In flashback, we see a sampling of Kate's romantic misadventures - from the boy who showed his affection by taunting her in the playground to her deflowering by her high school French teacher, to the obligatory married guy. As you probably suspect, Love and Sex is essentially a long episode of Friends set in LA with different actors. Some of the scenes are funny, some of the scenes are sweet, many of the scenes are annoying, but all of the scenes remind viewers of how very contrived they are. Except for the swear words and the semi-nudity, this could easily be a sitcom. A sitcom that comes after Two Guys, A Girl and One Remaining Viewer.
Nobody does a really terrible job.
Jannsen didn't completely annoy me. But I won't be lining up to see the Love and Sex director's cut, either. Sometimes watching the pain of someone else's relationship is funny. Sometimes it's just painful. Love and Sex leans a little more towards the later.
