![Laws of Attraction [VHS]](/41PEK13BJPLSL500.jpg)
Julianne Moore and Pierce Brosnan turn on the movie-star twinkle in
Laws of Attraction. They're both divorce lawyers whose in-court conflicts give rise to sparks of an entirely different nature--and while they're in Ireland, trying to determine whether the husband or wife in a rock-star divorce deserves to keep a swank castle, they "accidentally" get married. Back in New York, they agree to keep up the pretence of marriage, lest a quickie divorce make them the laughingstocks of the legal community. Few comedies are as outright clumsy as
Laws of Attraction; the plot falls apart even as you're watching it, the dialogue stumbles, the direction is graceless. Somehow Moore (
Far From Heaven,
The Hours) and Brosnan (
Tomorrow Never Dies) sustain their charm--but if you're looking for a comedy about divorce,
Intolerable Cruelty or the classic
Adam's Rib provide a lot more fun.
