www.eonline.com - : The X-Men's Famke Janssen has lost her ability to read minds--especially men's--when the magazine writer takes a look at her failed relationships while trying to stick with on-again, off-again artist boyfriend Jon Favreau. She writes about death and blow jobs, and he paints twisted pics of entrails and torture. He calls her ''horse-face,'' she criticizes his ''oversized head.'' And it's endearing, really, as the two engage in the tricky art of Love & Sex. Some loosely-stitched flashbacks of Janssen's love life almost lose the audience early on, but what director Valerie Breiman lacks in structural know-how, she makes up for with refreshing dialogue and the smart casting of two likable leads.
