       On a Saturday afternoon, I can really enjoy a good chick flick.  "Someone Like You" satisfied that part of me, but didn't do much else.  Perhaps you would be satisfied by the quick version:

Jane: Hi, I'm really smart and loveable, but I keep getting dumped.  And I'm beautiful, too, go figure.

Ray: Hi, Jane.  Bye, Jane.

Jane: I love you, I hate you, I love you, I'm over you.

Eddie: Hi, Jane.

Jane: I hate you.

Eddie: You're pretty. And intelligent.  Please give me a reason to stop being a womanizer.

Jane: Hey, you're kinda sweet. Here, why don't you take my heart.  I....love you.

      That's basically it.  I was so glad that, in the scene from the preview where she introduces herself as "Jane Goodale," they didn't totally ignore the chimp thing.  In fact, I think they were trying to make a point about animals, but throwing a chimp into a theory about a cow doesn't really work for me.  Oh, the cow theory itself, I guess that's something you'll need to see the movie for.  It should be important, but it came off as sort of incidental to me.

If you're up for this movie, be sure to get some popcorn.  Between the snack and the flick, you might feel totally satisfied.
