MPAA RATING: R for language and sexuality
Starring Stuart Townsend, Kate Hudson, Frances O'Connor, Charlotte Bradley, Rosaleen Linehan, and Tommy Tiernan
Temptation takes on a wickedly delicious new flavor in About Adam, as every character is seduced...all by the same mysterious man: the sinfully sweet Adam (Townsend). Like his Garden of Eden counterpart, this sexy modern Dubliner has become the apple of one woman's (Hudson) eye --and everyone else's forbidden fruit. (Miramax Films)

This film was a breath of fresh air. Instead of seeing the bad points of Ireland, we finally see a witty and care free Irish comedy. 'Adam' is the type of character we all want to be, he gets on with everyone, he's funny, witty and very sly. He knows what people want from him and is able to give it to them, without questioning his morals eg.'why is he cheating on my sister.' This film is just a comedy, it's something we'd love to get away with and he brings out the qualities in every sister, Laura now has more passion a nd able to go up to anyman, Alice finally got a good f*ck and the outcome is that she will now feel closer to the husband and Lucy has finally found love, unsupecting that Adam isn't as perfect as she thinks.
Renee gave it an 8:
About Adam is refreshingly amoralistic. At one point, Adam (Townsend) says to the effect, "I've always had the ability to give people what they want. I'm good at it." As a viewer, I agree. Adam could have been, because of his womanizing, easy to hate, but in the end, you are just like one of the sisters. He has given you what you want, and he was good at it. I suggest that any one who'd like to see a comedy (and not be hit over the head with a heavy handed message) should see what Adam is all about.

Same old usual tried irish slop, with the same old faces whining about the same ol' things. Avoid at all costs!
[Anonymous] gave it a 9:
Pienso que tiene una profundidad mucho mayor de la que aparenta. Creo que lo que expresa en el personaje de Adam está muy alejado del sexo sino que se refiere a recuperar en las personas las ilusiones y las aspiraciones más íntimas que mueven el mundo. El entrega a todos, aún al hermano de su prometida una posibilidad de romper con las estructuras internas y decidirse a vivir. No creo que el mensaje sea de promiscuidad sino más bien de animarse a vivir la vida y dar a los demás en la medida de lo posible aquello que los haga felices.
