Review of Someone Like You

Jane (Ashley Judd) is a television producer with a bad history in the relationship category. When she meets fellow producer, Ray (Greg Kinnear), she is determined to resist him, especially since she learns he has a girlfriend already. Nevertheless, Ray turns the charm up several notches and Jane melts. After a blissful 3 months, they are ready to move in together. But, suddenly, there are complications. Can a fellow television colleague named Eddie (Hugh Jackman) help point Jane in the direction she should follow? And, can Jane write an advice column in a men's magazine, putting down the male's inability to commit, without being discovered? This is a nice movie for those romcom fans. Judd looks beautiful (the best haircut ever) and displays fine comic abilities....why hasn't she been offered more roles like this one? Kinnear and Jackman are both to sigh over, in a big, big way. Marisa Tomei is also her usual bubbly self as Jane's best pal. The writing is sharp and witty, the costumes quite lovely, and the NYC setting always a joy. Why shouldn't someone like you just go out and find this movie tonight and pop it in the tube? You will be vastly entertained for the evening.
