Reviews for Someone Like You
An enjoyable pastry of a film that, for the first time in years, shows off Judd's considerable talents to full effect.

Top CriticA pretty lame premise.

Top CriticMen are from Mars, women are from Venus, Someone Like You is from Hollywood's bottomless box of cliches.
03/30/01
A relaxed and sassy romantic comedy ripe with tart observations on sexual politics.
03/30/01
Forgettable affair.
03/29/01
Worth seeing because its fresh, engaging stars inject realistic behavior into unreal situations.
03/29/01
So witless, sit-com shallow and bad in every way that it's just not worthy of much discussion.
03/29/01
Someone Like You hammers so hard at its cutesy premise of animal-mating-ritual theories that it fairly numbs you.

Even with Judd, Kinnear and science in his herd, Goldwyn can't keep Someone Like You from giving viewers plenty to beef about.

There's nothing else about Someone Like You to separate it from the herd.

The kind that reduces any female impulse to irrational emotionalism.

Someone Like You is likable enough to make it this weekend's date movie.
03/29/01
An oddly flat, quirky romantic comedy.
03/29/01
Until the last five minutes, this is an almost flawless romantic comedy.
03/29/01
Isn't exactly a great date movie unless you like to argue afterward.
03/29/01
A pleasant if unexciting update of a '50s career-girl melodrama, substituting an experienced, disillusioned heroine for the virginal innocents of time past.
