Only surprise repels formulaic 'Attraction'

By CHRISTY LEMIRE
AP Entertainment Writer

"Laws of Attraction" does everything "Intolerable Cruelty" tried to do, and then some.

Unlike last year's Coen brothers romantic comedy -- in which the witty banter and the repeated marrying and divorcing wore thin about two-thirds of the way in, despite the glorious George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones -- this movie stays light, crisp and snappy until the end.
