Can't believe no one's mentioned "Proof." Not only does nothing bad happen to our Jakey, but he is just about at the zenith of his hotness thus far (it was pre-BBM, so he's not quite there), AND I find it to be the one character of all of his that is, I'm only guessing, the most like what he is really like. OK, so he's probably not a math geek, but his character is a bit of a goofball who is also very smart and *very, VERY* sweet. As a matter of fact, I do believe I'll watch it again this weekend...
If you don't like Gwyneth Paltrow, it may be hard to watch. I think she's a wonderful actor, myself, and I thought she was particularly good in this one.
