88The dialogue is hip, natural and observational.
-
75Brightly sidesteps the cliches that cling to the genre like barnacles and reinvents a lot of the old moves.
-
75The Dutch born Janssen sparkles serenely.
-
70It's sharply chiseled but not cynical, and that's a delicate line to walk.
-
63Isn't riveting, but it's diverting enough.
-
63Generally rises above the easy clichés you find in most such movies.
-
60Not quite original enough to make much of a dent in the marketplace, but it shows its stars to advantage.
-
60I also thrilled to identify with a male lead (Jon Favreau) who's as brilliant and crazy and self-absorbed as Woody Allen or Albert Brooks but whose self-absorption doesn't shape and color everything else in the movie.
-
60An endearing comic roundelay about the can't-commits.
-
50Might be fun for younger teenagers who want to be reassured that people in their 30s still behave like younger teenagers.
-
What we have here is the cinematic equivalent of a dead shark.
-
50Watching the movie felt like any number of bad blind dates.
-
50Feels thoroughly canned.
-
50It comes down to a pair of appealing performers in a series of bad-relationship skits.
-
50Flimsy little comedy unworthy of its portentous title.
-
50Breiman brings nothing new or insightful or even all that clever, for that matter, to the familiar questions of love and sex.
-
50Janssen proves herself an actress of delightful range.
-
50Slight but bright and charming.
-
50Valerie Breiman’s exceedingly slick feature is one of those cutesy items in which the characters talk about nothing but relationships and themselves.
-
42There's nothing worse than a sub-par Woody Allen knockoff.
-
40The script negates anything heartfelt with its flippant, almost vulgar tone.
-
40Slick, polished to perfection, derivative and stripped of any of the real quirks or idiosyncrasies that make a romantic comedy fly.
-
30A romantic comedy whose sour take on romance never manages to be comic.
-
20Failed romantic comedy.
-
10All solipsistic jaded-Cosmo patter.
-
5Love & Sex is nothing but pain and suffering.

MelissaJ.10This movie was the first guy/girl flick. At least when his buddies aren't around to alter his thoughts.
