Tom plans to surprise Sara with an engagement ring, and he's asked his four best friends to witness the popping of the question at his place on Valentine's night. Trouble is Sara's left him a "Dear John" letter and will be by soon for her suitcases; plus, thinking it's a party, Tom's friend Sal has invited five women who were at his bar to come too. First the men talk - about women, sex, love, and homophobia (Tom's pals include a happily married guy, a gay man newly engaged, a metrosexual, and Sal, an inveterate player).

Movie Reviews

Austin Chronicle - 7/10 by Josh RosenblattIn its own peculiar way, What Love Is is a testament to the redemptive power of words. Thankfully, Callahan knows to keep it short and sweet, lest his audience go mad from the noise.
Variety - 3/10 by Peter DebrugePicture looks and sounds like an Off Off Broadway play.
Chicago Reader - 2/10 by Andrea GronvallRomantic comedies should never be this exhausting. Despite a few good zingers, Mars Callahan's vitriolic take on the sexes sinks under the weight of its secondhand psychobabble and smug apercus.
L.A. Weekly - 1/10 by James C. TaylorActor-writer-director Mars Callahan's diarrheal 10-character rant about modern relationships sounds like it was researched by eavesdropping on the restroom chatter at a high school prom.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 0/10 by Sean AxmakerIt's a shrill cacophony of puerile clichés about men and women and sex, delivered in adrenaline-driven harangues and arrogant lectures. When the stage clears, all that's left is the unpleasant odor of all that hot air.
Los Angeles Times - 0/10 by Mark OlsenDevotes itself to inflicting serious pain upon innocent moviegoers who wander into what is perhaps the single most poorly conceived and ineptly executed movie released to theaters in quite some time.
User Review - 10/10 by HondoJ.Auteur Mars Callahan has created a one-of-a-kind hilarious romp through the pitfalls of commitment. "What Love Is" manages to remain true to the rom-com form while at the same time avoiding the sappy cliches. The marvelous Matthew Lillard, last seen in a low-key turn as Shaggy in the Scooby Doo series, is alternately charming and menacing as the required best friend, and Anne Heche is breathtaking as the always-a-bridesmaid-never-a-bride older sister. Callahan's script operates at a breakneck pace, bringing to mind classics such as "The Philadelphia Story" and "Adam's Rib," appropriate since Gina Gershon reveals herself to be the next Katharine Hepburn. If you ask this reviewer "What Love Is," he'll tell you: the odds-on favorite for Oscar glory so far.
User Review - 10/10 by JohnS.I got the message of the movie. I can see how most people won't. 95% of the world has no idea what love really is and if you have no idea what it is then you probably won't recognize it when you see it. Most people believe that love is what they feel for a person. Love is not about what you feel. It is how you want the person you love to feel. When you care about another person more than you care about yourself then that is Love and that is the message in this movie. Like most people feel for their children, most people would rather die before allowing harm to their child.
User Review - 10/10 by FlyinfreeI recently had a chance to view this movie at a screening and it is a hilarious comedy. they have some of the clips at the website for the movie and while it may seem like the trailer has all the best parts, it doesn't. This movie has a lot more to give. It';s a love comedy for adults when a lot of love comedies are mostly for teens. In my opinion it's the funniest movie of this year.
User Review - 10/10 by RobertR.This movie is hilarious, a great way to get in to the spring break mood.
