TxMike We found this one on Netflix streaming movies. Not very high-brow but my wife and I enjoyed it for light entertainment. Especially with cute Kate Hudson in it, putting on her very best Irish accent.Kate Hudson is Lucy Owens , Dublin area waitress who also sings at the restaurant. (Yes, she does her own singing.) According to comments her family members make, she seems to change boyfriends about every week.But one day cute Stuart Townsend as Adam comes in to the establishment, she falls quickly for him, even asking if she can see him again, and he gives her his phone number. At their first date he meets all of her family members, her mother, her brother, and her two older sisters. Frances O'Connor is Laura Owens, Charlotte Bradley is Alice Owens Rooney, and Alan Maher is David Owens. The story is told from several points of view, each with a different experience with Adam. In essence he ends up seducing each sister, and has the brother wondering if he is being turned homosexual, after finding himself in bed with Adam and with a stiffy.As it turns out Adam is a nice guy, and when he marries Lucy we think they will have a happy life together. Adam just doesn't like to disappoint anyone, even sisters or the brother of his bride!

outfinity I think mar3429's comments hit it right on the nail for me (http://www.imdb.com/user/ur5155618/comments). I suppose a lot of women here did not find this insulting, but I sure did! Sex from a womanizer solves all your problems? On top of all the cheating, sisters actually willing to cheat with another sister's fiancé? I can't imagine ever sharing a man with my sister (which I consider as morally bad as incest, a sentiment that few may share but has been expressed in, say, Hamlet), and I certainly would not feel better after I did! I only finished the movie because I thought Adam and/or the sisters might learn a lesson. Or anyone learning a lesson that's not "sleep with Adam and you will be better off." No such luck.It's not that I think disgusting topics should never be filmed, but I can't believe it was made into a romantic comedy. What's romantic or funny about this? To put my opinion in perspective, however, I also think that movies in which people about to get married but instead meet some other person who is the man/woman of their dreams (e.g. Forces of Nature, Serendipity, etc.) is not romantic--that's called cold feet and unwillingness to commit! If you think you might feel the same way I do, please avoid this movie so as not to feel tortured.

pigletgirlkp About Adam is the most intelligent movie I have ever seen. I didn't really know much about the movie before seeing it but after watching it I couldn't help but be mad at myself for routing for Adam. Adam (Stuart Townsend) really wants to please everyone. So when he meets Lucy (Kate Hudson) he is introduced to her family including her two sisters. Bookworm Laura (Frances O'Connor) and unhappily married Alice (Charlotte Bradley). Soon Adam is Pleasing all the sisters and in a moment becomes engaged to love blinded Lucy. With the nuptials getting closer the sisters begin to grow and become more involved with each other's lives and Adam who loves them in his own way.

mix_no_1 i lived in Dublin when this film came out and it did catch the spirit of the time. Rich kids, trendy bars, just at the high point of the celtic tiger boom and Kate Hudson got the accent so 'roight' best Irish accent by an American I've heard. Another comment where they say it was useless(he is obviously an American 'top of the to you sor') its called a 'dart' accent. The film was a bit of an odd one alright Adam's personality and dress changes depending who he is wooing but he does it for all the right reasons 'a good shag and sure you'll be as right as rain'. I think it was the best Irish film to come out in a while.
