I suppose this movie is passable if you're looking for some mind numbing rubbish after a long day. I watched for Jackman, but I don't know why I stayed. The sex scenes and final kiss are so awkward and overwrought I had to look away. It's like watching two excited puppies attack each other and really killed the vibe. Also, the protagonist unapologetically begins an affair at one point and then spends an hour blaming men for the woes of the world and nobody, NOBODY says "what did you expect, lady?", after her heart is inevitably broken. She should have apologised to the other woman, it's actually very messed up. All this aside I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys ongoing cow analogies that frequently mention "male cows".

I watched this when I was sick in bed with the flu and it was kinda perfect. A breezy romantic comedy that sees a very likable Ashley Judd looking for true love. When she gets dumped by her boyfriend (Greg Kinnear) she tries to recover by researching male mating patterns; comparing them to that of wildlife, (bulls, dogs, old cows etc) while also sharing an apartment with her co-worker pal (a super sexy Hugh Jackman).So yeah this is a totally predicable chick-flick but I liked everyone in it and it didn't insult my intelligence too badly. The story was fun and easy, as was a younger Hugh Jackman playing the charming womanizer (easy on the eyes that is).For some inexplicable reason (because I don't usually notice these types of things) I also really liked Ashley Judd's wardrobe here, but that could have been the cold medication. Also included here Marisa Tomei, Ellen Barkin and a lot of smoking, which I guess people still did back in 2001. *Sigh* 11/7/14

Tony Goldwyn's 'Someone Like you' is a typical romantic comedy set in New York. What I liked about it is the unusual casting (that includes Ashley Judd, Hugh Jackman, Greg Kinnear, Marisa Tomei and Ellen Barkin) and also the message behind it: that not all guys are jerks :). Goldwyn uses the same ingredients that have made romantic comedies successful in the past. The setting is pretty much the same as any other New York rom com. Ashley Judd carries off the lead role very well. Hugh Jackman too does a fine job. Greg Kinnear does an equally convincing job and Marisa Tomei is very likable as Jane's best friend. The jokes work well even though some of them feel a little deja vu. Also, I would have liked to see a development in the romantic relationship between Eddie and Jane. Yet, it was fun to watch a romantic comedy with a fresh cast.

Being a hopeless romantic myself I usually go for the ideal romantic comedy (boy meets girl, they fall in love, something happens, they break up, they get back together, they live happily ever after). And even though Someone like you doesn't exactly stick to those guidelines I did enjoy the movie to an extent I was actually surprised of.I found the whole cow theory hysterical and loved Ashley Judd's performance. Hugh Jackman is both sexy and sweet in his role of womanizer/friend.In the end it's a funny movie, with realistic notes.OK, so there are parts in the movie that are predictable! But hey... most romantic comedies ARE predictable and come on now be truthful, that's a reason why we watch them!
