90 minutes of tedious conversation

The producers of this film obviously thought they were making a witty and absorbing conversational piece along the lines of Before Sunset. Unfortunately what they actually made was a rampantly tedious film about two characters who manage to spout pretty much every men-are-from-mars-women-are-from-venus cliche they could think of in the (thankfully) short running time. Every tired old topic is raised for inspection from male fear of commitment to the 'revelation' that women actually enjoy sex. It's worth noting that if you're going to make a semi-improvised film where your principle characters spend so much time talking, its worth finding actors who actually have something to say. 'Love & Sex etc' starts poorly, goes nowhere, and ends without a scrap of insight to be had. Awful.
