I don't think this movie new what it was supposed to be adapting or maybe it didn't care. A movie very much of its time is given an update and what's left is basically a feature length perfume commercial.
Not horrible really. I don't know how I feel about Jude Law's nice guy interpretation of this character. He is sort of developed but I never got the impression of a womaniser, just a straight guy who found the magic spell that lets him have sex a lot. He's nice to the larger lady and stuff but...I'm not sure what I'm supposed to make of everything.
Stylish and cinematically radiant (colors from street lights reflect from a dark window spattered with rain), its slick and sort of funny though not in a way that's easy to take for more than ten minutes at a time. It is not the mature rumination that it thinks it is as the only message here is "sex can cause problems".
I always did find it pretty sexy and kind of arousing as a kid so like I said, it's not like this movie has nothing to offer but in a word: sophomoric.
