In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Blistering performances.

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.

I am not a big fan of romantic comedies, and I really didn't have much of a choice when I watched this film - it was the only one the airliner was showing at that time when I was 30,000 feet up in the air. A story about a daytime talk show hostess who writes a sexiest column about men's behavior after being jilted by her boyfriend and gaining fame in the process, I thought this was an OK movie to pass the time.This movie has its moments from time to time - light comedy, romantic twists and drama. I thought Ashley Judd and Hugh Jackson had pretty good chemistry in their respectable roles, but I thought Greg Kinnear gave a very wooden and emotionless performance in his role. The plot did drag at times, but not to the point where it would put you to sleep.This movie isn't a masterpiece and not something I would watch over and over again. But, if it happens to be a movie I would come across while channel surfing, I might stop and watch just for kicks.Grade C

Tony Goldwyn's 'Someone Like you' is a typical romantic comedy set in New York. What I liked about it is the unusual casting (that includes Ashley Judd, Hugh Jackman, Greg Kinnear, Marisa Tomei and Ellen Barkin) and also the message behind it: that not all guys are jerks :). Goldwyn uses the same ingredients that have made romantic comedies successful in the past. The setting is pretty much the same as any other New York rom com. Ashley Judd carries off the lead role very well. Hugh Jackman too does a fine job. Greg Kinnear does an equally convincing job and Marisa Tomei is very likable as Jane's best friend. The jokes work well even though some of them feel a little deja vu. Also, I would have liked to see a development in the romantic relationship between Eddie and Jane. Yet, it was fun to watch a romantic comedy with a fresh cast.

Being a hopeless romantic myself I usually go for the ideal romantic comedy (boy meets girl, they fall in love, something happens, they break up, they get back together, they live happily ever after). And even though Someone like you doesn't exactly stick to those guidelines I did enjoy the movie to an extent I was actually surprised of.I found the whole cow theory hysterical and loved Ashley Judd's performance. Hugh Jackman is both sexy and sweet in his role of womanizer/friend.In the end it's a funny movie, with realistic notes.OK, so there are parts in the movie that are predictable! But hey... most romantic comedies ARE predictable and come on now be truthful, that's a reason why we watch them!
