It seems obvious that I cared very little about this movie, if I am reduced to asking such a question. Dale Launer wrote and directed this early comedic showcase for Sandra Bullock, its title taken from the hit song of years past. 5 out of 9 found this helpful The scene where the nasty superficial gal crushes his ego at the bar must really hit home with a lot of men. She does this very successfully in Love Potion No. And it was funny.

The bar scenes were very good.

And then I could ask why he was cast as a British prince? It is not a good movie at all. Sandra looks great but otherwise doesn't hint at future stardom.

This movie is not great cinema, but as long as you don't go into it looking for earth-shattering insight and emotional depth, its actually an amusing little time waster. . But I see where they were going with this. Enjoyable, funny and interesting. Problem is that plot involving love potions could have actually been the basis for an entertaining movie.

Strained romantic fantasy has two science nerds made attractive and popular by a gypsy woman's love spell. 9. . 9," which has been rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian), has a lot of vulgar language and some sexual situations. Please note that they are comedies, not artsy message movies. But it's a great fairy tale, Anne Bancroft's brief scenes are funny, and Tate Donovan is a man I can get behind! Don't get me wrong. That laugh comes when, looking into Paul's hand, she frowns, spits into it and rubs it with a cloth as if to clean her glasses. With Tate Donovan, Sandra Bullock, Mary Mara, Dale Midkiff.

In fact "Love Potion Number 9 was the first movie I had seen her in. And say what you want about Bullock, but here she shows why she became a huge star with her megawatt smile! 9 is gonna make most serious movie lovers' seriously question my taste in movies, but I do not care. Will Paul win the affections of Diane? It's "okay" for a gentle laugh. They wanted somebody semi attractive in crappy clothes to look like a hooker who takes advantage of the male cause he was irresponsible with it. Diane, however, is also making use of the potion and is suddenly surrounded by suitors. The blonde hooker was a little too much for me. I guess even the most sub-par of movies can provoke a little bit of wonder in viewers. Being an avid Adrian Paul fan also made the film that much more enjoyable. Dale Launer, who wrote, produced, and directed this film got a bum rap. This film is no great shakes. Love Potion No.

* from **** It works quite well. A soon-to-be-married man encounters an exciting stranger after his plane suffers an accident on takeoff. Much of the second half of the film is hopelessly predictable, and is routine in the extreme. .

If there were potions like this, there would be millions of $ for it and against it, plus lots of lawsuits. The movie's goofy but original premise conceals its relatively cliched plots, and all concerned appear to be having fun. The film takes its name from the 1959 hit song, Dale Launer's "Love Potion No. If it's an affair of the heart there are test model love potions running all the way from one to Love Potion No. The thoroughly unoriginal second half left a bitter taste in my mouth, and that made it too standard to recommend. 1 out of 1 found this helpful Was this review helpful? 9", inspired by the song of the same name, sounds like on of the worst films ever made. Was this review helpful to you? But my favorite is Mary Mara, a great character actor given a chance to play a broadly funny, well, broad. The story is about a love potion, that enables a person to make people of the opposite sex become completely infatuated with them by simply talking. The film works though.
