Outmoded, outdated rubbish

Romcom

Possibly it's the sparkle-free dialogue, the silly scenarios or the blatant plug for Irish tourism, but probably it's the antediluvian attitude to women.

Audrey (Julianne Moore) is a fiendish overachiever with no social life; Daniel (Pierce Brosnan) is the newcomer who outsmarts her in the courtroom - and the bedroom, the bar-room and anywhere else this dumb movie plonks the couple.

How come it's OK for a man to have no friends and no dates, but a woman in the same position must have her loneliness and inadequacy constantly pointed out? And what are Brosnan (who gets more gorgeous by the year) and Moore (who does her considerable best with this miserable role) doing in this?
