Movie Reviews of Someone Like You
Movie Review: Someone Like Hugh ... and Ashley
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Movie Review: Guy's if you're in the doghouse, buy this!

The first time I saw Someone Like You I was on a business trip. Little else stuck with me on that trip, besides this movie that I recently purchased on DVD. By far one of the best romantic comedies I've seen, although the movie is predictable, how many times can you see a "romantic comedy" and not know there is a twist and happy ending? Ashely Judd, Greg Kinnear and Hugh Jackman do a wonderful job portraying their characters and highlighting issues that surround many who are in today's singles scene. The "cow theory" was an exceptionally creative twist and having always been a big fan of Marisa Tomei, what's to resist? Someone Like You is a not a side splitting comedy, but one that will leave a heartwarming smile spread across your lips. It's charming, endearing and very much a glimpse into the issues women face in today's dating world. Guys, if you want to win the girl with a nice night on the couch with a chick flick, this is one that she'll appreciate!Movie Review: ~a heart warming romantic comedy~

I thought Someone Like You was a great movie. Ashley Judd does an amazing job but even better was Hugh Jackman. He fit completely to his character and was just a big heart throb to watch! Then again, me being a HUGE Hugh jackman fan, its most likely that i will comment on him the most. Marrissa Tomei was also good but i thought the role of Ray(Greg Kinnear) could have been thought out a bit better. Greg Kinnear on screen seemed a bit more of a joke than anything. You should definetly buy this movie tho if u like romantic comedies cuz it will leave you breathless. (and if it doesn't, Hugh Jackman certainly will when you see him in it wearing nothing but tight black boxers!!!!)

Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Movie Review: fun and heartwarming
Summary: 5 Stars
The chemistry between all the characters is great to watch. Hugh Jackman is definitely easy on the eyes and Greg Kinnear plays a great "bad" guy. Ashley Judd does well as the "woman in upheaval." The real scene stealer, though, is Marisa Tomei. Given the chance, this movie could have done just as well had it been about her character. Ever since My Cousin Vinny, she's been an actress to shine. All in all, when I want to watch a feel-good movie this is what I throw in.
