Pros: Ashley Judd isn't too bad in this. The asides and opening sequence is hysterical. Cons: Well, it's your stereotypical Hollywood romance.
When a co-worker recommended this one to me, I thought, "Oh no, another sappy, silly romance to wade through. But facing a dearth of decent television of late, I popped this one onto the stack to be checked out and watched it tonight. Boy, was I...
I have to say that most of Ashley Judd's work has always surprised me. For whatever reason, I tend to not expect much from her and I'm usually delightfully surprised. In Someone Like You I think her talent is probably one of the few ...
Pros: Good cast with good chemistry. Cons: The writing could have been better.
This is movie two of my three movie rentals at the local video store this weekend. I decided with it being a rainy weekend I should do something that I very rarely do and that is rent movies and actually take the time to watch them. I hadn’t read or...
Pros: Casting, humor Cons: Read the "My Analysis" section if you really want to know
Welcome to the 22d review of Someone Like You. I shy away from reviewing just released movies because there’s usually a glut of reviews that say everything possible to say about the movie in question, and a few that say it better than I...
Pros: Great Cast, so many cute people (Ashley Judd, Greg Kinnear, and Marisa Tomei) Cons: This all has been done before
I was bored, husband was working nights, I'm stuck in a hotel room, suddenly I remembered that we had a pay-per-view service here. I noted that the price was $9.95 per film. OUCH! (so I did not see this movie at the theater, but its not on video so I...
Pros: Amiable characters, neurotic humor, eye candy Cons: formula has been over-used, casting wasn't ideal
Although I don't recommend this movie, I have to tell you that it's not a bad movie. In fact it's probably a fine movie for a rainy Sunday afternoon when you don't need a nap, have no phone calls or reading to catch up on, and your kids or partner or...
Pros: Good Romance, Good Actors Cons: Unresponsible Plot, "Free" sex
Can we say sexually transmitted diseases?! I could have really enjoyed this movie if the guy she didn't end up with hadn't jumped in bed with at least a dozen girls just in the time frame the movie took place in. According to both of them, it had been...
Pros: Judd and Stiles are fresh faces in these genres. Cons: WHY?
By the time I was a grade-schooler, "wicked" had become a synonym for "cool," "awesome," that sort of thing. The new straight-to-video release Wicked could warp the meaning of the word again; if the film is popular with kids, which is not out of...
Pros: Funny with some touching and thought provoking moments Cons: Perhaps not romantic enough for the "Hopeless" romantic
This odd little romantic comedy begins by introducing the main characters. Our heroine, Jane Goodall (Ashley Judd), books guests at an up and coming talk show. Eddie (Hugh Jackman), a cynical and ruthlessly honest co-worker, insists that his seemingly...
Pros: New twist on an old plot Cons: dragged is some spots
It is so refreshing to see a romantic comedy that does not fall into the typical pit of mediocrity usually associated with the genre. Do not misunderstand me, this film does follow the typical plot of boy meets girl, but pulls itself away with enough...
Pros: The combustible pairing of Ashley Judd and Hugh Jackman. Cons: Completely formulaic fluff down the line.
There isn’t a single moment of originality or believability in SOMEONE LIKE YOU. If you’ve seen any romantic comedy to come from Hollywood in the past ten years, chances are at least one contrived thing in Tony Goldwyn’s entry into the genre will ring...
Pros: shows why a strike in Hollywood wouldn't be so bad Cons: a painful new low in "romantic" comedy
How did Ashley Judd wind up providing one of the most painful performances since Melanie Griffith in "Working Girl?" Although never compared with Meryl Streep or even Geena Davis, Judd has proven adequate in popcorn fare like "Double Jeopardy." And it's...
Pros: Charming and sweet, carried by Judd's performance and some intelligent insights Cons: Doesn't really surprise or shock in its journey or destination
The cinematic versions of the 90’s love story reflect society’s propensity for over analysis of gender roles during the search to define gender roles. Someone To Love takes the opposite side of last years The Tao of Steve, in exploring one woman’s...
Pros: Moments of humor, Adequate Social Commentary Cons: Stiff acting, Neither End is Terribly Convincing, Utter Lack of Conviction, Inconsistent Characterization
Sigh. Whenever I'm tempted to begin a review with a sigh, I know it's going to be one of those rare occasions where I am actually stretching to come up with one hundred words to dignify a work. "Someone Like You" is one such instance. Sigh. Where...
Pros: Hugh Jackman and Greg Kinnear. Cons: Reduces women to knee-jerk, irrational creatures of emotion; Ashley Judd.
When a movie depicts not having someone to kiss on New Year’s Eve as one of life’s greatest tragedies, that, my friends, is a chick flick alert. Someone Like You has one such scene and it is indeed one such film. But if the clichés weren’t bad...
A producer of daytime talk show is unexpectedly spited by her lover and begins an extensive study of men to prevent this from happening again. Her fin...More at HotMovieSale.com
