Product: Someone Like You [VHS] (2001)
Rating: 3.0
A bit banal yet fun to watch
This movie has lots of ups and downs, high and low moments. The beginning is with the very original cow theory showing real cows and scientists and in a way promising us that this is not going to be just another regular love story. Then the film moves on to a very banal story, where the "villain" is marked from moment one. Somewhere along this line you get hooked until the once again banal (and too dramatized) ending.All in all fun and entertaining to watch but not one of the best romantic comedies. Ashley Judd as the dumped lady is lovely and is a good excuse to watch this film. I liked this actress since watching her in "where the heart is", but I have to say she does not really look miserable, or maybe I wish I looked like her when I was miserable (actually, I would not mind looking like that when I am happy either). Other then that I could not stand Gregg Kinnear as the love object, he seemed too pathetic to win anybody's heart. I liked him a whole lot better as the neighbor in "As good as it gets" - in that movie his pathetic expressions seemed to fit the role. Marisa Tomei is lovely as the best friend role.During the viewing I wondered how such a hectic and demanding work at a television network seems to take up so few hours of the hero's daytime. I wonder.
