I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!, 6 Feb 2002
By A Customer
I managed to drag my friend along to see this movie with me last summer despite her doubts towards the title (it is a little wierd.) We didn't expect much as we didn't know the storyline; all I knew was that Ashley Judd (one of my fave actresses at the mo now) and the gorgeous Hugh Jackman were in it. Since seeing it then we've rented it several times, and both have bought the (regional code 1-American) dvd- (in the U.S. it's actually called 'Someone Like You'- but called 'Animal Attraction' in England-confusing i know!!) On the American dvd (which I'm sure is pretty much the same as the regional code 2 dvd) there are TV Spots, Trailers, Featurette, Deleted scenes (which are great) and a (very cheesy but fun) Alternate ending. So what's the plotline? Very simple really: Jane (Judd) falls for new work collegue Ray (Greg Kinnear) who then dumps her, leaving her homeless. Then cue womanising Eddie (Jackman,)another work collegue who happens to have a room to rent...Amidst all this Jane discovers a theory relating male human behaviour to male 'cow' behaviour (the 'Animal attraction' meaning)which recieves much popularity from the public...and leads to all sorts of events etc. Jane doesn't believe she'll ever fall in love again, and of course you know the ending but it's SO good as all the characters are very funny and loveable, even love rat (Kinnear) and the tough boss at work (Ellen Barkin.) Marisa Tomei is also great as Jane's amusing best friend and fellow-survivor in heartache, who aids Jane along the way. Being honest, this is not a man's film at all, but young girls and women (my mum loves this too)- if you need some cheering up or like me just like cheesy romantic comedies then you MUST see this!!! There wasn't much publicity made for this film, yet people I've recommended it to- have all come back and said how much they liked/enjoyed it. ***On another note, the soundtrack is really good for this movie - but if you really want that song that appears on the advert (and NOT on the soundtrack) it's called 'Closer To Myself' by Kendall Payne, and it's available on one of her albums and 'Never Been Kissed' soundtrack (which is a great cd)- other friends have asked me this before. Now Go and see this movie!!!

This is such a great film for the girls!, 27 Oct 2004
This is one of my absolute faves when it comes to the romantic comedies. It is such a funny film that it had me roaring with laughter at some points.It tells the story of Jane, who after an affair with one of her co-workers, comes to the conclusion that men are all a piece of dirt, (nothing new there then!) and that they have the same behaviour patterns as bulls. The scientific theory is that once a bull has mated with a cow, no matter if you dress it in sexy lingerie or spray it with another cow's scent, it will never mate with the same cow twice. Jane comes to truly believe this theory applies to men too! Along the way we have the delightful talents of Greg Kinnear, who plays his snivelling, slimy character fantastically, and of course, Hugh Jackman who just oozes pure sex on legs! Throw into the mix a great performance from Ashley Judd a small but brilliant performance from Marissa Tomei, and you have the perfect recipe for a cosy night in with the girls. So, who needs a man huh? MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

WEIRD NAME - VERY COOL MOVIE, 22 Jul 2004
Meet Jane goodale, she has everything a girl could possibly want. Great job, nice friends and one hunk of a boyfriend called ray. Everything is perfect. She's living with ray and hving the time of her life until one day he suddenly dumps her. Heartbroke and homeless Jane decides to write a column which accuses ALL men of being cheaters. But while looking for a place to stay womanizing co-worker- Eddie Alden enters the story. Not only does he give her a place to stay he becomes a perfect person for Jane to study. And as their relationship grows Jane suddenly gets some astounding astartiling news. One great movie which you MUST see. Plus it's chance to see Hugh Jackman with nothing on except a pair of black boxers. What more could you want?
