A definite "chick flick". Hugh Jackman & Greg Kinnear as romantic leads in the same movie - can it get any better? Yes, it can - add Ashley Judd, Ellen Barkin and Marisa Tomei, and you have a truly delightful mix of cute, sexy and funny characters in a great romantic comedy. The director is the talented actor Tony Goldwyn (bad guy Carl, friend to Patrick Swayze in the movie Ghost, who also happens to be Samuel Goldwyn's grandson.) Some favorite scenes include Ashley's skimpy cheerleading number in Hugh's bared, muscular torsoed presence, and the "let me hold you while you cry & sleep" scene with Ashley and Hugh.
I like romantic comedies, and this one fit the bill perfectly

I like Ashley Judd & Hugh Jackman, but I also like Greg Kinnear's talent on the screen. I don't think this is one of Judd's best because it seems much too unrealistic and the ending is too abrupt. I don't believe Jackman's character would give in so easily. But, it was a good attempt and at least the premise was different for a change. I was really touched by the hospital scene with the sister and her husband.
This is a great movie. It's part of my Hugh Jackman collection, and I wouldn't be without it. Someone's review complained that there weren't enough romantic scenes. Although I also would have liked to see more romance between Jackman and Judd, not having them intensifies the scenes between them and makes the ending more romantic. This is real life. The romantic situations we may want to occur, just do not always happen because people are timid and afraid of being hurt...just like in the movie. I highly recommend it if you want to watch how many relationships develop after people open their eyes to the people they didn't "see" before.
Haven't seen this movie in years. Just as much fun as I remember.
