Summary: A chick flick guys can love!
Review: This is a very sweet romantic comedy starring Ashley Judd, who does a beautiful job portraying the young innocent woman looking for love. Hugh Jackman is becoming my favorite actors in Hollywood because he plays the role of the macho male perfectly. Judd and Jackman have such great chemistry together! Even the medeoker Greg Kinnear can't ruin this film. This is movie has a very nice ending that has any hopeless romantic giving out a big ahhhhhhhh!:)

Summary: Great Movie !!
Review: The film's fresh, funny dialogue packs enough power to keep things interesting. Ashley Judd plays a working woman (Jane Goodall) who falls for a co-worker Ray (Greg Kinnear). The story has been told before...he has a girlfriend and they're having problems. Jane and Ray date and decide to move in together but he starts to push her away and breaks her heart and gets back with his ex. After the devastating end to their relationship Jane begins to develop a thesis that male behavior is directly related to that of wildlife. She studies the tendency for animals to be noncommittal and compares men to bulls, dogs, and other creatures. To prove her theories, she enlists the help of her roommate Eddie (Hugh Jackman),a womanizer who falls into all of the patterns of her research, whom she moves in with after Ray and her breakup. Though the theories she comes up seem to make sense she finds there are real men out there who don't go for the "new cows" and that as Jackman says "Rays not the only man your ever going to love".

Summary: Hugh Jackman is scrumptous!!! ;)
Review: I actually bought this movie having never seen it. I saw Greg Kinnear on the box and read the blurb on the back and decided it was cheaper to buy it than to rent it. I absolutely fell in love with Hugh Jackman. Ashley Judd is always adorable in romantic comedies. Greg Kinnear is never bad in his roles,(but he sometimes picks horrid roles). The premise is cute and as romantic comedies go it wasn't horrible but it was rather predictable. What made me give it 4 stars is the fact that Hugh Jackman was absolutely delightful as the bad boy casanova. What took Hollywood so long to find him?

Summary: Decent film, despite Greg Kinear being in it.
Review: Ashley Judd plays a disgruntled woman, scorned by love (Greg Kinear), who has a theory of why men treat women the way they sometimes do. She spends the better portion of the film proving her theory correct while being forced to live with a co-worker with an active sex life (Hugh Jackman).
Overall the story is entertaining, although somewhat predictable, and the supporting cast does a good job.

Summary: A movie to watch if you just broke up with someone!
Review: "Someone like you" is a beautiful film with awesome scenery and breathtaking shots. I like the average look of the film and I look for those type of sceneries in romantic films. Of course, the story is important and unfortunately, that is where the problem is. I guess I was enjoying the film but the ending...well... Let's just say that director Tony Goldwyn, said it best during his commentary in the alternative ending sequence. Three different endings, not enough time to do the endings and the difficulties of trying to end the movie in a good note. For me, the endings were fast and swift as romantic movies were back in the 50's and 60's but in this day and age, you expect the movie to really make you smile and feel good. This one left me feeling.... well, that the ending was ok. Each character did a good job and Judd's acting seems to improve with each film. But sometimes I felt the acting from Judd, Tomei and even Jackman was not in par as they have been in other movies. But what I did enjoy is director Tony Goldwyn (yes, the main baddie of "Ghost") talk about the movie. It would appear that there were things working against them and I really enjoyed his comments especially the commentary on the deleted scenes and alternative ending. The kind of information that striving director's want to hear about during these commentaries. All in all, "Someone like You" was more like "Something pretty average".

Summary: A lot of hype for a disappointing flick
Review: When I slipped "Someone Like You" into the machine, I admit I didn't have an open mind. I was predisposed to like the film for several reasons: mainly Hugh Jackman, the hunky Aussie who grabbed American filmgoers' attention as Wolverine in "X-Men." I'm also a longtime fan of Greg Kinnear -- hey, I remember him as the original host of "Talk Soup" -- and liked the Laura Zigman novel "Animal Husbandry," the basis for this film. So my disappointment at the failure of this film is great indeed. I can't lay the blame at the feet of any of the actors -- Jackman, Kinnear, Ashley Judd and Marisa Tomei gave it their best shots. But good actors can only do so much with a scattered script that provides little explanation for the action, not to mention jerky editing that leaves plot lines dangling. Had I not read Zigman's work, I wouldn't have had the slightest idea what was going on. Those not inclined to visit the library or buy the book here will likely have trouble comprehending the storyline -- co-workers Kinnear and Judd begin a whirlwind romance that ends just before they move in together, which forces the apartment-less Judd to then become co-worker Jackman's roommate, with whom she forms a prickly friendship while using animal behavior (specifically that of cows and bulls) to explain Kinnear's stupidity. What was charming in novel form becomes tiresome onscreen, and the film didn't provide enough glimpses of the magnificent Jackman, who is arguably one of the most attractive actors working today, to maintain my interest. I reluctantly rate "Someone Like You" a C-minus.

Summary: Good actors, awful script
Review: I was warned that this was a bad movie but rented it anyway, figuring that a movie with Ashley Judd, Hugh Jackman, Greg Kinear, and Marisa Tomei could not be all bad. I was wrong, wrong, wrong! The story is disjointed and pointless; the characters were terribly underdeveloped and shallow. None of them were really very likeable, especially the men. I realize that the movie was from the book "Animal Husbandry" but the cow and bull stuff just did not work. The whole movie was just plain excruciating. What also did not work was the love triangle, perhaps because both men were slimy weasels. Who would want either of them, cute though they are? There are many better romantic comedies out there......unfortunately I cannot put this movie into that category.

Summary: Widescreen - Why?
Review: The movie deserves 5 stars, but the DVD gets only three because of an improper use of editing for "widescreen". Without being TOO chauvanistic, they cut Marisa Tomei's and Ashley Judd's legs off in most shots. I noticed this right off because, well...I'm a guy. Now, I'm sure the director meant for them to BE in the shot,or he wouldn't have had them in the "fullscreen" edition. This is my complaint, not only on THIS movie, but many other examples to be found in many other cheaply edited movies. Why do they take a movie with a geat cast, great script, and then issue a "widescreen" edition in which all they actually did was to chop off part of the top and bottom of the original film, and add black bars to make it LOOK like a "widescreen" edition? Either edit the "widescreen" so that it actually contains the ENTIRE movie as shot, in it's original aspect, or give us a choice of "widescreen" or "fullscreen". This is a particularly bad example of this type of sloppy work. If you want to see the ENTIRE movie, as filmed, watch it on cable, or get the VHS edition.
