SummaryThis is not neither Love nor Romance....
Content
IT"S Mostly about people cheating,lying to themselves, getting hurt while sleeping with different people in this age of AIDS is not a good thing. WHEN A man and woman do fall in love and have sex, it should be a wonderful thing, and not the big joke that this second rate movie on a cheaply made DVD is. I think the four star reviews of this movie show no taste and no class.

Summary[...]other romantic movies...This one tops the cake!!
Content
I couldn't sleep one night and this movie was on, I decided to watch it. I became so involved in this movie, I really couldn't sleep. "Kate" (Jansen's character) is a spacy women who is quite liberal in her sex life, but when she meets "Adam" (Jon's character), they become involved in a "serious" relationship. Adam is one of the most tantalizing men I've ever seen on screen. He is not that attractive, but his personality along with "Kate's" produce the BEST on screen chemistry since Shirley & Jack in Terms of Endearment. This movie is sad, funny, hard hitting, and honest ... this movie is LOVE!! The movie is worth seeing just for the scene where Adam dances for Kate. If you were ever in a relationship you can definetly relate to this movie. This movie is worth at least watching .. if not buying...Enjoy, Holly

Summaryfeelgood girls movie that most man will actually like
Content
I L-O-V-E-D this movie! It's one of these movies I like so much that I just want all my girlfriends to see it (in my presence ofcourse!). It's funny, romantic but in a down to earth kind of way. The person Famke Jansen plays looks back on her lovelife for an article she has to write (bit like sex and the city). From the French teacher she lost her virginity to, to a guy she bumbs into (actully with her car!) and one nice sunday morning while she's going down on him finds his wife and child on the doorstep. Then she meet Favrau and it's her first real relationship. Happy ending? Hmm; After a year or so together they also hit bad weather.... Anyway, you should see it for yourself! After I'd made ALL my girlfriends watch the movie and ran out of female viewers I started to make a few of my male friends watch it. They hate Sex&the city. They hated typical 'romantic comedies'. Guess what? To my surprise They liked love & sex! Watch it! Even in the presence of male companionship!

SummaryYou Have To Kiss Many Frogs Before You Find A Prince
Content
I got this DVD free in a magazine, and I'm normally very wary of DVDs that get handed out so freely - they're normally really bad! Or not worth the money you paid for the magazine. But this seemed tempting, as it was a romance (my favourite kind), and had Famke Janssen and the brilliant Jon Favreau in it.

When I started watching it, I was entranced straight away. Despite having loads of piracy trailers before the actual movie, and not having much else in the way of extras (only a trailer), I found myself laughing, and nearly in tears at points.

Everyone knows (or at least, I know) Jon Favreau from Friends - he played Monica's millionaire boyfriend, Pete, who then tried to become a World Fighting Champion. He was fantastic in this. Playing an artist this time, who does very surreal paintings. (Someone pulling a severed head out of somewhere for example!) He was fantastically funny, brilliantly neurotic, and apart from the awful side burns, and the curly goatee (not both at the same time thankfully), was also kinda cute looking. In a way where you want to give him a cuddle. Not knee-trembling gorgeous.

Famke Janssen starts off in the film, as a 9-year-old girl, who is in love with the guy who bullies her. (Right) She's kinda geeky looking, and not what you'd call pretty, but what children ever are? She's totally `in love' with this guy, until she tells all to her big-mouthed friend, and ends up in tears when he dumps her. After this, she quite happily admits to having relationships with thirteen men (I'm falling WAY behind by her standards), which she admits to Adam's character over lunch/dinner/something. Later he tells her that he's only been with two women. (Very reminiscent of a scene in an early season of Friends when Monica and Richard are together, and are telling each other how many people they've slept with. Monica's is less than a ballpoint, and Richard's is two) By the end of the movie, this number has risen up to 14 - having a relationship with a Not-So-Bright-Porn-Star-Robert De Niro- loving actor. The whole point of this movie is that Famke's character is a journalist, and has to write an article about relationships - in which she knows more about, how shall we say, giving guys `pleasure', than actual relationships. Most of the movie is done in flashback, as she goes through most of the bad/good relationships she's had, with narration, as the article gets written through her experiences - with lots of cheesy/romantic lines thrown in along the way!

This film goes into what relationships are all about, and how you have to go through a lot of guys before you find the perfect one. It also briefly touches the painful subject of unwanted pregnancy, and then losing the baby anyway. There's also some strange scenes, where they realise they haven't had slept together for 3 weeks, try, and then realise they're "too tired". And then the all too painful break-up. You can work out what happens from there on.

This is a terrific film, to watch as a couple (the guys will probably like Famke, as she appears wearing very little most of the time), or to watch alone, and think about the pain of relationships. Or the good things about relationships. Depends what mood you're in really. The DVD is definitely worth keeping, full of fun, happiness, and sadness all at the time. Once in a blue moon, you will get a free DVD, that is actually really good! It will be a good addition to my growing collection.

Watch out for an uncredited `cameo' by David Schwimmer (Ross from Friends) too!

Summarylove can be hard
Content
Famke Janssen(The X-Men Movies, GoldenEye) and Jon Favreau(Made,Swingers) are perfect as the couple who get together then break up and then get back together again. The 2 when breaking up seem to be following each other and they have annoying opposites. Janssen gets involved with Noah Emmerich(The Truman Show, Windtalkers) who is really married. It's like this and Favreau keeps on bugging her. It's a good story with good actors. Highlight would be when David Schwimmer(Tv's just recently canceled Friends and Kissing The Fool)visits Favreau as a Johova's Witness
