ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

ShangLuda Admirable film.

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

SnoopyStyle Jane Goodale (Ashley Judd) and unromantic heartbroken Eddie Alden (Hugh Jackman) are busy booking red meat for Diane Roberts (Ellen Barkin)'s daytime talk show. Ray Brown (Greg Kinnear) is the new executive producer coming from serious news. Liz (Marisa Tomei) is her best friend. Despite her reservations and his girlfriend of 3 years, she begins to go out with Ray. She leaves her apartment to move in with Ray but he breaks it off with her. She's forced to move in with Eddie. That's when she comes up with the New Cow Theory after reading a New York Times article. Bulls always like to have the new cow. Liz persuades Jane to write an article under a pen name. The article explodes and everybody is looking to interview the mystery doctor including Diane Roberts.The good news is that Ashley Judd is lovely and she's giving it all to be in a light rom-com. It's pretty light and not that funny. It's not really breaking any new ground with the single gal genre. The two leads Judd and Jackman are so likable and super hot that it keeps the movie from collapsing entirely. Greg Kinnear makes a nice douche turn but the question becomes why does she still care about him. This is generally not funny enough and not compelling enough. If not for the likable leads, there would be nothing to this.

OllieSuave-007 I am not a big fan of romantic comedies, and I really didn't have much of a choice when I watched this film - it was the only one the airliner was showing at that time when I was 30,000 feet up in the air. A story about a daytime talk show hostess who writes a sexiest column about men's behavior after being jilted by her boyfriend and gaining fame in the process, I thought this was an OK movie to pass the time.This movie has its moments from time to time - light comedy, romantic twists and drama. I thought Ashley Judd and Hugh Jackson had pretty good chemistry in their respectable roles, but I thought Greg Kinnear gave a very wooden and emotionless performance in his role. The plot did drag at times, but not to the point where it would put you to sleep.This movie isn't a masterpiece and not something I would watch over and over again. But, if it happens to be a movie I would come across while channel surfing, I might stop and watch just for kicks.Grade C

Jim Kobayashi I usually put high score on the films, so 6 is pretty low score, and I'm telling you this film deserves it.If you pick each actor/actress's works, they are just fine, they did good works. but IMHO somehow they are miscasted. Especially "the combination of the casts" is terrible in this film. For example, Keanu Reeves is a terrible actor alive on the planet, but in the film "Sweet Nobember" Keanu Reeves and Charlie Theron made a miracle, they are so good together and the combination of these two are great, so I liked that film. But in this film "Someone Like You" I didn't feel something special between Ashley Judd and Greg Kinnear or Ashley Judd and Hugh Jackman. It seems to me they just did their job, so even if every single of them did a good job, a whole movie is fail.Also it seems to me the movie is all about girl's feeling. How horrible men treat the girls, and ending of the movie is little too cheesy.But Don't Get Me Wrong. This movie is not terrible at all, some people might even love it. This is just not my thing.

shanyny_88 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!
