The Hollywood Reporter
For comedy, director Peter Howitt relies on halfhearted slapstick as the script contains little of the sharp dialogue one might expect from a script written at least in part by Harling ("Steel Magnolias," "Soapdish"). - 50
Variety
While slight comic concoction is so airy it seems in danger of floating right off the screen, the pleasant retro vibe and a handful of effervescent moments carry this film no self-respecting heterosexual male would dare see except on a date. - 50
Village Voice
Our counselors' lawyer-ese is illegally bland, and their committee-penned banter meticulously Botoxed. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
Operates on such outdated, unimaginative conventions of movie chemistry that Moore and Brosnan end up appearing older and stodgier than necessary. - 50
ReelViews
Laws of Attraction is a standard-issue romantic comedy that's missing a key ingredient: the attraction. - 50
Chicago Tribune
It's a middling film that wastes a lot of good opportunities, as well as two fine, charming co-stars. - 40
