Amazon.com:
An ultra-modern romantic comedy that portrays heterosexual and homosexual relationships with an openness and candor deemed either deserved or shocking depending on one's point of view, Love and Other Disasters explores the complex difficulties inherent in modern relationships while poking fun at those relationships and the business of movie making. The straight "British Vogue" assistant Emily "Jacks" Jackson (Sin City's Brittany Murphy) and the openly homosexual Peter Simon (Brothers and Sister's Matthew Rhys) are best friends who live together with a familiarity that's usually reserved for the closest of family members. Bathroom chats while one takes a shower and the other sits on the toilet are commonplace in this household and that same openness extends to discussions of their romantic and sexual relationships with the same or opposite sex. Jacks' usually accurate "gaydar" fails her when she meets photographer Paolo Sarmiento (Heroes' Santiago Carbrera) and thus begins a complicated relationship between Paolo and Jacks in which Jacks attempts to set Paolo up with Peter without his knowledge and Paolo yearns for a relationship with Jacks while assuming that she's romantically involved with Peter. Add into this unusual love triangle an ex-boyfriend James (Elliot Cowen) whom Jacks is still sleeping with out of pity; Jacks' emotionally distraught friend Tallulah (Catherine Tate); an elusive David Williams (Will Keen) who Peter bumps into and declares the object of love at first sight even though the two have never actually met; and a host of other farcically odd characters and the stage is set for a romantic comedy unlike any other. On top of it all, James is struggling to write a screenplay that reflects his own reality, but is finding honesty hard to adhere to in the Hollywood business of movie making. Guest cameos include Gwyneth Paltrow and Orlando Bloom. Viewers will find this modern twist on the classic romantic comedy quite funny and entertaining as long as they are willing to put aside any homophobic tendencies and laugh at the absurdities of the world we live in. --Tami Horiuchi

Love and Other Disasters is a film that very few people even know about. I happened to catch it, maybe 4 years ago as part of the Toronto International Film Fesival, when it was one of the movies showing that year. I saw it with two friends and we all enjoyed it very much! It's light...it's funny...it's cute...a great date movie...and has something for all adults, gay and straight alike (as it has a slight gay element) who like a good romantic comedy. After we saw it.... we never heard another ... Read More

I'm not into cheesy romantic comedies. This is a real romantic comedy because it is romantic and will have you rolling out of laughter all the time. Classy, well done, well performed, it is as good as a good glass of refreshing wine.

This movie managed to have something positive about it -- the aptness of its title -- a disaster! Or rather, a chain of disasters! Upon reading the reviews of so many eager Amazon fans, I was convinced that perhaps this film would offer pleasant, shallow fun. In fact, it didn't even offer that. What did it offer? Brittany Murphy's annoying breathy fake accent voice, bad acting, inane moments of pseudo-depth, ridiculous gratuitous nudity. They tried to make this movie entertaining by adding stock characters ... Read More

I thought love and other disasters was funny and witty. Brittney Murphy was a riot. Every character was fun and interesting in their own unique way. The story line was real even though it was a comedy. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves when harry met sally, sleepless in seattle,or jersey girl with jamie gertz.
