Jane Goodale has everything going for her. She's a producer on a popular daytime talk show, and is in a hot romance with the show's dashing executive producer Ray. But when the relationship goes terribly awry, Jane begins an extensive study of the male animal, including her womanizing roommate Eddie. Jane puts her studies and romantic misadventure to use as a pseudonymous sex columnist -- and becomes a sensation.

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
gingerlead-1 I loved the movie overall though her theory was based on little knowledge about the 'old cow'. Cattle only mate about once a year for one and once the cow has conceived her calf the bull shows no more interest because he can smell she is no longer receptive to him due to the baby calf inside her, just like dogs and many other animals. It was a touching movie other wise for the most part but puzzling about his departure at the last and when she caught up and kissed, gnawing on each others upper and lower lip it was extremely insensitive and did not reflect true love with a true kiss. It would have been better if they had simply gazed into each others eyes, hugged and walked away holding each other snugly instead of the insulting fake kisses. It was apparent he loved her from the beginning and conveyed that message well it's just that the last scene was truly disappointing to me.
Alyssa Black (Aly200) 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.
Jim Kobayashi I usually put high score on the films, so 6 is pretty low score, and I'm telling you this film deserves it.If you pick each actor/actress's works, they are just fine, they did good works. but IMHO somehow they are miscasted. Especially "the combination of the casts" is terrible in this film. For example, Keanu Reeves is a terrible actor alive on the planet, but in the film "Sweet Nobember" Keanu Reeves and Charlie Theron made a miracle, they are so good together and the combination of these two are great, so I liked that film. But in this film "Someone Like You" I didn't feel something special between Ashley Judd and Greg Kinnear or Ashley Judd and Hugh Jackman. It seems to me they just did their job, so even if every single of them did a good job, a whole movie is fail.Also it seems to me the movie is all about girl's feeling. How horrible men treat the girls, and ending of the movie is little too cheesy.But Don't Get Me Wrong. This movie is not terrible at all, some people might even love it. This is just not my thing.
shanyny_88 Being a hopeless romantic myself I usually go for the ideal romantic comedy (boy meets girl, they fall in love, something happens, they break up, they get back together, they live happily ever after). And even though Someone like you doesn't exactly stick to those guidelines I did enjoy the movie to an extent I was actually surprised of.I found the whole cow theory hysterical and loved Ashley Judd's performance. Hugh Jackman is both sexy and sweet in his role of womanizer/friend.In the end it's a funny movie, with realistic notes.OK, so there are parts in the movie that are predictable! But hey... most romantic comedies ARE predictable and come on now be truthful, that's a reason why we watch them!
