Ashley Judd brings irresistible fun to this sassy romantic comedy about a young woman looking for Mr. Right… in all the wrong places! Jane Good (Judd) is a talk show talent scout whose shaky love life drives her to study the curious mating habits of the male animal.

8 / 10
A nice romantic comedy that tells the "old cow theory" story in a hilarious way.
The video transfer is good. There are no compression signs to be seen, however, a few scratches can be easily spotted. The WTC shots are a gloomy reminder of the September 11th tragedy.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is ok. Since this is not a special effect movie, most of the action takes place in the front channels and in the center channel. However, the surrounds are nicely used to enhance the atmosphere in a party scene.
The menus are animated with sound.
The extras include a commentary, a behind the scenes look and 8 extended scenes (including an alternate ending, which is not as good as the original one).
Bottom line - a nice movie for a quiet evening at home (no popcorn, though).
