I actually saw this because it was playing in a theatre near the hotel where I was staying I decided to see a film that evening. This is not the type I typically select. I was embarrassed for the cast, for the premise was truly silly. There were some clever lines, watching it wasn't a terible experience, but drama, comedy, it is not. Far too simple in premises, and Ashly Judd just doesn't make it.

There seems to be a discrepancy with the comments posted here and the healthy vote rating. I gave it a 7, since Ashley was very winning and watchable. In fact all the performances were excellent, the thing that saved the weak story line and lack of decent jokes. As for those who gave this movie a yawn, well what do you expect from a film of this genre. There was nothing exceptional about this film but it was perfectly pleasant and watchable. If it were food, it would be a nice scrambled eggs on toast, perhaps finished with a little smoked salmon(Judd).

Amazing cast. Very sorry they had to use their considerable talents for this kind of movie. It's a 1930's rom com with more sex. If thats what you want to see. Not me.

What an enjoyable movie. Ashley Judd is simply terrific. Her acting ability places her among the absolute best. She is this movie period. Marisa Tomei adds a great deal as her best friend. Ellen Barkin does a great job as the "Tough Talk Show Host" .I was surprised at how bad the critics in general disliked this movie. Wake up folks. This was an enjoyable, funny and well acted bit of fluff. Don't miss it.

I picked this to have on tv as backdrop to reading the newspaper, but the paper was soon discarded as the movie drew me in. Ashley Judd does a creditable job as Jane Goodale, treated badly by her co-worker and now ex-boyfriend Ray (Greg Kinnear). In need of a place to stay, she becomes the platonic roomate of another co-worker, the habitually womanizing Eddie (Hugh Jackman). In an attempt to better understand the relationship problems between women and men in general, and what happened to her in particular, Jane devises a theory to explain infidelity in men. The war between the sexes is always good material for a movie, and this one is amusing and entertaining. Hugh Jackman, a delightful Australian import, is gorgeous and natural in his role and the balance of the supporting cast contributes capably as well. Although the film may be considered somewhat predictable, it is definitely worth viewing.

First of all, how hot was the young Hugh? Daymm. Well anyway everything was fine and charming up until the end like, why tf did he just bails in the middle of work?! Doesn't make any sense, where the hell is he going? So dramatic rofl

Someone Like You is not a bad movie by any means. One only has to look at the rubbish which hit the silver screens last summer to see how bad things *can* be. However... its not a perfect by any means. At times, we have trouble navigating through the story. Some scenes pop up out of nowhere. You can tell this movie (like most) has been tested with audiences and the editor's been told to take out the cleaver to make it fit time. If the story was given a little room to breathe, and if some of the extraneous content was cut, Someone Like You would be a better movie. A good date film, a nice story, but somewhat weak in its execution. Once again, this is partly because of the chopping and pruning of the film.

This isn't a good movie. It is slow, with weak statements, and no real compassion. With that said, as a chick flick or date movie, it proves a decent escape. But really there is no compelling reason to spend 90 min. watching it.
