Ashley Does Comedy Well
This is the first movie I've seen Ashley Judd do comedy in & I thought she did a fantastic job. Judd plays Jane Goodale, the producer of a talk show, who gets dumped by Ray (Greg Kinnear). In her time of relationship mourning she develops The New Cow Theory which explains that like cows, men grow tired of women after they "get" them & move on to a "new cow." Based on Laura Zigman's book, Animal Husbandry, the screen adaptation was cutely done. Ashley Judd & Hugh Jackman have great on-screen chemistry and Greg Kinnear does a great job of playing an annoying ex-boyfriend. If you're looking for a light, romantic-comedy this movie is perfect for you. It's simple entertainment, with some cute male-female concepts. As long as you don't take it too seriously & appreciate it for what it is, I think you'll like it. From a person who enjoys watching cutesy romantic comedies, over & over again-I know I will.
