Woody Adjacent - Jon Favreau, Famke Janssen, Valerie Breiman - Love & Sex (2000)

Welcome back to another episode of Woody Allen Adjacent

 

Today we are talking about a Rom-Com that hits all the typical beats that was made in the turn of the century with Actors that have come a massively long way since this feature - maybe nobodys seen it but it's Don's choice of the month

 

In Love and Sex (2000) Kate Welles (Famke Janssen), a sharp-witted journalist known for her explicit articles, finds herself fired for pushing the boundaries a bit too far. With her career on hold and a deadline looming, Kate reflects on her own chaotic love life in search of inspiration for an article on healthy relationships.

 

Her journey takes us through flashbacks of past relationships, from awkward childhood crushes to passionate but ill-timed encounters. We see her navigate the complexities of dating, facing challenges like a judgmental boyfriend hung up on her past and a fling with a charming but emotionally unavailable actor (Jon Favreau). As she grapples with the highs and lows of her past romances, Kate starts to question her own approach to love and intimacy in her life

 

On a side note - the video we referenced in that FRIENDS episode can be found here - unless youtube takes it down in future
