Watch About Adam For Free

Pretty Good

Great Film overall

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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!

Lucy (Kate Hudson, with a pretty good accent) is the youngest of three sisters in London. She and her slightly older sister, Laura (Frances O'Connor) still live at home with their mother, due to monetary circumstances. Lucy is a singing waitress at a cafe and Laura is a graduate student at the university. As it so often happens, the two younger sisters are complete opposites. Lucy is a beautiful and outgoing gal who has been through a ton of boyfriends while Laura is shy and saving herself for a truly great romance. One day, a new, handsome man, Adam (Stuart Townsend) enters the cafe where Lucy works. She is smitten and invites him out on a date. He accepts. Soon they are quite close and thinking about their future together. Yet, one day Laura meets Adam when she is out and about and they find they, too, have a strong mutual attraction. If they follow their impulses, what will be the consequences? This is an appealing romcom, mostly due to the very good-looking performers, but it has a bizarre plot that challenges the normal boundaries of a successful love story. Without giving too much away, the film could easily have been called Adam and the Three Sisters. As such, the boy meets girl concept here becomes more boy meets girl, girl, girl, with surprising results. Then, too, although the costumes are wonderful (Hudson has never looked lovelier) and the settings quite nice, the actors have a thick British accent that is sometimes difficult to follow. Therefore, while the production values are of the highest standards, making the film look great, beware romcom fans. If your idea of a successful, comedic love tale insists upon a man having only one true love, this may not be the film for you. Even so, most romance fans are eager to find a new watch and will probably accept this one as an interesting diversion for an evening.

I saw this movie in German, so I don't have to elaborate on topics like correct accent or the location or class the story unfolds within. Instead I want to focus on the story that is being told. And I was very pleasantly surprised to see a "romantic story" told in the opposite way like Hollywood mainstream does in movies like "Sleepless in Seattle" or "While you slept" and countless others claiming to be "romantic" but not showing what romances a woman. This movie is different. It tells a long way of the story of how to romance a woman: By being a man who has style, knows how to present himself and has all attitudes many different kinds of woman find electrifying. A man who has the fast and sharp mind to perceive a woman's longings and desires in the first few seconds of seeing her. A man who completely understands how women think and feel and who has the skills to fulfill her longings and desires and is happily willing to give a woman pleasure. A man who reaps huge benefits from this without having to lie a single time. I cannot see where other viewers found Adam lying to anyone in the movie. Adam is not making any promises he could not fulfill, the opposite is true: When he realizes a woman may get too involved with him, he early makes it clear what his intentions are. Adam - "Nomen est Omen" - is the epitome of masculinity who knows what woman want and is happy to deliver to them, also by always being honest about his intentions. A last note about complaining Adam's character is too little developed: Being mysterious and showing various traits is a major quality of a man. Men: Learn from Adam!

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.
