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.

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.

Girl meets boy, boy dumps girl, girl meets other boy, other boy and girl are platonic, other boy and girl fall in love. Sterling cast and a proved plot line (if done well). Unfortunately, this movie was not done well. This movie was dull, dull, dull. There was no spark in the dialogue or spark from the stars. There is a marvelous cast, but they were all, everyone one of them, dead on arrival, phoning in their performance, absent without leave. You get my drift. Granted, the dialogue was bad, but it was worse than just bad dialogue. We've all seen good actors deliver bad lines like they were golden. I blame the director. Yeah, that's it. He did it. Then, to add to the wasted time, when I went to rate the movie, I had already seen it, but I had no recollection of it at all. That's when you know the movie is a void

The only character of any interest in this film is Eddie. Jane is unsympathetic and self-absorbed and Ray is simply boring. There is no chemistry between the two and you never really understand why they got together in the first place.Without Hugh Jackman's interpretation of Eddie, this film would have absolutely nothing to recommend it, however he manages to take an ostensibly two-dimensional character and lift it up to something real enough to create a connection between the character and the audience that makes you keep watching simply because you want to know more about him. He conveys depth more by his expression than the dialog, although he is also blessed with the best one-liners in the film, which he makes the most of with his dead-pan delivery.Unfortunaly, he is simply not on screen enough to redeem the rest of the film and you are left with the somewhat perplexing question of what he saw in Jane.
