Editorial Reviews

From The New Yorker

The writer-director Valerie Breiman, in her first feature, has put together an inconsequential but charming romantic comedy starring the long-stemmed, unpretentious beauty Famke Janssen as a Los Angeles magazine writer and Jon Favreau ("Swingers") as her boyfriend, a wise-cracking, rather infantile painter. The movie offers little more than the latest forms of sexual banter, but the teASINg mock crises are easy enough to take, and the two stars have a nice rhythm together. Janssen, with better material, could blossom into the next Julia Roberts; she's pretty irresistible even in this low-key stuff. -David Denby

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most honest movies I've ever seen..., September 6, 2001

By A Customer

Love and Sex is perhaps my most favorite movie. It has a great cast and excellent chemistry between the two leading actors. It explores one woman's experience of relationships -- from losing her virginity to her high school French teacher to her eventual meeting of Adam (Jon Favreau) -- without skipping a beat. Unlike more popular "romantic comedies," Love and Sex is not about fairy tale romance but rather about the humor in real-life relationships and what happens when those relationships end. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A true relationship movie, Great fun with a great cast...., March 8, 2001

By	C. Williams "C Williams" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well I have just seen this movie today and wanted to checkout what other people thought of it. So I came here and was shocked to see only a few reviews. Does this mean that this film is no good, NO! It means that it will remain something special to all of those who have seen this unexpected treasure. But please, tell your friends, neighbours and countrymen that this little movie should not be missed on any account. Right now I myself am going through a really bad break up with my girlfriend of 6 years. Who I still dearly love very much but we have decided to give ourselfs a little space and time. I can relate to this movie on all levels and it was a breath of fresh air in the romantic comedy genre. Both lead actors show great chemistry on screen and pull off genuine emotion. I have been a big fan of Jon Favreau since Swingers and we really do not see as much of him as we all should do. Famke Janssen is a great actress too, really shinning through. Watch this movie, again and again. It really is a must see!

I 'CHEEESE SANDWICH' YOU ALL!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything When Harry Met Sally missed..., August 23, 2003

By	Tim Moody (Atlanta) - See all my reviews

This is the part of when harry met sally that was missed, the TRUE relationship interpersonal relationship activity.

I have read all the reviews here on this movie, they are all very accurate. This movie is perhaps the ultimate relationship/couple movie, with one real exception. This is the perfect movie for those couples in REAL relationships, relationships that are very honest and true. I love this movie, it has become one of those movies I pull out on rainy days, just to remember lost love. This is really a bellweather movie, couples that are really and truly in love and honest with each other will love this movie and talk about it over and over again; however, couples who have alot of hidden issues and things they cannot talk about this movie will make them very sad, because they long for the relationship this couple has.
