Adam (Jon Favreau) and Kate (Famke Janssen) mix it up as a couple for a while, having the titular *Love and Sex*. Then they break up. While they each date other people, their feelings for each other resurface almost as much as they keep running into each other in social circles. They end up back together again. The end. Interesting, eh? Well, why do you keep patronizing these spongy, fungus-covered things that make the beyond-stale food in the back of your fridge look like French cuisine?Another savagely average boy-girl "romantic comedy" with nothing new to say, nothing profound to offer and nothing remotely involving except for the chemistry between the two principals.Famke and Favreau are fantastic - but only because I have a thing for Famke and Favreau both. Some good one-liners shot off by Favreau (doing his best Vince Vaughn) and some steamy, square-jawed sexiness exuded by Famke. But nothing can save this movie as the lame vehicle it tries so hard to be and succeeds at being; predicated on that ignorant, age-old stupidity that there's ONE person "out there" for you. (There are so many clichés that have become ingrained in our lexicon that we don't even question what they mean anymore. What exactly does "I will love you forever" mean? If you are bovine enough to believe these kinds of empty palliatives, you deserve every shard of emotional damage you put yourself through.) The perp responsible for writing and directing this swill is surprise! a girl: Valerie Breiman. Which of course makes every word said about love and infatuation and anything else to do with "relationships" absolute bunk.But enough about your girlfriend. This movie is pleasant enough but people: stop taking these fanciful flirtations as "truth" and marrying these fictional accounts to your aspirations and life pathways and decisions.It's love and sex. One exists. One doesn't. Then you die.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Sooooooo amazing and underrated. I've watched it dozens of times and I never get sick of it. Jon Favreau is also one of my favorite actors. He's so funny! He and Famke Jensen have an amazing chemistry in this film. It seems so real and genuine, like a lot of things you can relate to and understand. One of my favorite scenes is when Kate comes home and Adam asks her to fill him a tub. I love it! :) Another one is when they are out shopping, walking down the street and they start an argument about who looks better when they age, men or women. Anyways if you've never seen I obviously highly recommend it.

This movie contained so many truism's in some exaggerated scenarios, but the blend made for moments that you could identify with and others that were for sheer entertainment value. If you have ever dated,fallen in love, and wondered if you would find "the one" this movie takes you down this road for an enjoyable trip!!!The lead character Kate is definitely a woman who is letting her 'inner child'take the lead when it comes to dating...that is until she meets Adam. He is unconventional, honest, and has a great sense of humor--so naturally he is her new best friend. The friendship, relationship, and appreciation they have for one another makes you evaluate the quality of relationships; and as a result you either appreciate what kind of relationships you have or long for what you could have. A movie that will make you think & giggle!

As much as many people would like to bash this movie, obviously there NOT a female and they HAVEN'T lived in this decade. The trial to find a good man and "mr. right" hangs in the midst of every day, and the way they have portrayed this is very close to the truth. Ok so a lil extravagant, what are the odds that she dates the actor of her ex boyfriends fave movie, she refused to see? But ok, its a movie, and a lot of things in life, ecspecially in relationships will have you sayin, "What are the odds?". Things happen weirdly and the way it was delivered in this movie was beautiful. It shows the glory of love, and the cute quips one may have, it shows how people REALLY get along when they live with eachother. They show life isn't a fairy tale, and it deems the truth of it. Overall, as bad as her morals were, but whose are good these days anyways but your grandmother, I think this is a worthwhile movie, at least for a chic nite.
