Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

bjarias Hers' was a very strange death.. and then her boyfriend goes and dies of almost the exact same causes a year later in the same house.. seriously very strange. Anyway, this film makes her loss that much more poignant, for this production is pure Brittany Murphy at her charming best, and it could very well be the best movie she's made. And Matthew Rhys matches her stride for stride... the two of them making this one of the most enjoyable rom-com's of the year. Sure it's the totally predictable formula, but it's fairly well written, and the overall cast is solid. You can watch a good number more films of any genre, and this will most likely be among the top for ease of enjoyment.

phoenixfyrs Yes, Brittany Murphy has a horrible accent in this movie. That however is explained half way into the movie when she reveals she was born in England, her parents died, she was shipped off to family that lived in the US, then returned to England. So she really doesn't have an English accent more of just a formal way of speaking. Yes the accents were horrible, but I love this movie though. Funny though that Matthew Rhys who was born in Wales and spoke Welsh for a good part of his life, does an American accent better than a London accent but just saying London accent is like saying an apple. If you've met 2 people from London you know none of them talk exactly alike.Poking fun at the romantic comedy genre, every character in this movie is an emotional mess. Brittany's character breaks up with her boyfriend, only to continue dating him and having sex with him, but insisting they've broken up. The one guy she has a true emotional connection with in the movie besides Matthew Rhys' character, Paulo is because she thinks he's gay and she doesn't stand a chance. Matthew Rhys character is gay and falls in love with men until he actually gets to know them, then finds some flaw in them and sneaks out the back door. He spends most of the movie, trying not to be set up with the man of his dreams, only to find out he got the guys name wrong, actually goes out with the man of his dreams only to find himself bored to tears. Catherine Tate's character is an emotional train wreck with Sybil at the switch, and I absolutely love Stephanie Beacham as her mother.This movie might not win any awards but it got some good laughs from me, kept my interest, and I wasn't bored.

kim_smoak Poorly acted…very poorly acted. That is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of this movie. I usually like Brittany Murphy's movies…but this one…not so good. She tried to put on this obviously fake British accent…and it fails. I feel so bad for saying some of this, because I know that this was one of her last movies she made before she died. She didn't really go out with a bang like Heath Ledger did with Batman. I just wished there was more of a love story and a romance...maybe a spark...but there was nothing! Oh well, it's not a terrible movie...definitely worth watching once...but maybe just once.For daily movie reviews visit: kimsmoak.com now!

napierslogs "Love and Other Disasters" is just as the title says. It's about love and love-like disasters mistaken as love. It's not your typical romantic comedy because it's better than that. There's quite a few lines that are making fun of the genre but paying a sort of homage to it as well.The late Brittany Murphy stars as Emily Jackson, 'Jacks', who takes her cues in life and style from Holly Golightly. The filmmakers as well have taken their inspiration for the look, feel and tone from "Breakfast at Tiffany's".The best character in the film is Peter played by Matthew Rhys. In romantic-comedy-speak, he's the gay best friend, but again, he's better than that. He's very funny and in a much more realistic way than the other characters are, and his musings on love probably mirror those of the audience more than the other characters.The film is very fast-paced, with witty dialogue, and a light-hearted manner. I recommend "Love and Other Disasters" for: fans of "Breakfast at Tiffany's"; fans of the dialogue of "Gilmore Girls"; fans of Matthew Rhys; and definitely aspiring-screenwriters - the filmmakers have made a number of inferences to the craft of screen writing that I think it becomes a must see.
