Kirsten Krehbiel | Through the Shattered Lens

In 2020’s Law of Attraction, Lexi Giovagnoli plays Allison Williams, a young attorney who is hoping to become a partner at her firm. The opposing counsel in her current case is named Derrick Walker. Allison hasn’t met Derrick but she has exchanged plenty of angry emails and had a few less than pleasant phone interactions with him. When Allison’s friend gets married, it seems like a good chance to Allison to get away from the daily grind of her job. And hey, there’s a cute guy at the wedding. His name is DJ (Joseph Almani)! Does anyone want to guess what the D in DJ stands for?

Law of Attraction is a cute movie. There’s nothing particularly revolutionary about the plot but Giovagnoli and Almani are both likeable and they have a sweet chemistry whenever they’re onscreen together. The weekend wedding leads to a lot of rehearsal shenanigans and some of them are funnier than others. For the most part, though, this is an enjoyable film. It’s the type of pleasant production that you can safely have running in the background while you take care of whatever else it is that you have to take care of during the day.

As for Eric Roberts, he makes a brief appearance as Allison’s boss at the law firm. It’s a cameo. Eric wears a suit and acts like a somewhat stuffy professional. He tells Allison not to screw up the case. It’s really a role that anyone could have played but I’m glad Eric Roberts picked up the paycheck.
