Love & Sex hasn't a strong, distinctive style, but what sets it a cut above many similar films is that for all its surface humor it has substance and emotional depth.

Love & Sex
Overview
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.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
It's slick, polished to perfection, derivative and stripped of any of the real quirks or idiosyncrasies that make a romantic comedy fly.
Ernest Hardy, Film.com
Rotten
It's tough to watch immediately likable actors endure such a mercilessly dull screenplay.
Paul Tatara, CNN.com
Fresh
This jovial and knowing aperitif of a movie is a charming example of what has come to be known as the date movie.
Jan Stuart, Newsday
Rotten
Marred by some soppy sections, casting that undermines the story's believability and a kind of self-consciousness that makes it hard to really care about the characters.
Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
