Someone Like You Reviews

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for romantic-comedies, I thought I should give it a try. Furthermore, there was a charming cast (Ashley Judd, Greg Kinnear, Hugh Jackman, Marisa Tomei) so maybe it could be a nice surprise. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of those rather underwhelming entries in this genre. Basically, it is one of those romantic-comedies which spends a terrible amount of time developing a lame plot based on some lame concept instead of making sure that they are creating some genuinely interesting characters. The whole thing was obviously based on some old stereotypes and, right from the start, you could see where it was getting at. Of course, you could argue that predictability is something inherent to this genre and you would be right. Personally, I don’t really mind if the whole thing is predictable but I certainly need to have some endearing and compelling characters to watch and that was definitely not the case here. Still, the actors were so damned charming, I wish they got a better story to chew on. Especially, I have a huge weak spot for Ashley Judd and it’s too bad she is not on the A list anymore doing some (even more) forgettable stuff nowadatys. To conclude, I have seen worse but I still think it is a rather average romantic-comedy and it is not really worth a look, even if you love the genre like I do.
