SOMEONE LIKE YOU..., in my opinion, is a sweet, heartwarming, and charming romantic comedy. When Jane (Ashley Judd) got dumped by Ray (Greg Kinnear), I felt really sorry for her. This was because I could relate to how she was feeling. However, when she began to fall for Eddie (Hugh Jackman) and pick up the pieces of her heart, I felt really warm and tingly inside. If you ask me, this movie had terrific performances, excellent direction, perfect casting, and nice scenery, especially for a movie set in New York. Now in conclusion, if you are a fan of Ashley Judd, Greg Kinnear, or Hugh Jackman, you should definitely see this movie. Prepare for lots of laughs and romance when you see it.

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!

Someone Like You or Animal Attraction as it's called over here in the UK, is a charming romantic comedy starring Ashley Judd who plays Jane Goodale, a woman who is quite unlucky in love until she meets Ray Brown played by Greg Kinnear who sweeps her off her feet, but when he breaks up with her, she's down in the dumps again. Little does she know her new room-mate womaniser Eddie Alden played by the cute Hugh Jackman is the man she will getting together with. Marisa Tomei also does a good job as Jane's best friend Liz. Yes, the film is quite predictable and you can guess what's going to happen at the end straight away but if you like romantic comedys then you'll love this film, which I give an 8/10.
