Summary: Girls, it's a must have!!!
Review: Judd and Jackman make a very unorginal plot breathtaking and hilarious. Greg Kinnear and Marissa Tomei are also wonderful in this film. Let's face it, 99.9% of us women are entranced and in love with romantic comedies. Someone Like You is no exception for me! Although very predictable, I still loved this movie. THere is no way in this world that you could be disappointed, unless you're a straight male. Judd plays Jane Goodall, a woman who's heart is broken by Ray(Greg Kinnear.) Goodall moves in with Eddie(Jackman) to lash out at Ray. The whole movie is just amazing. Please rent, if not buy this movie and watch it over and over again!

Summary: someone that is exactlly like you!
Review: 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.
thats the whole essence of that movie! thats why its not extremely catchy, sticky and everything. it avoids from being pretentious, or delivering this never-been-seen-before plot. thats your avarage life, right there!!. it convies you with a sweet feeling in the end, which being passed throughout bitterness, sharpness and with just a bit of sticky sweet love. just like in real life, where buying a guitar for some girl wont make it up to the fact that you've been paid for asking her to the prom. those stories do accour in life.

Summary: Fun movie
Review: I just discovered this little gem when I was away on business, never knew it existed before. It's a fun movie that will get you giggling and also touch your heart strings, especially the scenes where she really misses him. It's awful, the emotional pain! Rarely do I watch movies over and over but this is one that's fun for a Friday night when you just want to see something fun and familiar. You'll enjoy it.

Summary: Someone Like Hugh ... and Ashley
Review: This is a great romantic comedy. I wouldn't say that it's surprising or rip-roaring hilarious, but it is different. It's not your typical girl meets boy, they don't like each other, then they fall in love routine. This one is a threesome of sorts, which adds an interesting angle ... or triangle as the case may be. Ashley Judd plays PR person (or something of that nature - her title isn't named) Jane Goodall for a sleazy Sally-Jessie-esque talkshow in NYC. Ellen Barkin turns in a very good performance as the sleazy talkshow host. Also working at this talkshow set are Ray (Greg Kinnear) and Eddie (Hugh Jackman). Kinnear's boyish good looks and charm make it easy to believe that Judd's character falls in love with him quickly, but make a little surprising to find that he's such a pig ... er, bull. The animal comparisons that underlie the entire plot add a lot of spice to this quintessential chick flick. And I do mean chick flick, if ever there was one. This is one of those movies where women who have ever had their hearts broken can cheer Judd on in her emotional journey (and breakdown). Men without a sense of humor may be a bit offended or take exception to the premise, but all comes out well in the end as in all romantic comedies. Hugh Jackman gives a stellar performance as a hunky womanizer with a sensitive side. Ashley Judd is her usual perky, plucky, sweet self in this film, and her comedic timing is good too. Greg Kinnear, as previously mentioned, was a good choice for his role as the third main character in this love triangle. Also worth mentioning is the lesser part played by Marissa Tomei, as Jane's best friend Liz. Tomei is as good as ever, even in this small supporting role -- and so adorable! I own this DVD and have seen it at least five times -- it's a definite buy for any woman who is a fan of romantic comedies.

Summary: Not sure
Review: Ever watch a movie and you're sure it wasn't god but you're not sure if it was actually bad? Thats how I felt about this one. Maybe because Jackman and Judd get together romantically and then the movie immediately ends. We see them being friends and roommates but we don't see how their relationship would actually work. I think that was a big letdown. Kinnear and Judd are fun and so is Ellen Barkin but the movie sort of stretches out this animal husbandry premise so long that the two main dating relationships for Judd are cut off before a thorough examination by the audience is available.

Summary: THE BEST ROMANTIC COMEDY!!
Review: Sometimes short is best, so I' m not gonna write a long extended review.One of the best romantic comedies I've ever seen in my life.It is everything that a romantic comedy should be, and it doesn't get too predictable, like most romantic comedies, where you can just tell what will be said next.It's not like that in this one. It's charming without trying too hard, sentimental, and actually SINCERE, not overly gushy, and funny, without being cheesy.The acting is perfect, and I really couldn't find one thing to complain about, everything flows together.Ashely is brilliant.She's the future of female acting in Hollywood(along with Renne Zellwegger), and proves that she is a comedian.Hugh Jackman is just wonderful, not to mention sexy as freakin hell.I am in love.and Greg Kinnear, and Marisa Tomei are fabulous as well.This movie is reccomended to anyone who wants to enjoy great comedy.I'm not bulls**tting ya.Don't listen to people who write this off as another annyoing chick flick.It may not revolutionize in cinema, but it sure as hell does show us that there are still filmmakers out there willing to create a romantic comedy with some imagination.

Summary: Sweet Little Movie
Review: I know that this movie got "mixed reviews," whatever that means, but I found it charming and sweet and rather touching at some parts. I enjoyed the DVD for all the extras, too. I loved listening to Hugh Jackman with a different accent than his native Australian, and the oh so proper English accent he used in that other romantic movie he was recently in.
"Someone. . ." touches on so many emotions, and Ashley Judd is funny and manic, and her comic timing is great. I am very happy that I bought this movie. Don't miss the cheerleader scene. Hugh Jackman was gorgeous.

Summary: Animal farm
Review: Chick flicks have a set of genre rules and expectations all their own, just like big, dumb action pictures for men. That said, this romantic comedy ' the first to star suspense-thriller queen Ashley Judd (DOUBLE JEOPARDY, EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, KISS THE GIRLS) ' feels like a chick-flick parody. Jane Goodale (Judd) books talent for the talk show Diane Roberts Live, where Jane and her bad-boy, womanizing co-worker Eddie Alden (Super-Hottie Hugh Jackman) trade the kind of barbs that signal they're meant for each other. In the meantime, Jane and handsome, sensitive executive producer Ray Brown (Greg Kinnear), fall in love; he's like the perfect designer boyfriend to take to quaint bed-and-breakfasts. But after making plans to move in together, the romantically spineless Ray reunites with his longtime former girlfriend. Jane, now scrambling for a place to live, finds herself rooming with Eddie. Nature takes its course, but not before Jane becomes a pseudonymous celebrity as reclusive relationship expert Dr. Marie Charles. Like the startlingly unoriginal Laura Zigman novel Animal Husbandry on which it was based, this sexist, plot-hole-riddled movie equates women with cows and men with bulls, and parades cardboard stereotypes of "wimps" vs. "real men" ' which in this case means vulgar, strutting tough guys who sleep around, drink a lot and smoke in no-smoking areas. (You almost think the tobacco industry might have financed this film, since almost everybody's a chain smoker ' even meat workers amid fresh carcasses.) Jane's supposed to be a smart, modern professional woman, but her self-esteem is so tied up in pleasing men that in one appalling scene, after seeing hunky Eddie shirtless, she entertains him by performing a cheerleading routine in her panties. Ashley's mom, singer Naomi Judd, cameos as a makeup person.

Summary: The Best Romantic Comedy In Recent Memory
Review: This is honestly the best romantic comedy I've ever seem, at least in recent memory.When people say this movie is predictable, I want them to ask themselves this, is there a romantic comedy, where you have absolutely no idea how things will turn out?I think that answer would be no, and while here you do have the basic idea on how things will turn out, that's basically it. Many romantic comedies these days are so shallow and predictable, that you can just tell what each character is going to say.Ok, so lets get to the point.The movie starts out with a talent scout for an aspiring national network, tabloid television show,Her name is Jane Goodale,(played by Ashely Judd).Within 10 minutes of the movie, she meets coworker Ray Brown (Greg Kinnear), and right away sparks are flying between the two.After a few dates the two start dating, and are on the verge of moving in together.But after Ray breaks up with his girlfriend(whom he was cheating on with Jane), things start to change.The romance is definately wearing off, and Ray seems to be avoiding Jane.Then Ray breaks the big news,he "can't do this".Of course Jane is left completely crushed, and also without a place to live(her apartement has been re-rented, and she and Ray are obviously not moving together).Which brings us to the third of the main chracters, Eddie(played by Hugh Jackman).Eddie is another one of Jane's co-workers, and he is your typical womanizer.Well, as it turns out, Eddie is in search of a roomate, and Jane jumps at the chance,mainly to make Ray jealous, and also because she doesn't have a place to live.The relationship with Eddie starts out with them constantly bickering, and complaining about one another's behavior.But, slowly, the two start to unravel, and a more understanding relationship develops between them .Meanwhile,Jane, still broken-hearted from her sudden breakup with Ray, is obssessed.There seems to be no way to put her mind at rest, because Jane needs a reason, on why she was so suddently dumped by the man of her dreams.And then she discovers what she feels explains everything-"The Cow Theory".In this theory, it is explained the men leave their women because the newness simply wears off, and the men want "new cow".Jane becomes obssessed with this theory, because it seems to give her a reason as to why the relationship of herdreams so suddently ended.A little more into the movie,Jane's best friend(played by Marisa Tomei), who works for a magazine, gives Jane an idea.To publish a story on this "cow theory", under a pseudonym.Well, Jane chooses to be the a 72 year old Phd, Marie Charles.What Jane doesn't expect is how the story just suddently blows up into a national phenomenon.Before she knows, "Marie Charles" is to appear on Jane's television show.This leads to a discovery, and a newfound happiness.
I won't spoil the ending for you.The performances are just awesome.As far as I'm concerned, Ashely is the next big thing.Forget the overrated Julia Roberts.Ashely is hilarious, but when needed, her emotion is raw and real.Hugh Jackman wittily handles his role.And Greg is perfect as Ray, the seemingly inocent,perfect guy.To anyone who likes good comedy, or just good movies, then I recommend you see this movie.It's really a hilarious,charming,just excellent comedy.
