Love's Labour's Lost From the get-go, the movie is all ugly, no truth. Mike might be a little rough-edged, but Abby is a control freak, bossing everyone from underlings to blind dates. Something is very wrong when the beast is instantly more endearing than the beauty, and when a movie written by three women (two of whom did the very entertaining Legally Blonde, also directed by Luketic) becomes an unplanned essay in misogyny.

The fall of Islam's traditional powers - imperial dynasties such as the Mughals and the Ottomans - created a hunger for a more muscular religious identity than that found in the intoxicating whirl of a dervish or the quiet wisdom of a sage.
