Someone Like You... (2001)

Really Surprised!

Must See Movie...

It is a performances centric movie

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

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

Ladies, we know what it feels to be completely in love and then be cast aside for little or no reason and it stings. Well our heroine in "Someone Like You" set about expressing her disgust of male behavior and her anguish at being dumped in unorthodox methods. I had no clue what to think of the film when I first watched, but within five to ten minutes I was laughing so hard that I began to enjoy the story. Now I'm not a girl who likes players, but I couldn't help immediately falling in love with the character of Eddie Alden, played by Hugh Jackman, just like Ashley Judd's character did. Way too funny and being a huge fan of Hugh's acting, how can I resist.Not a fan of rom-coms either, but as previously stated the acting and the wit and humor of the script was appealing to me. Give it a shot if you're a fan of the rom-com or comedy genre or if you need a good laugh on a bad day.

I saw this film for the first time this evening, and kept waiting for the enjoyment to commence. Unfortunately it didn't. I agree with those among the many comments here who were disappointed in this flick.I like Judd, Jackman, Kinnear and Barkin -- and have enjoyed all of them in other efforts. Seeing them listed in the same cast (having missed this picture completely when it was issued originally) I expected a pleasurable couple of hours.I liked very little about it. I didn't enjoy the characters or performances. I didn't enjoy the stories. The cost was listed in another source I checked as $23,000,000. In this instance, with this group, this was a waste of money almost criminal.
