Academy Award(R)-nominee Kate Hudson (ALMOST FAMOUS, Best Supporting Actress) shines in this sexy comedy about three sisters and the one guy who offers them everything they've been looking for! When carefree Lucy (Hudson) finally meets her perfect man, Adam (Stuart Townsend -- 24 HOURS, WONDERLAND), she's ready to give up her wild ways and settle down for good ... with a trip to the altar. But while Lucy is busy making plans for her wedding, Adam is busy charming the rest of her family. The only quesiton is: does anyone really know the truth abut Adam? Also featuring Frances O'Connor (A.I., MANSFIELD PARK) in an outstanding cast -- critics everywhere are raving about this witty, sophisticated, and uncommonly entertaining comedy treat -- and so will you!

There is no snake in this Garden of Eden !

How can we be a perfect catholic in the days of contraception ? One way, and only one : share and share and share again, and then love and love and love again, in three words « share your love ». The man, lover and future husband of one sister is to be shared in mutual ignorance and perfect communion with the two other sisters, a little bit with the brother, and even a little bit more with the brother's would-be girlfriend and even a little tiny bit more or less with the mother of them all. It's a comedy but it is not at all hilarious, just comfortable, cosy and even kind of quaint, quaint like in Boccaccio or Chaucer. The best part of this film is that it is absolutely and deeply sexy and yet you will not see one breast, you will not even see the shape of any sexual attribute, you will hardly see any skin, and yet you will be moved in the deepest depth of your sensual excitement and excitation, in one word you will irresistibly desire and want and wish to meet that Adam and have a conversation with him, no matter what, and let fate and destiny and predestination decide whatever may happen later on. Be sure you will be absolutely flawless afterward because all that will feel, taste and sound absolutely pure, virginal and pristinely chaste, even and especially if it is nothing but exactly the reverse, in your mind, in your bed, or his, and even in your lingerie, or shall we say skin-clothing. This feeling is probably the best feeling such a light and superficial film can nurture in you. At least it is good for your general balance : you feel as if you were floating - mentally, spiritually and metaphorically - in the boat of your mother's uterus again.

A fizzy fun cottoncandy kind of film!

My partner was a bit disturbed by the proceedings of "About Adam". Too much deception for his tastes, but I don't think one can take the story of this film too seriously. It's about Adam, of course, this gorgeous guy (played by the gorgeous Stuart Townsend) who meets and becomes involved with the lovely Lucy (played by the lovely Kate Hudson, who has a wonderful singing voice that she gets to display in the flick). It's also about Lucy's two sisters and her brother and how they get to know her new boyfriend. Frances O'Connor delivers a terrific performance as Lucy's bookwormish sister who evolves into a new person as the film goes along. And I mustn't forget to mention that the film was filmed in Ireland (Dublin to be exact) and the accents are all quite believable.

"About Adam" is not a groundbreaking film, but it does offer some nice comic performances--and I enjoyed the way the writer/director Gerard Stembridge sets up the film from many different points of view. It's light entertainment, and sometimes you just want to curl up on the couch with just such a movie. At least I do.

Adam, it seems, has a BIG problem ...

... he can't seem to keep his zipper up! Now in real life, this would be a problem. But in the movies, this sort of thing can be very funny, for a person with an open mind such as myself. Adam shags basically anyone with 2 legs - dudes are not excluded. Stuart Townsend smiles, smirks, grins, his way through this entire movie, looking like he's having the time of his life while doing so. We find out at the end of the movie why he is the way he is. His simple statement of fact: "It just makes me happy to make other people happy". Hey, I'm all for that, and though I wouldn't go around humping people to prove my point, I'm all for helping my fellow man :)

I really liked this movie, a friend recommended it to me, and I'm glad she did. I think it is very good, I'm not sure I would call it excellent, but I did enjoy it very much, and was worth the price to buy & own.

Kate has the best hair!!

Okay, this was a funny movie that had a great plot and developed characters, but I'll admit that wasn't the thing I love most about this movie. Kate Hudson's character has the best clothes and cutest hair in this movie. She has a zillion costume changes and I looked forward to seeing what she'd wear next. If you're not that into clothes, watch it for its humor and wit.

About Adam

I purchased this movie before I had ever seen it only because it starred Stewart Townsend, because every time I watch him as Lestat in Queen of the Damned I wish it was my neck he was sucking... I had high hopes for this movie because of Stewart and Kate Hudson, but it was not exactly what I expected. It was not a horrible movie, but it made me look at my sisters relationships with my other half in a whole new light! It is an okay pick for a Sunday night flick, but I have only watched it once if that tells you anything.
