Someone Else Skip This!
Someone Like You is a romantic/comedy. It starts off with Jane (played by Miss Judd) is a booking agent for a television talk show. She is having relationship problems because her boyfriend, Ray (played by Greg Kinnear) does not want to commit to the relationship. So Jane and Ray break-up. Jane then decides to move in with one of her co-workers just to get even at her ex-boyfriend. Jane's co-worker, Eddie (played by Hugh Jackman) is a self-proclaimed wommanizer; who enjoys dating women for casual sex. Both Jane and Eddie live peacefully, together in seperate rooms and each minds their own business. Eddie continues to seriel date lots of strange women throughout the movie and Jane feels lonely, depressed and bitter about her relationship break-up. She then thinks she stumbled onto a good theory about why men are dogs...er actually like bulls and cows. Yes, humans are like bovines acording to this movie's theory (bulls will mate with several different cows, but not the same one). Does this sound romantic to you? Does it sound funny? It's neither romantic nor funny. Because the characters in this movie don't have good chemistry together. They barely seem to relate to each other on friendly terms. A good portion of the movie goes to Ashley Judd who has that wacked-out theory and the rest is about her being depressed. Hugh Jackman acts like a friend towards her but isn't romantic or sexual about it. When both characters realize they love each other at the end of the movie, you'll be scratching your head wondering "WHY?" there was very little character development in this whole movie. The only redeeming value is watching two attractive and popular actors working in the same movie. This movie is as bad as JLO's and Ben Affleck's "Gigli".The DVD contains deleted scenes and an alternate ending which is not very different from the other one. There are so many other better romantic comedies out there. You should just skip this one.
