Someone Like You

Summary: good movie
Review: The cast in this movie is really cute. The director did a good job of working with the script to bring this to life on the screen. The novel version titled "Animal Husbundry" by Laura Zigman is even better.

Summary: I cannot help it, I like this movie...I'm sorry
Review: This movie has kind of grown on me. I initially did not like this movie very much because I was put off by Hugh Jackman's character, though, I like the actor a lot. Outwardly he portrays a sort of "man whore". But the more that I have seen this movie, the more that I have "gotten" the humor, the meaning, and the sincerity of Ashley Judd's performance specifically. Ashley Judd really knows how to cry! There are some classic scenes with Judd expressing her hurt and anger from her last boyfriend (Greg Kinear). These expressions include men bashing, missing his scent, getting obsessive about the way males think, and wanting just to be loved "truly" by a man. Ashley Judd really knows how to express herself well and her reactions are both priceless and precious!
The moral is good, I believe, but I do have to agree with some of the other reviewers that her relationship with Hugh Jackman is not developed as it should be. You get a sense of how it is suppose to be, but find it a bit unrealistic to "all of a sudden" figure out who she really loves. I say, "watch it" and you will be able to relate to Ashley Judd's performance because she seems so real despite her "out of the blue" moment.

Summary: Can we say - Character & Relationship Development
Review: I picked this because of Hugh and Ashley. Greg i figured would be the middle guy in this triangle. Ummmm ok next time more Hugh, less Greg and Ashley could be less shrewish. I hated seeing her like that. And how is she in love with Hugh all of a sudden? yes others have said that, glad to see I wasn't the only one thinking "hugh" where did that come from, even though we knew it would be there but come on! Even the obvious has some relationship development. And why did he get all mad at the end? Bizarre!

Summary: wasted talent on a wasted story
Review: I thought this might be worth my time given the fact that it had Jackman, Judd, Kinnear and Tomei in the cast. I was wrong.
I found the story to be lame....just too dependable...I give them all credit for holding out for the entire film given the script that they were handed. I found it irritating to have to listen constantly to Judd's ranting about men.....She was involved with a married man HELLO!!!!!.....I find it extremely irritating that someone, like her character, who apparently cannot find someone who is unattached would call every man a waste because the one who she is currently sleeping with will not, for whatever reason, get a new life with her. She needs the reality check, not her dull and duller boyfriend.
Tomei was right when she tells Judd's character that it seems to be always about her. I would second that.
It became immediately apparent to me even before Tomei made the comment.
I am pleased that Jackman apparently has moved on to other things, e.g. SWORDFISH etc. where he can do some serious acting because this one, and KATE AND LEOPOLD, do not qualify in my book.....
