Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

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.

Someone Like You (2001): Dir: Tony Goldwyn / Cast: Ashley Judd, Hugh Jackman, Greg Kinnear, Marisa Tomei, Ellen Barkin: Very dull romantic comedy about individuality. Ashley Judd uses a lame cow theory to dissect her failed relationships. She users her co-worker played by Hugh Jackman to demonstrate this theory. She gets involved with Greg Kinnear who cannot commit to her even after a three year relationship. The conclusion is every bit as boring. Directed by Tony Goldwyn who previously made A Walk on the Moon and does his best with this lame material. Judd is unable to make this woman look intelligent. She comes across as the kid who always had "kick me" signs on their back and had no idea. Jackman's role consists of him getting drunk and having sex with a different woman. Perhaps that is his only benefit for doing this travesty. Kinnnear is a fine actor caught in a routine and dull role. Marisa Tomei makes what amounts to an agonizing appearance. She has done better and hopefully will so again. Even casting Ellen Barkin in this garbage cannot elevate it beyond someone more interesting than watching paint dry. Its take on relationships falters due to its pathetic juvenile delivery. Perhaps Goldwyn should check out a bunch of Woody Allen films before tackling this issue again. Foolish dog show that should be locked away and buried
by someone like you. Score: 2 / 10

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

Ladies, we know what it feels to be completely in love and then be cast aside for little or no reason and it stings. Well our heroine in "Someone Like You" set about expressing her disgust of male behavior and her anguish at being dumped in unorthodox methods. I had no clue what to think of the film when I first watched, but within five to ten minutes I was laughing so hard that I began to enjoy the story. Now I'm not a girl who likes players, but I couldn't help immediately falling in love with the character of Eddie Alden, played by Hugh Jackman, just like Ashley Judd's character did. Way too funny and being a huge fan of Hugh's acting, how can I resist.Not a fan of rom-coms either, but as previously stated the acting and the wit and humor of the script was appealing to me. Give it a shot if you're a fan of the rom-com or comedy genre or if you need a good laugh on a bad day.
