Rating:  - Fashion Feast
The only reason to wach this very silly movie is to experience the glorious fashions of the early 1960's. But they are pretty glorious. Paul Newman at the height of his physical perfection is another type of eye candy. Brad who?
Rating: - CUTE CUTE MOVIE
I'm in love with Paul Newman so this might sound a little biased. It is such an adorable movie. My boyfriend and I laughed so many times and it is just a cute, fun movie with a nice man to look at while watching. I LOVE YOU PAUL!!!!
Rating:  - disappointing Kind Of Love
I'd not seen this movie before, but being a HUGE fan of Newman+Woodward, thought it worth the gamble of buying it ... sadly, I was horribly disappointed with the movie ... the only good thing about the whole thing is watching the Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward acting together, knowing they were a couple in real life. What a load of twaddle is this movie!@*! But then again, to each their own.

A NEW KIND OF LOVE is a sleek and stylish romantic comedy starring Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman--as romantic cynics on working holidays in the city of Paris.
Joanne Woodward plays Sam, a fashion designer who copies her pieces from other houses and sells them in a bargain-basement department store. She's a "semi-virgin" who has given up on love--until during a buyer's trip to Paris she meets womanising journalist Steve (Paul Newman). There aren't any sparks until Sam hits the salons and reinvents herself as "Mimi", a glamorous call-girl with a neverending collection of colourful stories.
Steve syndicates a column about the misadventures of "Mimi", until Sam's double life begins to spin hilariously out of control--and Steve's real feelings are discovered...
A NEW KIND OF LOVE is a colourful trip to Paris, filled with gorgeous gowns (provided by the leading fashion houses including Magnin, Pierre Cardin, Christian Dior, Lanvin-Castille, and Yves Saint Laurent). Edith Head also provides the regular wardrobe for Joanne Woodward. Never before and never again would Ms Woodward look half as ravishing as she does here. The wigs and clothes are out of this world! Ms Woodward was Golden Globe Award-nominated for her work.
Paul Newman delivers a great comedic performance here, too. The supporting cast includes the ever-reliable Thelma Ritter (in a Laurel Award-winning performance), George Tobias (aka Abner Kravitz from "Bewitched"), Eva Gabor, and ... Read More
Rating: - Very thin sex comedy, dressed to kill but with nowhere to go...
"A New Kind of Love" is a tasteless sex farce that must have looked bad even in script form, is Newman's worst film... It's a result of the old Hollywood cliché: a simple, mannish woman foolish1y devotes herself to a career instead of doing what women are supposed to do--hunt for husbands... But give her beauty treatments, a new hairdo and expensive clothes and she'll straighten out and find a man...
The new twist is that after her metamorphosis, the man mistakes her for a prostitute...
Although she's humiliated, she encourages his misconception, telling him sensational stories about herself until he falls in love with her! The implication: if fulfilling a man's infantile sex fantasies is the only way to get him, it's better than being an ordinary career woman...
Joanne Woodward plays a fashion designer who, with blonde wig and showy makeup, actually looks more dull than before, and Newman plays a sportswriter whose "athletics" with blonds has kept him from winning the Pulitzer Prize... He's in the usual role of alcoholic satyr, but now we're supposed to find that hilarious... As usual, he has some effective lecherous looks and self-disgusted expressions, but as in his first comedy, he's generally clumsy and graceless...
