Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

lisafordeay Hugh Jackman starred in 2 romantic comedies in 2001. One where he played Leopold, Duke of Albany in Kate & Leopold and the other is this film Someone Like You where he plays a womanizer called Eddie.The film is about a woman called Jane (played by Ashley Judd) who is in love with a guy called Ray (played by The Last Song's Greg Kinnear)and thinks that her life is perfect with him. She even tried to buy an apartment so that they can be together. But out of the blue and Ray gets cold feet and dumps Jane for no reason at all at a restaurant and she is heartbroken. So she decides to get even and invent on a guru called Dr Marie Charles and sets out a theory on men behaving like animals especially cows(don't ask). She asks her womanizing friend Eddie(Hugh Jackman) could she be his new roommate as he is looking for someone to live with him and he accepts. So with Jane's plot to sell her story to the world on her theory with cows will she ever admit that it was her all along,and will romance blossom between her and Eddie? And is Ray(her ex boyfriend's reason to dump Jane in the first place was because of his crush on Diane(played by Ellen Barkin).Directed by Tony Goldwyn(who is the voice of Tarzan in the 1999 animated film Tarzan and star of Ghost with the late Patrick Swayze),I watched this film today all because of Hugh Jackman. He can turn his hand at anything, romance,drama,comedy,musicals etc. So it was nice to see him act all charismatic in this movie where he is a hit with the women. But to be honest I thought the best romance movie he did was Kate & Leopold because lets face it he was just dreamy in it and hilarious at the same time.Someone Like You reminded me of 27 Dresses in away minus the bridesmaids dresses. Bottom line I thought it wasn't that bad I enjoyed it for what it was as I love romantic comedies anyway and its nice to see this movie on a lazy Sunday afternoon.5/10Alternative Title: Animal Husbandry/Animal Attraction

purkntri This was a pretty decent movie. I agree with Alan Yim that Hugh Jackman's character was underutilized. There is a little too much repetition of the cow lines as well. We understand what she means, they don't need to constantly hit us with it. It is still worth watching, but if you wanted a little more of the why me, oh yeah that's why I would see Her Minor Thing, that got it a little better. Granted that is a little different in that the girl breaks it off and the guy is the one that really wants her back but the girl didn't intend to completely end it.. but there are a lot of similarities. And they show the "other" guy more often, he almost gets more time than the original guy.

roses_are_red14 Wow, this movie is utter rubbish. I gave it two stars and they both belong to the charming Hugh Jackman, with not a bit left over for anybody else. The directing was lame and the writing was lamer. There was no chemistry whatsoever between the characters and I spent the whole film hoping that Jackman would come back on screen just so that there could at least be a little chemistry between him and the audience. The shots of Jackman in his underwear were fantastic, but not really worth sitting through the rest of the film for. I spent the majority of this film cringing at the appalling dialogue. For a romantic comedy, it was incredibly lacking in romance and incredibly lacking in comedy. Judd's character Jane was so unlikeable that it was a massive disappointment to see her end up with a great guy like Eddie. If you're into Jackman, by all means get the DVD and screen capture the topless shots and gorgeous smiles for a delicious desktop background, but for goodness sake fast forward to find them because the film isn't worth your time.

caa821 I saw this film for the first time this evening, and kept waiting for the enjoyment to commence. Unfortunately it didn't. I agree with those among the many comments here who were disappointed in this flick.I like Judd, Jackman, Kinnear and Barkin -- and have enjoyed all of them in other efforts. Seeing them listed in the same cast (having missed this picture completely when it was issued originally) I expected a pleasurable couple of hours.I liked very little about it. I didn't enjoy the characters or performances. I didn't enjoy the stories. The cost was listed in another source I checked as $23,000,000. In this instance, with this group, this was a waste of money almost criminal.
