Anyone want to see Brittany Murphy with an English accent? I always think of her as Tai in Clueless, so I was very tickled to see her in such a different setting. In Love and Other Disasters, she's a fun, flighty girl working at British Vogue and juggling all sorts of "disasters" in her personal life. But. . . no English accent. She's an American working in London. She looks absolutely adorable, though!
Her best friend and roommate is Matthew Rhys, and he's also afraid to enter into a relationship. They both try to have as much fun as they can without getting hurt - isn't that the human condition? If you think it is, you'll like this quirky comedy. Matthew's character is gay, and while there are quite a bit of gay jokes, (including a misunderstanding that's a huge part of the plot), there's enough humor to put you back in the 2006 mindset when everything was fair game.
If you don't usually like such fluffy movies, this one doesn't stand out so much in the genre to make you change your mind. It's pretty predictable, but it won't hurt you if you want to give it a shot. It's very girly, though, so either rent it for girls' night or only force your boyfriend to watch it when he really owes you one. Keep your eyes open for cameos by Gwyneth Paltrow and Orlando Bloom.
