Python Hyena 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

Jim Kobayashi I usually put high score on the films, so 6 is pretty low score, and I'm telling you this film deserves it.If you pick each actor/actress's works, they are just fine, they did good works. but IMHO somehow they are miscasted. Especially "the combination of the casts" is terrible in this film. For example, Keanu Reeves is a terrible actor alive on the planet, but in the film "Sweet Nobember" Keanu Reeves and Charlie Theron made a miracle, they are so good together and the combination of these two are great, so I liked that film. But in this film "Someone Like You" I didn't feel something special between Ashley Judd and Greg Kinnear or Ashley Judd and Hugh Jackman. It seems to me they just did their job, so even if every single of them did a good job, a whole movie is fail.Also it seems to me the movie is all about girl's feeling. How horrible men treat the girls, and ending of the movie is little too cheesy.But Don't Get Me Wrong. This movie is not terrible at all, some people might even love it. This is just not my thing.

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.

shanyny_88 Being a hopeless romantic myself I usually go for the ideal romantic comedy (boy meets girl, they fall in love, something happens, they break up, they get back together, they live happily ever after). And even though Someone like you doesn't exactly stick to those guidelines I did enjoy the movie to an extent I was actually surprised of.I found the whole cow theory hysterical and loved Ashley Judd's performance. Hugh Jackman is both sexy and sweet in his role of womanizer/friend.In the end it's a funny movie, with realistic notes.OK, so there are parts in the movie that are predictable! But hey... most romantic comedies ARE predictable and come on now be truthful, that's a reason why we watch them!
