Someone Like You: Critic Reviews

Elizabeth Chandler's script has, by my count, exactly one sort-of-funny line and not a single scene whose comic possibilities are successfully exploited.

A little lifeless.

Uncommonly flat and uninteresting.

Refreshingly funny.

The smartest cinematic take on he/she in memory.

Bland, predictable, sitcom-esque.

Smart, amiable and well-paced.

So-so romantic comedy for teens.

While Judd and Kinnear are both quite good, it's Jackman that completely steals the show.

Desde o inicio da historia fica obvio, para o espectador, quem sao as duas pessoas que dividirao o inevitavel beijo final - e nao ha surpresa alguma neste aspecto. Infelizmente, o roteiro nao se preocupa em explicar porque isso acontece.

'Nothing that you haven't wept or winced through during primetime TV but saved from the truly awful thanks to the performances of Judd and Jackman.'

Movies like this soar or sink on the strength of their central couple, and the intoxicating combination of Judd and Jackman makes "Someone" well worth watching.

Visualmente no tiene mucho que ofrecernos y si vamos con la esperanza de ver una realizacion excelente, olvidenlo.

Hollywood needs to realize that it's not the '40s anymore; women don't need a man to be happy.

...a pathetic mess...

It's about the most predictable -- and least original -- film you'll see for weeks.

It is a well-directed, polished romantic comedy with top-notch acting talent.

That Jane will see the flaws of her theory is a given, but it's an intriguing, if uneven, journey of discovery.

Someone Like You is as bland as its title.

Strong familiarity does not breed contempt, and that's all due to two pairs of words: Ashley Judd, Hugh Jackman.

It's tough to craft a romantic comedy that's authentic, romantic, funny, and sad all at the same time, but director Tony Goldwyn ... and screenwriter Elizabeth Chandler do a lovely job of it.

Someone Like You is made of plastic emotions--they're so meaningless they practially come with their own disposable Styrofoam wrapping.

More of romantic comedy's same old same old.

The only question is how much fun it is on the way to the happy ending, and the answer is: mildly.

Judd and Jackman have a nice chemistry that's rewarding, even if the material they're working with isn't exactly new
