ANIMAL Attraction is a romantic comedy which never gets off the ground, a sort of pilot for an American sitcom that never got made.
If you think of a cross between Ally McBeal, Friends and Frasier, you have a rough idea of the story. But the humour is too forced, the situations quite unbelievable.
The lovely-looking Ashley Judd plays a television producer who falls for a nice-looking new executive (Kinnear) and plans marriage and a shared home.
Then it all goes horribly wrong when he goes cool on the whole idea and dumps her.
She moves in with a woman-chasing friend played by Hugh Jackman and develops this theory that men are like bulls who have sex with just one cow before moving on the the next.
While the theory is stupid in the extreme, she invents a newspaper agony aunt who dispenses such theories and becomes a major media figures with television producers chasing her.
It's all a bit obvious and you won't need a deerstalker, pipe and magnifying glass to work out how this one ends.
Ultimately it is so lightweight it almost blows away with unbelievable characters, situations and performances.
