(pause) I hate you.
That was the line uttered by Ashly Judd right before she does a completely absurd cheerleading cheer brought on by the prompting of her womaninzing roommate, Hugh Jackman. Just one of the many, quite funny, but intended to be cute, lines in this movie, which...wasn't very good.BUT HEY!! I knew it wasn't going to be good. Y'see I was staying at a hotel and I love ordering movies, and they just didn't have that much of a selection. So, it was either Enemy at the Gates, a risky watch in my book, or a stupid romantic comedy that I could laugh at.Guess what I picked.So yeah, Ashly Judd is REALLY hot, so that was always nice. She really does have one of the prettiest smiles in the business. But she kept trying to be sort of Meg Ryan goffy and quirky, which became annoying on several occasions. Y'know she'd act like a five yr old. And I thought the the relationship between Marrisa Tomei and her seemed a little forced. And her big speech on TV at the end was completely ridiculous and anticlimactic. Very unsatisfying. And Ellen Barkin had a totall ridiculous role as well. Her speech about how she wooed her man back though was really great. "Two pastrami sandwhiches...lightly toasted." Just priceless.So that was the bad stuff, and there was more than that too, but there was, to be fair, some good stuff. Mainly, and you'll like this Rino, Hugh Jackman. I thought he was great. So much fun to watch. A real prescence. And funny too. He was great as the "wounded" womanizing roommate. I liked him more in this than I did in Swordfish. I think because he interacted more with people. Greg Kinnear was okay, but didn't have much to do. Ther were a few funny moments where they talked about the differences between women and men and why men ditch women they've already banged. So yeah, some of that was funny.But overall? Bad.C
