Attraction animale

I absolutley love this movie, i thought it was one of the best romantic comedies i had seen in a while, it was smart, yet interesting. I love Hugh Jackman, i did even before i saw this movie, and i was soo excited to see it, and when i did, i was soo happy to find a romantic comedy. THAT WAS GREAT!!!! There was alot of great oneliners, like "I bit my self shaving" HAHAHA i crack up every time i hear that part. The critics put down a great movie. Every one was great in the movie, they had their own chacter that keeps you interested. I especially Ellen Barkin's character Diane, her dialogue talking to Jane (Ashley judd) was so funny, I loved this movie. I RECOMMEND 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.

Romantic comedies are all hampered by the same thing, predictability.

We know the female lead will have her heart broken, and then through a series of madcap adventures, find out her one true love was there all along. "Someone Like You" is no different in this regard. So the only way for such a film to win us over, is with great acting from the stars, and more importantly, an entertaining and well thought out script. "Someone Like You" meets both criteria.

Ashley Judd and Hugh Jackman have great chemistry together, and give fine performances. Greg Kinnear is, well, Greg Kinnear. But the script is what brings this movie home. It passes over some of the more obvious plot points, in favor of predictable, yet satisfying outcomes.

Not a bad date for women, and us cows alike!

I went into this movie, thinking, "Great, chick flick!". But I was pleasantly surprised. Despite the fact that I just adore Ashley Judd, this is a really fun, funny, and smart movie. Judd and Jackman's scenes are truly charming, and their chemistry is undeniable--they look so great together, you almost wish it wasn't just a movie. And Jackman, who is an Aussie, gives off an amazing accent, amongst some serious thespian skill.

The movie is one of those "war between the sexes" type movies. There's a little heckling back and forth, but I think it adds to the movie's charm, and it's tasteful--no bashing or anything like that. But I think it's one of those feel good movies. It's just really fun to watch.

So, I honestly recommend it, definitely a good movie.

Ashley Judd stars in `Someone Like You', a pleasant romantic comedy that lets her stretch her acting chops. Judd's recent films, `Eye of the Beholder' and `Double Jeopardy', placed her in mortal danger and were deadly serious, to say the least. Her current project gives her a lighter air portraying a young working woman charged with the task of getting interesting guests for a morning talk show hosted by Diane (Ellen Barkin). In the film's humorous introduction, Jane (Judd) explains the Old cow/new cow theory that she applies to men and their relationships with women. Basically, The theory says that once a bull mates with a cow (old cow) subsequently he only wants another Cow (new cow). At the job she falls for Ray (Greg Kinnear). She is the new cow to him. Meanwhile, she shares an apartment with Eddie (charismatic Hugh Jackman, recently of X-Men). Complications ensue and the finale is predictable. Performances are on the mark and the settings in Manhattan are real (not faux Toronto) adding to the film's charm. In addition, the men are treated fairly, not making this a total chick flick. There is also a sparkling performance by Marisa Tomei as Jane's best friend. The costumes are also what a $40,000/yr. salary could afford, as opposed to Armani and other designer duds. As directed by Tony Goldwyn (the bad guy in `Ghost') `Someone Like You' is a delightful way to spend a couple of hours. There are no surprises, some smiles and chuckles, and you'll feel good because the characters are basically nice folks.
