4.0 out of 5 stars
predictable romantic comedy,
By Byron Kolln (the corner where Broadway meets Hollywood) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Someone Like You (Widescreen) (DVD)
SOMEONE LIKE YOU offers some new spins on the formulaic romantic comedy, but falls into the same plotline that has been told a thousand times.Jane Goodale (Ashley Judd) is a talk-show talent scout with set ideas about love, sex and men. When she embarks on a doomed relationship with her newly-arrived workmate (Greg Kinnear - NURSE BETTY), she decides to write about her theories on men's "shag 'em and trash 'em" attitude to women under an assumed name. Moving in with her womanising co-worker (Hugh Jackman), Jane has no shortage of creative inspiration in her writings. However, she may just have come across the love of her life... A sort of movie version "Sex and the City", Ashley Judd does her best Sarah Jessica Parker inpersonation, complete with her sex-obsessed best friend (Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei) and her ballsy TV presenter-boss (Ellen Barkin). SOMEONE LIKE YOU is an enjoyable piece of fluff, and starts out with some great ideas, but falls into that rut which makes it indistinguishable from the thousands of romantic comedies which have preceded it.

Mediocre romantic comedy at best,
By
This review is from: Someone Like You (Widescreen) (DVD)
With an all-around talented and stellar cast, this movie really should have had a better script. With so much storyline potential, there never was enough character development to truly engage the viewer. I kept wanting to know more about why Hugh Jackman's womanizing character Eddie was the way he was; we are given only a small taste of what drives him. The superbly talented Jackman, however, makes the most of his role, bringing to his character more depth than I thought possible in such a superficially written role. The story is predictable, but there's not necessarily anything wrong with that; watching it, you want it to end the way you know it's going to end.Ashley Judd is immensely likeable as Jane in the first light romantic comedy role I've ever seen her in, and Greg Kinnear is spot-on as the guy who creates Jane's emotional turmoil. Ellen Barkin appears to have had the most fun in her role as a ratings-hungry talk-show host. Judd and Jackman have excellent on-screen chemistry. I just wish the movie delved a little deeper into its characters to make me actually feel what they were feeling; everything was a little too light in its treatment, and therefore held my interest only mildly.

someone that is exactlly like you!,
By Yaron (Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Someone Like You (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
well, I can start it off and say "this aint the best movie I've ever seen". it doesnt have this remarkable plot, nor this remarkable choose of cast. it didnt made me laugh at all. well, maybe just one time.so here I go and give this movie four stars. lets make it clear: I know that this scale is from 1 to 5, with 5 stars being the best. yeh, I still give it a 4, and not despite of what I said, but in spite. every 5 minutes the main character, played by ashley judd changes her perspective about life, men and whatnot. she even comes up with that theory, bonding men and cows into one strange web. strange huh?. "she's gone wayyyyy out far with that one" some will say, and I'll have to partly agree with it. but come to think about our normal lives, we all do it, especially with our love lives!. we always try to rationalize everything in life, and give explains to everything, and truth is, sometimes you just gotta play this game, without asking yourself "why am I doing this, or that", and just enjoy yourself.
