- Synopsis
- A waitress meets personable, attractive Adam and they soon become lovers, then get engaged. Wasting no time, Adam starts an affair with her bookish sister, who knows about the first relationship. Their (none-too-happily) married third sister knows about both these liaisons but is still attracted to Adam. The lad is certainly playing the field, but in their own ways the girls seem to be getting just as much out of the deal as him.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Unlike 'Four Weddings,' which ultimately was moralistic and conservative in its message 'About Adam' is a frolic free of any judgments, and marked by Stembridge's sparkling wit."
-
"A sly romantic comedy made with wit and style."
-
"Sweet, likable and consistently engaging, if so insubstantial that it's always on the verge of blowing away."
-
"Delightfully reflect the abandonment of the old image and way of life."
-
"With few laughs and no real poignancy, the movie's success rests squarely on Adam's oft-naked shoulders."
-
"Thanks to Hudson and the other women, it's a moderately beguiling date movie."
-
"I might have liked 'About Adam' more if its supposedly irresistible hero -- and the movie itself -- hadn''t been so smirky."
