Summary: Funny and charming
Review: This was a terrific movie showing us a side of every woman who has had her heart broken and with the message of always knowing that there is someone out there and we're not looking hard enough. Jane thinks she has finally found the man of her dreams in Ray. They meet where they both work behind the scenes of a talkshow. After seeing her best friend Eddie having more women in his life than he can handle she finds that Ray is perfect except with the small glitch, he has a girlfriend! After he asks her to move in with him Jane is on top of the world since Ray now has broken up with her girlfriend, but surprisingly he starts vanishing from her life and then one day just ends it. Broken hearted Jane has no where to turn and no where to live anymore so Eddie asks her to move in with him since he has a spare room, but when Ray wants her back she doesn't know what to do since she has started to hate men and compares them to her new theory. Excellent movie.

Summary: Hugh & Ashley can be funny - but not here.
Review: Books are books, movies are movies...never the twain shall...well you get the idea.
Hugh jackman can be a very funny sexy guy and ashley Judd is a great comedian, but this is not the best of scripts.

Summary: Someone Like You--Not as Good As I'd Hoped
Review: I bought this mainly because I'm a Hugh Jackman fan. Frankly, I was a bit disappointed. The movie is terribly "chick-flick" orientated, and the plot revolves around the insecurities of women who make foolish decisions (like sleeping with their egotistical bosses and convincing themselves it's true love). Ironically, Jackman plays the outright egotistical "player" and eventually ends up being the hero. I have to admit that whomever it was that came up with the "old cow" part of the plot had a zany sense of humor! It fits in with the insecurities of the lead character wonderfully! And, there were a few nice scenes of Jackman (New Year's Eve party, insomnia scene, and of course, the end). Would have been better had Jackman's character been more developed, in my opinion.

Summary: "Someone Like You"; Romantic Comedy Whose Title Tells All
Review: "Someone Like You" means Ashley Judd, no matter how its script implies. Her charming smile accompanied with skillful acting is the best thing you can find in this movie. Fans, enjoy it.Still, "Someone Like You" is a little disappointing. The movie makes you feel good, certainly, and supporting cast is good (though Greg Kinnear seems typecast after "Nurse Betty," "Sabrina," and others) and the beautiful location shots of New York City is impressive. However, we have seen a film with a better script this year (2001) and because of this fact, one star drops. And the film is, of course, "Bridget Jones's Diary." Both movies goes on the similar course during their running time. Two guys and a working woman; she loves one guy, but comes to know that he doesn't love her; then she finds another love, and during the course she struggles hard to make her career.... The critics' lukewarm reception of "Someone Like You" is fairly understandable, if slightly unfair. Even without this comparison, the flaw (probably the only flaw I can find) of "Someone Like You" is clear; it gives nothing new. And if you start to think about "Dairy," you might all the more miss the witty script of the latter movie. Having said that, "Someone Like You" is a likable and funny film that promises you to have a good time. Judd's strangely convincing "Bull-Cow Theory" is funny, and for me the best part of the story is the conclusion of the film -- humans are NOT bulls nor cows. Some people theorize on human relationships in a bleak way, but "Someone Like You" assures that we are all humans, not animals. (British title of the film happens to be "Animal Attraction." Oh....) Besides ever-wonderful Judd, Hugh Jackman displays his deft performance for romantic comedy, and you can try to spot Ashley's real-life mother. And the most unexpected joy is to watch (though briefly) Judd plays a cheerleader in an unusual situation. Enjoy the film.

Summary: Two words... Hugh Jackman
Review: I loved this film. Tony Goldwyn (yes, he's related) directs Ashley to a wonderful level in this film. Greg Kinnear is smarmy and good at it (who knew.. he's always the nice guy.. no longer). Ellen Barkin is ever beautiful and scene stealing. But, like I said up top... Hugh Jackman. This man is going to be a huge star. He has done a few films, and he will do many more. He was the reason I bought this film, and he did not disappoint. :)

Summary: I love this movie
Review: I absolutely love this movie, because it emcompasses everything that dating when in your mid-to-late 20s involves. I especially like it because I love Ashley Judd and I think that she has a great deal of talent.
I highly recommend this movie to any female. I have rented it 3 times already.

Summary: No chemistry between Jackman & Judd... Judd doing Meg Ryan!
Review: I enjoyed the movie, but it just didn't "click". Jackman and Judd had nothing going then suddenly they were madly in love. I thought maybe Greg Kinnear & Hugh Jackman should have switched roles. And there should have been more story-building between the two romantic leads. It just wasn't believable. The kiss between Judd & Jackman was so boring I wanted to snore. Judd and Kinnear had real chemistry. And Judd's comedic acting seemed like the director was telling her "act like Meg Ryan".

Summary: So THIS is why I hate most romantic comedies....
Review: In the universe of bad movies, why write a review about this one? So it's not "Citizen Kane"... It's intended to be fluff, can't you just enjoy it for what it is?... Please hear me out. This is exactly why the modern romantic comedy has become so stale, so dishonest in emotional character, and so not worth watching any more. Let's all be honest here. The dialogue is lousy, the chemistry between Judd and Jackman non-existant, and the ending is implausible not because it's "against the odds" but because there was no development of the relationship that would leave you to believe that these people actually cared about one another. It's just not fun. Ashley Judd, who's done some good work in the past (no really, see "Ruby in Paradise"), and who has a really cute, likeable screen presence can't really need the money that badly. Really, just do yourself a favor and don't buy this movie - it'll only encourage the studios to bang out trite, by-the-numbers, poorly directed, sleep-walk acting filled movies like this. Break the cycle! Demand better for your hard-earned dollars and maybe the studios will put a little more thought, honesty, and fun into the modern romantic comedy. More reason to put your hard-earned money towards Woody Allen's "Annie Hall" or "Manhattan", or George Cukor's classic "Adam's Rib", or even Cameron Crowe's "Say Anything" C'mon, you deserve better than this clunker.

Summary: I had to watch it twice...
Review: I really had to watch it a second time to get the humor and understand what was going on. The first time around I found nothing funny. The second and third time around I laughed. I think it also depends on where you're at emotionally. A woman is treated wrong by a guy. She in returns labels him and trashes him and all men. While at the same time a new male roommate does the same type of thing with women he's seeing. They hurt him, he's not going to get emotionally attached to them anymore because of his previous girlfriend. In the end, they learn a lot from one and another. If the first go around it's not funny or it doesn't make sense...try a second time...you may be surprised!!

Summary: Excellent,
Review: When I first started watching this movie I was not impressed. In the beginning it seemed sort of slow, just another typical romantic comedy. However, it got much better and I had to watch again. I'm usually not a fan of Ashley Judd, but this would have to be one of her best movies.
