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:
Great Movie 
2009-05-14 - This is the type of movie you want the young girls and boys to see...to help them with future relationships. honestly.
Love, What Love is.
2009-03-21 - All the talk and all the real stuff that would cost you thousands of dollars on a psychiatrist sofa to learn. It's down to earth and brutal with honesty. If you ever had your heart broken, you have got to own this movie. After you see it, give it to a friend who had their heart broken.
oh and it's funny too.
Defining the terms of the question 
2009-01-02 - Mysteriously labelled a romantic comedy, this disappointed the critics who tried to see it as one. It's a fiendishly accurate depiction of the extreme positions we take over love-and-sex. Because it explodes stereotypical attitudes the film takes the form of conversation, the director/writer/actor adroitly blending the Woody Allen subject matter with His Girl Friday pacing. Each actor gets a manic stand up comic turn, each one does a good job with what they've got to deliver. It's smart, wise and funny. Best enjoyed by those who've made a relationship mistake or two and can afford to laugh at themselves. Not recommended for those looking for romantic comedies (which are often just a sentimental look at stereotypes). Here those stereotypes get their heads blown off.
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.
