Someone Like You... Audience Reviews

Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
gingerlead-1 I loved the movie overall though her theory was based on little knowledge about the 'old cow'. Cattle only mate about once a year for one and once the cow has conceived her calf the bull shows no more interest because he can smell she is no longer receptive to him due to the baby calf inside her, just like dogs and many other animals. It was a touching movie other wise for the most part but puzzling about his departure at the last and when she caught up and kissed, gnawing on each others upper and lower lip it was extremely insensitive and did not reflect true love with a true kiss. It would have been better if they had simply gazed into each others eyes, hugged and walked away holding each other snugly instead of the insulting fake kisses. It was apparent he loved her from the beginning and conveyed that message well it's just that the last scene was truly disappointing to me.
adonis98-743-186503 Someone Like you is a 2001 Comedy starring Ashley Judd, Hugh Jackman, Marisa Tomei, Ellen Barkin and Greg Kinnear the plot is simple After being jilted by her boyfriend, a talk show talent scout writes a column on the relationship habits of men which gains her national fame. This is the first time since a long time that i saw a romantic comedy and i loved it Someone Like you is sweet, good acted and well directed and Hugh Jackman proves again that he can do anything even if it's drama, action, comedy or Wolverine. Ashley Judd also did a pretty good job as well the only problem i had was the role of Ray played by Kinnear and the way that women are small and helpless that they need this guy in order to feel safe when there's always a guy that they have friendzoned and it takes the whole movie to actually get it.
burford-29042 I think you have to have a martini in hand and be in touch with the part of yourself that fell for an manipulator (of either sex, and no matter your gender) or you'll be attacking this movie with your head rather than just experiencing the incredible performances, timing, and utter comic charm of someone like you. We're all ridiculous at times in the fantasy of love and connection and this movie captures our foibles perfectly--with the added plus that you can't take your eyes of ANY of the performers when they are in the room. That means doing double, triple duty as Ellen Barkin, Ashley Judd (brilliant) , Greg Kinnear (a chameleon, we love him) and Marisa Thomei inhabit the characters. The girlfriend side-kick is as gorgeous as the lead, and the men both hilarious. Along with He Said, She Said one of the best of the genre from this decade. Go for it.
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.
