Six weeks into their... After a series of ill-fated relationships, Jane (Ashley Judd) has finally met Mr. Right, Ray (Greg Kinnear), who is emotionally available, and not afraid of commitment. Six weeks into their blissful courtship, he asks her to move in with him, and they start looking at apartments. But little by little Ray starts to pull away, until Jane realizes that once again she's been dumped. Jane's womanizing coworker, Eddie, just happens to be looking for a roommate, and Jane reluctantly moves in. Desperate to understand what happened, Jane comes up with a theory of interpreting male-female relations by observing the behaviors of wild animals. She shares this idea with a friend who works at a men's magazine (Marisa Tomei) and is given an anonymous editorial column devoted solely to her thoughts on the matter. But no one could have predicted the chord she'd strike among women with her theory, and the column's wild success makes Jane start to question her conclusions--and opens her eyes to what might be right in front of her. Adapted from the novel ANIMAL HUSBANDRY by Laura Zigman, SOMEONE LIKE YOU is a bittersweet, funny romantic comedy, and handsome, charming Hugh Jackman shines as Jane's serial-dating coworker. [More]

Reviews for Someone Like You
Worth seeing because its fresh, engaging stars inject realistic behavior into unreal situations.
While Judd and Kinnear are both quite good, it's Jackman that completely steals the show.
An enjoyable dramedy that is fairly obvious in where it is headed right from the start, but in getting there, it surprises in how moving and wise it becomes.
Until the last five minutes, this is an almost flawless romantic comedy.
A relaxed and sassy romantic comedy ripe with tart observations on sexual politics.
The two leads have a nice give-and-take, enlivened considerably by the sexual tension between Judd and Jackman.
Judd and Jackman have a nice chemistry that's rewarding, even if the material they're working with isn't exactly new
Movies like this soar or sink on the strength of their central couple, and the intoxicating combination of Judd and Jackman makes "Someone" well worth watching.
This may be a 'chick flick' or, I suppose, a 'cow flick.' But I'd like to know what 'bull' can resist that.
