Disappointing romantic comedy
After hearing a lot of good reviews about this movie, I expected it to at least be a somewhat entertaining chick flick. Although I laughed several times at some of Jane's theories about men, there wasn't enough comedy to keep me interested. Plus, the romantic parts were below average and the ending was disgustingly sappy. Both of the men in this movie were slimeballs (one was cheating on his girlfriend with Jane, the other slept with a different girl each night). There are a few redeeming qualities; for instance, Ashley Judd is a decent actress-she seems more down to earth than many other actresses out there. However, there is little that can save this movie-the plot is cliche and not very funny. The DVD also is lacking when it comes to extra features-it only has a few lame extended scenes and an alternate ending that is even mushier than the original ending. If you want a good romantic comedy, try Bridget Jones Diary, You Got Mail or My Best Friends Wedding. Skip this one.
