When her rather explicit copy is rejected, magazine journalist Kate is asked by her editor to come up with an article on loving relationships instead, and to do so by the end of the day. This gets Kate thinking back over her own various experiences, and to wondering if she is in much of a position to write on the subject.

Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

CrawlerChunky

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

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.

Since seeing Swingers I have become a big John Favreau fan but Love & Sex was not one of his greatest movies. The basis of the film is all in the title: love and sex. Favreau plays artist Adam Levy who meets Kate Welles (Famke Janssen) at one of his art exhibits. Soon thereafter, they begin dating and enjoy frequent sex. At first, their relationship is nothing but great and passionate. But as time passes the passion naturally fades and, eventually, Adam decides to call it quits with Kate. Overall, the movie is filled with witty dialogue and some memorable scenes (like how Adam picks up Kate at the art exhibit) but didn't finish strongly enough. I'd say the first half of the film was genuinely funny while the second half struggled through a cliché-filled plot and predictable ending. Still, if you're a fan of jon favreau then I'd recommend this film but don't expect as many laughs as in Swingers or a cameo by Vince Vaughn.

To keep from being bored during "Love and Sex," first I tried to think of all the movies this was imitative of: "Breaking Up" with Russell Crowe and Salma Hayek (though that had a more original ending), "About Last Night" with Rob Lowe, and a lot of TV shows. Second was admiring just how gorgeous Framke Janssen is so I couldn't believe for a nanosecond that she could have a problem getting a date. She is certainly in line to give Julia Roberts a run for her money, literally-- and wasn't Julia in some movie with this same plot or other? Third was trying to figure out why the writer/director bothered to give Jon Favreau's character the Jewish name of Adam Levy; he even refers admiringly to eating a ham sandwich.Fourth was trying to figure out why some critics had given this a good review which is why I was in the theater.(originally written 9/2/2000)

I bought this movie on DVD after seeing XMEN 2 ( because my favourite character was Jean Grey) I had a nice surprise, it was really funny, witty , sexy and charming flick. Famke Janssen is very funny , beautiful and talent actress.I hope she makes more movie. Jon was very funny and realistic in many aspects.They had a good chemistry together.
