Someone Like You--Not as Good As I'd Hoped
I bought this mainly because I'm a Hugh Jackman fan. Frankly, I was a bit disappointed. The movie is terribly "chick-flick" orientated, and the plot revolves around the insecurities of women who make foolish decisions (like sleeping with their egotistical bosses and convincing themselves it's true love). Ironically, Jackman plays the outright egotistical "player" and eventually ends up being the hero. I have to admit that whomever it was that came up with the "old cow" part of the plot had a zany sense of humor! It fits in with the insecurities of the lead character wonderfully! And, there were a few nice scenes of Jackman (New Year's Eve party, insomnia scene, and of course, the end). Would have been better had Jackman's character been more developed, in my opinion.
