	Someone Like You: Cinephiles Movie Review
		Someone Like You, based on the novel "Animal Husbandry" by Laura Zigman, attempts to create a comical point of view by having its main character liken male behaviour to animal mating habits.
		Someone Like You establishes a funny analogy of men as bulls and women as cows to explain the otherwise "mysterious" inability of men to commit to a single mate.
		In spite of the humorous analogy, however, Someone Like You is weakened by the character of Jane "Goodale", which instantly recalls renowned scientist Jane Goodall and her study of chimpanzees.

	MovieFreak.Com - Someone Like You Review
		Throughout the movie there are title cards that hint, or tell, in what stage the main character or the movie is in.
		Someone Like You is the story of Jane Goodale (Ashley Judd), a TV show booker.
		Overall, Someone Like You is the type of romantic drama to throw in the middle of Spring, hoping it will interest a target audience of mostly women who can relate and interpret the main character's views on male behavior.

	Someone Like You (2001): Reviews
		As a movie, it knows little about men, women or television shows, but has studied movie formulas so carefully that we can see each new twist and turn as it creeps ever so slowly into view.
		I loved this movie, it was a funny and romantic comedy with a great story and had solid support from great actors and actresses.
		Haha, not exactly what the movie is all about, but that's what drew me to the movie at first.

	Someone Like You (2001) - A Review by David Nusair
		I probably would have liked this movie a lot less had I known exactly what was going to happen, because really, there's not much else going for this movie.
		Someone Like You is one of those bubbly, frothy (hmm, how many adjectives for enjoyable can I throw in here?), charming (ok, that's enough) romantic comedies that doesn't get made too much these days.
		And in the case of Someone Like You, that's a yes.

	Review: Someone Like You (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Someone Like You could probably be charitably characterized as "cute", but there's such a lack of direction and energy that it could also be described as "sleep inducing".
		Someone Like You is so concerned with trivial issues and secondary relationships that it loses sight of the main couple.
		Like all movies of the genre, success or failure depends far more on casting than on plot or direction.

	Someone Like You (2001) Starring: Ashley Judd, Greg Kinnear, Hugh Jackman - Three Movie Buffs Review
		If it seems like a weak plot, that's only because it is. In fact this movie almost tries to be the Seinfeld of Love Stories, relying on conversation between the characters, rather than plot points, to move the story forward.
		Go and see it with someone you love, and if you find your date is attracted to Hugh Jackman, don't worry, Ashley Judd does a cheerleading routine in panties and a tank top that will more than make up for it.
		Even Ashley's speech at the end of the movie, where she retracts all she has thought to be correct comes off sounding unsupported.

		Someone Like You confirmed everything I'd ever suspected about romantic comedies as a not-so-subtle form of brainwashing.
		I was so impressed by some of the music in the movie that I bought the CD and I surely do not regret it.
		If you are an old rock and roll schooler like me with a soft spot and open mind for good material, I can't imagine not liking the bluesy Taj Mahal cut or the Van Morrison cut.

	[ Times Free Press Movie Review: Only the title is vanilla in 'Someone Like You'] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Like all bland romantic comedies, the title is a vague reference to something in the second person.
		The rest of the movie follows Judd as she tries to apply this "old cow" theory to the relationships around her.
		"Someone Like You," is an enjoyable, funny love story, but it deserves a better introduction to moviegoers than the bland, cowardly title allows.

	SOMEONE LIKE YOU. A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		The person that "gets" us; the person every single person has in his or her mind's eye; the person with which all others are compared against - the one, the someone like you.
		Albeit a light-hearted comedy, Someone Like You explores the deeper issues of the human heart: of love and courage lost, of cynicism embraced, of hearts broken and restored, ready to share once again, and of the balance between openness and wisdom.
		Someone Like You is a lesson in judging character, about looking beneath outward appearances and behavior.

	Someone Like You Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		"Someone Like You" is the cinematic adaptation of Laura Zigman's best-selling novel "Animal Husbandry".
		"Someone Like You" follows the travails of Jane Goodale (Ashley Judd of "Double Jeopardy"), the talent booker for a New York-based talk show hosted by Diane Roberts (Ellen Barkin of "Drop Dead Gorgeous").
		"Someone Like You" starts off interestingly enough, as Judd's voiceover explains the basis for her theory, and a number of title placards identify the steps of her infatuation and eventual disillusionment with Ray.

	Movie Review: Someone Like You / Mountain Xpress / Asheville, NC
		At that, Someone Like You manages to get by a good deal of the time on the strength of the characterizations, a degree of wit, competent (though not very exciting) direction by Tony Goldwyn, and the likable and believable playing of Ashley Judd and Hugh Jackman.
		What is particularly unfortunate is that Someone Like You has the seeds for something truly fresh, funny and pertinent but they are never allowed to sprout.
		The premise is certainly sound and unusual: when Ashley Judd is unceremoniously dumped by boyfriend Greg Kinnear, she hits upon the theory that men and woman are like bulls and cows and that once a man has a woman she becomes "old cow" and therefore no longer desirable.

	Someone Like You Review :: Hollywood.com
		Dumped, sad, and homeless, Jane spends much of the rest of the movie either crying her eyes out (Judd does cry very prettily) to best friend Liz (Marisa Tomei) and co-worker-turned-new-roommate Eddie Alden (Hugh Jackman), or ranting uncontrollably against the failings of the male animal.
		This is her movie without a doubt, but her unfortunate tendency to turn true comedy into melodrama swiftly grows cloying.
		Someone Like You clearly tries to go beyond the typical romantic comedy but its failure to do so is all the more painful to watch.

		I liked all the movies that i've seen from hugh but i think this is the best cause he is a great partner to jane and he's always taking care about her, but he's more real than leopold and more lovin person than wolverine..
		Someone Like You is a good film but they guy is a true actor and make his presence felt as an actor.

	Someone Like You
		The original title of Someone Like You was Animal Husbandry, after the book by Laura Zigman.
		Someone Like You is similarly bland, a by-the-numbers romantic comedy that treads over familiar ground.
		She certainly has what it takes to be a major star, and this movie will probably be a big boost to an already varied career.

		But sometimes you just feel like checking out the pizza buffet, and when the atmosphere is right and the pizza turns out to be perfect, it can be every bit as satisfying as haute cuisine.
		"Someone Like You" is supposed to be a romantic comedy, yet I only laughed a couple of times throughout.
		One could ask themselves, "What's wrong with this movie?" But the answer itself is the very broad question, "What isn't?" Ashley Judd plays strong, sexy women very well, but she does NOT convince me when she plays a character whom is heart-broken and borderline desperate.

	Movie (Metro Times Detroit) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Someone Like You is based on Laura Zigman’s scathing novel, Animal Husbandry, a comic diatribe against the male gender told by a whip-smart woman who’s had her heart shredded one too many times.
		Someone Like You has that same weird mixture of intelligence and pandering, wanting to elevate audience expectations yet too often falling into simplistic romantic clichés.
		With all its smarts and good intentions, Someone Like You is as blandly predictable as its title, a reassuring and soothing balm for wounds not easily healed.

	Someone Like You (2001)
		In the new Someone Like You, though, the boy-vs.-girl humor fairly creaks with age.
		In Someone Like You's most affecting moment, Eddie and Jane fall asleep together when he comforts her after she's had yet another emotional meltdown.
		Instead, in a bit of absolute grotesquerie, what changes Jane's mind about men is her brother-in-law Steven's (Peter Friedman) loving and supportive reaction to her sister's miscarriage.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Someone Like You"
		Based on Laura Zigman's successful novel "Animal Husbandry," "Someone Like You" is yet another entry in the rash of contemporary women's comedies that are aggressively smart and sassy and packed with a thousand knowing winks about just how tough it is to be a modern babe in this world.
		That must be why, in "Someone Like You," the lead character's theory about the way men, like bulls, are always attracted to "new cows" is explained in detail twice, and then further alluded to until you're fit to bust an udder.
		As Tammy Wynette once sang, sometimes it's hard to be a woman -- although not even she had to sit through movies like these.

	Movie-List - Reviews - Someone Like You
		“Someone Like You” follows around Jane Goodale (Ashley Judd), a young talent booker who works for a sassy weekday talk show called “Diane Roberts: Live”.
		Hugh Jackman, as the second male lead, shows that even in a bad movie he still is showing North American audiences that he is here to stay.
		Aside from alienation, “Someone Like You” has some moments that really help define the male-female relationship and it is hilarious what Judd actually comes up with to address the stereo-typical Hollywood romance gone awry.

	'Someone Like You'
		Her job is to "supply fresh meat," an appropriate metaphor given her later adoption of animal mating habits as explanations for human behavior.
		"Someone Like You" breaks down near the end, just when it wants you to believe everything is falling into place.
		To paraphrase Jane, "Someone Like You" wants to be the movie version of New Cow, but it's really Old Cow.

		Someone Like You, director Tony Goldwyn's gentle new movie, stars Ashley Judd, Greg Kinnear and Hugh Jackman in a romantic comedy about a young woman who works for a high-pressure talk show hostess, well played by Ellen Barkin.
		According to the movie, a bull will mate with a cow only one time and cannot be tricked into mating with the same cow again.
		Someone Like You is R rated, but pleasant and low key with enough bawdy talk and bare skin to keep the audience's interest without offending it.

	Someone Like You \| movies : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
		The new cow/old cow dithering of ''Someone Like You'' is, indeed, the film's idea of a ''Sex and the City'' conceit, but on that infinitely superior show, the anthropomorphic cuteness would have been treated in a few quippy voice overs.
		Here, it's the masochistic heart of the movie, complete with illustrative footage of actual cows (not sexy) and a mystery alter ego plot in which Jane, writing under the alias of a white bun haired ''Ph.D.'' named Dr. Marie Charles, channels her theory into a men's magazine where her friend (Marisa Tomei) is an editor.
		In ''Someone Like You,'' Judd plays a ''career gal,'' but really, what she does is this: She beams, she broods, she sniffles, she throws a tantrum, she does a high school cheerleader routine.

	SOMEONE LIKE YOU movie review (with photos and clips where possible)
		From there, Someone Like You tracks their romance and its refreshingly inventive aftermath.
		Any guy who can be dragged kicking and screaming to this movie is going to learn more than he imagined and, perhaps, more than he wished, about the modern mating game.
		Based on Laura Zigman's novel Animal Husbandry, the movie is director Tony Goldwyn's follow-up to 1999's vastly underappreciated A Walk on the Moon.

	KINNOPIO - Someone Like You (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Someone Like You is a chick flick in every sense of the phrase, and throughout the movie's 100-minute running time I waited and waited for something even remotely unexpected to happen -- but it never did.
		The movie follows Jane after she falls for and gets dumped by her boss, Ray (Greg Kinnear), and is subsequently forced to move in with her coworker Eddie (Hugh Jackman).
		Overall, Someone Like You is your terribly average but mildly entertaining chick flick.

	Someone Like You
		When the annals of male bashing movies are being compiled years from now, they should remember to include “Someone Like You,” an annoyingly thin and unoriginal picture.
		After her relationship with Ray goes south, Jane is forced to move in with office Lothario Eddie (hunk-of-the-month Jackman, last seen in X-Men), the one man she could never in a million years fall for, which means, naturally, that he is exactly the one she does fall for.
		Sorry, no. At the end of the picture we hear the Van Morrison classic from which the movie takes its name, but all that does is make us wish that the filmmakers had managed to extract one tenth of the heart and soul of that song for their movie.

	'Someone Like You' was better in its former life (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Though the movie's plot loosely follows the book, "Someone Like You" takes the joy and whimsy out of "Animal Husbandry." The characters seem diluted, their lives less vivid.
		The character of Ray was less of a jerk, Eddie seemed less of a womanizer and Jane appeared less obsessed with discovering the meaning behind her breakup.
		Judd dove into her performance as Jane, making the movie as watchable as it is. The other actors seemed lost or wooden by comparison.

	Welcome to CampusNut.com -- Movie Reviews
		With the release of Someone Like You, the newest bovine disorder to be on pop culturalists’ lips will be the New Cow/Old Cow Theory.
		Simply put, men are not pigs; rather, they are more like bulls, for after first mating with a new cow, they never mate with her again, instead moving on to a newer cow, until it too becomes old, and the cycle repeats itself.
		Although the plot is pure cookie-cutter romantic comedy, at least for the most part, it’s a diverting cookie-cutter movie that features an attractive cast and locale, as the movie is entirely filmed in the streets of New York City.
