I cannot help it, I like this movie...I'm sorry
This movie has kind of grown on me. I initially did not like this movie very much because I was put off by Hugh Jackman's character, though, I like the actor a lot. Outwardly he portrays a sort of "man whore". But the more that I have seen this movie, the more that I have "gotten" the humor, the meaning, and the sincerity of Ashley Judd's performance specifically. Ashley Judd really knows how to cry! There are some classic scenes with Judd expressing her hurt and anger from her last boyfriend (Greg Kinear). These expressions include men bashing, missing his scent, getting obsessive about the way males think, and wanting just to be loved "truly" by a man. Ashley Judd really knows how to express herself well and her reactions are both priceless and precious!The moral is good, I believe, but I do have to agree with some of the other reviewers that her relationship with Hugh Jackman is not developed as it should be. You get a sense of how it is suppose to be, but find it a bit unrealistic to "all of a sudden" figure out who she really loves. I say, "watch it" and you will be able to relate to Ashley Judd's performance because she seems so real despite her "out of the blue" moment.
