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.
