Some romantic comedies can be silly, plotless attempt at just getting big names on screen (examples: The Wedding Planner, Simply Irresistable). But this film is considerably better as it is funny, cute without trying to be, and humanizes the characters. It also used the Bridget Jones formula of having two guys so that it doesn't become too obvious.The only real flaw in here was (and you're all gonna throw tomatoes at me for saying this) the sexism. I guess it's just a characteristic of the Chick Flick genre that men are portrayed as either unstable (Greg Kinnear's character) or womanizing (Hugh Jackman's). I think this film just took that male sexism to an extreme with the New Cow Theory. Ashley Judd gives a soliliquy at the end about how it's not accurate and I respect that, but still, if the protaganist was male and he made an animalistic theory about women, Gloria Steinem would jump on it faster than you can say "Betty Friedan".Still, if you're a guy who has tolerance for this sexist portrayl we get in Chick Flicks, go watch it.
