Someone like you (2001)

I know, I know, it’s a chick flick. But I am a real sucker for this movie, and this is like the third time I have seen the movie.

Starring Hugh Jackman, Ashley Judd, Marisa Tomei and Greg Kinnear, this movie is funny, tongue in the cheek, romantic, and sexy. I am amazed by how good looking Jackman is, and Judd is really freaking cute in this movie too.

In the movie, Judd is dating Kinnear, but he breaks her heart. Judd moves in with Jackman strictly as a roommate, because she finds out that he is a little bit of a player. All three of the characters work together at a talk show, so that makes every situation that much more funny.

Judd ends up writing this column on the dating habits of males, which is actually pretty funny. Jackman tries to help her through a tough time, all the while she is distance and cold, evaluating him and using his life as a basis for her column advice. But in the end, it isn’t his nature that she is trying to figure out, but instead she is trying to find a way to hide from her own. She can’t figure out why she keeps finding the wrong guy, and is so scared that it is her, blames it on other men.

She ends up falling for Jackman, and he finds out what she has done. But she apologizes and they get together, blah blah.

Regardless, the underlying emotions I think most people can relate to, who have ever really love and lost and didn’t know why.

See this movie if you like good looking actors and funny love stories. If you are put off by slightly slovenliest men, you may want to pass. But I know you’re not, so see this one. You won’t regret it.
