Movie Info

After years of absence 26-year old Kay returns to her home town. Her soccer coach died and the girls from the team all gather for the funeral. The stories of Celeste, Lisa and Marie seem to prove what Kay has long suspected: love makes you unhappy. But Kay's mother predicts that when Venus lines up with Mars, Kay will meet the man of her dreams. Then suddenly a mysterious American appears and an unpredictable adventure begins that changes Kay's idea of a happy life.

R, 1 hr. 33 min.

A mild cross between The Big Chill and Sex and the City, this English-language German oddity is a romantic comedy passing through on its way to video.

It's tolerable but forgettable.

Not exactly terrible, merely stale and pointless.

Venus and Mars has nothing to do with the ubiquitous John Gray book. And is, essentially, about the inevitable redeeming power of love. Which, unfortunately, is not what one is feeling when the credits finally roll.

This tale of twentysomethings manages to feel false every step of the way.

So derivative the dancing extras in a club look bored.

Simultaneously nakedly formulaic and oddly clumsy.

Sometimes the predictability of a romantic comedy is reassuring, and sometimes it makes you want to scream, as with this witless wonder.
