Editorial Review:
It's Valentine's Day and Tom (Oscar(r) winner Cuba Gooding Jr. -1996 Best Supporting Actor, Jerry Maguire) has big plans. He's about to get engaged and has a surprise party planned to share the good news with friends. But things take a turn for the worse. Tom returns home only to discover his girlfriend has packed up and left him. Now, instead of a surprise party, the surprise is on Tom. Fortunately, his friends - and a group of beautiful women - are there to help him make sense of it all in this bold romantic comedy about men, women and that crazy little thing called love. Also starring Anne Heche, Gina Gershon, Sean Astin and Matthew Lillard.
What Love Is Reviews:
Rapid Quick-fire 
2008-05-29 - Wow - just watched it, my head is spinning!
The most FAST quick-fire dialogue ever seen in my 60 years of movie watching.
Could have been a play, no real action at all. it's 100% dialogue. and man, is it fast! fast talking, quick wit, amazing script. the characters take turns telling their story, their gripes on love and the opposite sex. first the men, then, the women. the rapid wit firing back and forth is reckless speed of headache proportions.
The ending is sweet. meaningful even. I love the Frank Sinatra song that comes on for the ending credits. watch the credits all the way thru and there are some out-takes.
Funny, entertaining, mostly true stuff on love and sex and the games people play.
Not for kids. major big swearing and discussions of sexual nature. BJs, anal, cheating, nothing held back. not for prudes.
I really liked each character. all were cast perfectly.
be good - safe sex, kids!! Gramma Sally
What Love Is.... 
2008-05-13 - After watching this movie you many never know what love is. the only good thing about it was Shiri Appleby's and a couple of the other women's part in it.
So, skip the first 45 minutes of it and go directly to where the women finally enter the movie for the first time.
Movie Buff
2008-05-01 - Great dialogue between the characters. its nice to see Gina back on screen. enjoyed the differnt kinds of love expressed not just between a guy and a girl but love for companionship, love for attention and love for the sake of love. Cuba is certainly aging but he did a fantastic job as a love-eager man.
What Love Is
2008-04-26 - I've known about this movie for some time, but had not seen it. Some may complain about the language which is a little strong early. However, I would argue that it is true to what may happen in real life when 5 guys and 5 girls of their lifestyles get together in an emotionally charged situation?
I agree that the cover doesn't do the movie justice...get into the movie & you'll see a well played and designed story written, directed, produced, and starred in by Mars Callahan. The personalities were matched beautifully to the stars who played them. It was fun to match up the male & female counterparts as they were developing!! Go get this movie...
"What is Love" Movie Review 
2008-04-23 - Ahhh...Well this is surely to get people talking. More of a play than a movie type setting, this story bounces the personalities of 5 male and 5 female individuals in a dance between friendship, reality, and love. Well played, written, and especially directed (if you watch the extra's) this movie is a modern day event. Oscar worthy,,,,,no! Interesting and maybe a guilty pleasure...sure. Enjoy. Only complaint....the title and boxcover can turn people off. Ignore them and watch it. But, this movie is really directed at the 30 - 50 age group who can actually understand mature relationships.
