4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely more "Love" than "Disaster"..., July 30, 2008
By A. Rose "Miss Rose Rose" (Juneau, Alaska USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Love and Other Disasters (DVD)
In a genre littered with hundreds of samey quickly-forgotten offerings of mediocre quality, this one differentiates itself surprisingly well. The story is older than Shakespeare: girl meets boy, boy likes girl, but the inevitable misunderstandings contrive to keep them apart until the end. Nothing new, but what raises "Love" from the crowd is both its shameless tongue-in-cheek manner and its distinctly British sensibility - as present in some scathingly hilarious dialogue. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, certainly, but if you're a fan of British (or just plan snarky) humour, and you enjoy movies that don't take themselves seriously, I can't recommend this one to you enough.

3.0 out of 5 stars Clever rom-com, but Brittany is misplaced, August 14, 2008
This review is from: Love and Other Disasters (DVD)
I like Brittany Murphy a lot but this is not the right vehicle for her. She's not a fashionista and lacks the kind of poise it takes to walk comfortably in high heels. Almost all of the shots of her 'strutting' were cut to less than a step so you can see what she looks like but not how she moves. It was the same with the tango dance scene. Quick edits work as a disguise. I don't think the beehive hairdos work on her but if you like Brittany Murphy you should see this film. It won't make you dislike her and the film is mildly clever.

A handful of male actors performed well and gave the film most of its charm. The two female actors, besides Brittany, were junk. The two women, mother and daughter, trying to act likeably eccentric were annoying, shallow and superfluous to the story. They weren't even acceptable caricatures of likeably eccentric. Chain smoking cigarettes does not eccentric make.

I don't think it really counts as a spoiler to let people know that Gwyneth Paltrow and Orlando Bloom are on the screen for about 20 seconds. That was part of the cleverness of the film. They 'play' the parts of the 'happily-ever-after' couple in the Hollywood version of the movie we're watching as it is written by one of the characters in the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't help that love/hate relationship with romantic comedies?, August 28, 2008
This review is from: Love and Other Disasters (DVD)
This movie is perfect! Wonderfully witty romantic comedy that constantly picks on the ridiculousness of the romantic comedy. Both a chick flick and a great guy comedy. And not what you'd expect from Brittany Murphy; a very welcome surprise.
