Summary: Love & Sex is Awesome!
Review: A perfect blend of love, laughs, and at times tear provoking, Love & Sex is real entertainment!
It follows the times and trials of a woman who has been in a series of strange relationships - until she meets a man who loves her for who she is. Together they share a rare bond of passion and understanding.
Love & Sex has definately been overlooked and unrecognized in the entertainment world. Yet, it deserves to be viewed as the comedic masterpiece it is.
I give Love & Sex two thumbs up, it kept a sweet smile on my face from beginning to end.

Summary: I love movies with great dialogue!
Review: As a fan of movies that have good dialogue, this one is on my list, along with When Harry Met Sally and Before Sunrise. It's a simple movie about finding the right person in life. Isn't that what so many people spend years of dating trying to determine? This movie approaches relationships in a very honest, funny, and refreshing way. The chemistry between Famke Janssen and Jon Favreau is great as they go through the ups and downs of being in a relationship. This movie is for anyone in a relationship...or just wondering when they will ever find their special someone.

Summary: Great Movie!
Review: Considering the movie's somewhat low profile, this came as a pleasant surprise to me. In this romantic comedy, both Famke Janssen and Jon Favreau absolutely shine. their on-screen chemistry is superb, and seems amazingly natural. Favourite scenes of mine, include the first date (where Jon comments on Famke's history of men with the line "you're...like a whore!"), the farting in bed scene (- hilarious, and Famke's reaction to Jon looks so natural it's hard to believe she was acting!), and an excellent cameo from David Schwimmer towards the end of the film. Also worth pointing out is the Robert De Niro wannabe, who just loves to impersonate his favourite actor. I haven't seem many films starring either of the two leads featured here, but both Jon and Famke give top-notch performances. My only criticism of the film - and this is nit-picking really - is that it's too short. Otherwise, hugely enjoyable film.

Summary: love can be hard
Review: Famke Janssen(The X-Men Movies, GoldenEye) and Jon Favreau(Made,Swingers) are perfect as the couple who get together then break up and then get back together again. The 2 when breaking up seem to be following each other and they have annoying opposites. Janssen gets involved with Noah Emmerich(The Truman Show, Windtalkers) who is really married. It's like this and Favreau keeps on bugging her. It's a good story with good actors. Highlight would be when David Schwimmer(Tv's just recently canceled Friends and Kissing The Fool)visits Favreau as a Johova's Witness

Summary: Fuck other romantic movies...This one tops the cake!!
Review: I couldn't sleep one night and this movie was on, I decided to watch it. I became so involved in this movie, I really couldn't sleep. "Kate" (Jansen's character) is a spacy women who is quite liberal in her sex life, but when she meets "Adam" (Jon's character), they become involved in a "serious" relationship. Adam is one of the most tantalizing men I've ever seen on screen. He is not that attractive, but his personality along with "Kate's" produce the BEST on screen chemistry since Shirley & Jack in Terms of Endearment. This movie is sad, funny, hard hitting, and honest ... this movie is LOVE!! The movie is worth seeing just for the scene where Adam dances for Kate. If you were ever in a relationship you can definetly relate to this movie. This movie is worth at least watching .. if not buying...Enjoy, Holly

Summary: Love...in a dorky kind of way
Review: I dont know why I initially picked this movie out a couple of yeas ago...but I did. And I am glad I found this. I am a recovering moviefanatic who got tired of the stereotypes of love. Favreau reminded me of myself. The movie in itself shows the love of finding someone in a lonely world. The ability to like someone new and different. Being a dork myself, I found this to not only be one of my favorite date movies, but one of my favorite movies in general. It teaches me a lot about the turns and twists a relationships takes in a couples life. But if true love, and real people are there. It always works. But most of all, it taught me not to take love, sex or myself in both too seriously or you can become someone else.

Summary: You Have To Kiss Many Frogs Before You Find A Prince
Review: I got this DVD free in a magazine, and I'm normally very wary of DVDs that get handed out so freely - they're normally really bad! Or not worth the money you paid for the magazine. But this seemed tempting, as it was a romance (my favourite kind), and had Famke Janssen and the brilliant Jon Favreau in it.When I started watching it, I was entranced straight away. Despite having loads of piracy trailers before the actual movie, and not having much else in the way of extras (only a trailer), I found myself laughing, and nearly in tears at points. Everyone knows (or at least, I know) Jon Favreau from Friends - he played Monica's millionaire boyfriend, Pete, who then tried to become a World Fighting Champion. He was fantastic in this. Playing an artist this time, who does very surreal paintings. (Someone pulling a severed head out of somewhere for example!) He was fantastically funny, brilliantly neurotic, and apart from the awful side burns, and the curly goatee (not both at the same time thankfully), was also kinda cute looking. In a way where you want to give him a cuddle. Not knee-trembling gorgeous. Famke Janssen starts off in the film, as a 9-year-old girl, who is in love with the guy who bullies her. (Right) She's kinda geeky looking, and not what you'd call pretty, but what children ever are? She's totally 'in love' with this guy, until she tells all to her big-mouthed friend, and ends up in tears when he dumps her. After this, she quite happily admits to having relationships with thirteen men (I'm falling WAY behind by her standards), which she admits to Adam's character over lunch/dinner/something. Later he tells her that he's only been with two women. (Very reminiscent of a scene in an early season of Friends when Monica and Richard are together, and are telling each other how many people they've slept with. Monica's is less than a ballpoint, and Richard's is two) By the end of the movie, this number has risen up to 14 - having a relationship with a Not-So-Bright-Porn-Star-Robert De Niro- loving actor. The whole point of this movie is that Famke's character is a journalist, and has to write an article about relationships - in which she knows more about, how shall we say, giving guys 'pleasure', than actual relationships. Most of the movie is done in flashback, as she goes through most of the bad/good relationships she's had, with narration, as the article gets written through her experiences - with lots of cheesy/romantic lines thrown in along the way! This film goes into what relationships are all about, and how you have to go through a lot of guys before you find the perfect one. It also briefly touches the painful subject of unwanted pregnancy, and then losing the baby anyway. There's also some strange scenes, where they realise they haven't had slept together for 3 weeks, try, and then realise they're "too tired". And then the all too painful break-up. You can work out what happens from there on. This is a terrific film, to watch as a couple (the guys will probably like Famke, as she appears wearing very little most of the time), or to watch alone, and think about the pain of relationships. Or the good things about relationships. Depends what mood you're in really. The DVD is definitely worth keeping, full of fun, happiness, and sadness all at the time. Once in a blue moon, you will get a free DVD, that is actually really good! It will be a good addition to my growing collection. Watch out for an uncredited 'cameo' by David Schwimmer (Ross from Friends) too!

Summary: feelgood girls movie that most man will actually like
Review: I L-O-V-E-D this movie! It's one of these movies I like so much that I just want all my girlfriends to see it (in my presence ofcourse!). It's funny, romantic but in a down to earth kind of way. The person Famke Jansen plays looks back on her lovelife for an article she has to write (bit like sex and the city). From the French teacher she lost her virginity to, to a guy she bumbs into (actully with her car!) and one nice sunday morning while she's going down on him finds his wife and child on the doorstep. Then she meet Favrau and it's her first real relationship. Happy ending? Hmm; After a year or so together they also hit bad weather.... Anyway, you should see it for yourself! After I'd made ALL my girlfriends watch the movie and ran out of female viewers I started to make a few of my male friends watch it. They hate Sex&the city. They hated typical 'romantic comedies'. Guess what? To my surprise They liked love & sex! Watch it! Even in the presence of male companionship!
