Julianne Moore and Pierce Brosnan turn on the movie-star twinkle in Laws of Attraction . They're both divorce lawyers whose in-court conflicts give rise to sparks of an entirely different nature--and while they're in Ireland, trying to determine whether the husband or wife in a rock-star divorce deserves to keep a swank castle, they "accidentally" get married. Back in New York, they agree to keep up the pretence of marriage, lest a quickie divorce make them the … mehrlaughingstocks of the legal community. Few comedies are as outright clumsy as Laws of Attraction ; the plot falls apart even as you're watching it, the dialogue stumbles, the direction is graceless. Somehow Moore ( Far From Heaven , The Hours ) and Brosnan ( Tomorrow Never Dies ) sustain their charm--but if you're looking for a comedy about divorce, Intolerable Cruelty or the classic Adam's Rib provide a lot more fun. --Bret Fetzer weniger
