Title: An endearing romantic comedy...
Review: Star quality and old-fashioned sex-appeal are the highlights of Someone Like You, a fairly predictable romantic comedy than nonetheless tugs at the heartstrings with surprising effectiveness. Ashley Judd is Jane, a talent-booker for a talk show host who has her heart broken by the show's producer (Greg Kinnear). To spite her ex, Jane moves in with Eddie (Hugh Jackman) another staffer who needs a roommate. The results, of course, are predictable. We all know that Jane and Eddie are bound for romance, but the screen-sizzle between Judd and Jackman is more than worth it. Also worth the price are the special features on the DVD, which include an alternate ending which, thankfully, was not used.While Someone Like You won't win any points for originality, it does score big-time for romance and chuckles. While it's definitely not Oscar-quality, it is probably worth owning, especially for the occasional romantic date night.
