved it too much! They even used some of Tchaikovsky's music on some of the scenes -- he's my favorite composer! I would imidietly buy it if I EVER see it on sale! This is a must-see movie for those who have taste in romanic comedy!

Summary: One funny trip down the road of love....
Review: Very cute and funny movie. This potion supposedly turns anyone who takes it into someone who is very desireable and wanted by everything, man, woman, even animal and then the fun starts. This was one of the first movies I ever watched with my soon to be husband. We laughed and laughed. A classic in my book.
