A not-quite dazzling array of cinematic tricks (split screens, freeze-frames, running the film backwards, rapid editing, etc.) are used to depict college students floundering in the pursuit of love and meaning. Drugs, blow jobs, pornography, booze, rape, masturbation, '80s pop tunes, beatings, suicide, attempted suicide, faked suicide, loss of bladder control, and trite pseudo-philosophy are on display as pretty young actors with squeaky-clean images (like James Van Der Beek and Jessica Biel) attempt to dirty themselves up. The Rules of Attraction comes to life for about five minutes when an actor named Russell Sams appears for an outrageous restaurant scene, then slumps back into terminal disaffection when he departs. Also featuring Shannyn Sossamon, Faye Dunaway, Swoozie Kurtz, Ian Somerhalder, Kate Bosworth, Eric Stolz, Fred Savage, and many strikingly good-looking young people. The filmmakers are attempting to depict the vacuousness of today's youth but only succeed in portraying the void in their own hearts. --Bret Fetzer

 A Pretty Good Adaption of the Book January 1, 2010

While The Rules of Attraction is definitely not for everyone, I loved it and I'm sure that plenty of other people will love it too. Straying only slightly from the Bret Easton Ellis novel, the movie was able to capture the same feel as the book. I also enjoyed the great acting, creative cinematography, and excellent music. People looking for the usual romantic comedy film should probably steer clear of this one but if you're looking for something a little darker and edgy then you should definitely check it out.

Rules of Attraction that I ordered was delivered in good time. It is in good physical condition. I haven't yet viewed it so I can't speak of the DVD itself. I am happy with this purchase!
 Tries to hard... February 2, 2009

This movie tries too hard to be negative, empty, and depressing. The movie tried to shock its viewers, but it came across as freshman-year college film class "dark." I was very disappointed.
Great movie October 9, 2008

Interesting look at college-life from the perspective of a few hedonistic students. The book is way better.
