Some people go to unreasonable lengths to rationalize their romantic failures.
In Someone Like You, lovely Ashley Judd plays one of these misguided individuals. Frequently dumped, her character develops a ridiculous idea called The New Cow Theory as a way of explaining why men leave women. I know what you re thinking. That does take quite a suspension of disbelief, but the delightful actress makes this quirky role work for her. Ably assisted by Hugh Jackman as her womanizing roommate and Greg Kinnear as her latest ex, Judd turns in her best performance since Simon Birch.
