Synopsis

Based on Laura Zigman's 1998 novel -Animal Husbandry, this romantic comedy centers on Jane Goodale (Ashley Judd), a talk-show producer who finds herself suddenly abandoned by her boyfriend (Greg Kinnear). After this untimely breakup, Jane begins to develop a thesis that male behavior is directly related to that of wildlife, with similar patterns existing in both. She studies the tendency for animals to be noncommittal and compares men to bulls, dogs, and other creatures. To prove her theories, she enlists the help of her roommate Eddie (Hugh Jackman), a womanizer who falls into all of the patterns of her research. When applying her studies to Eddie, she gains exposure and suddenly becomes a sensation as a pseudonymous sex columnist. This is the second directorial effort from actor Tony Goldwyn, after his 1999 feature A Walk on the Moon. ~ Jason Clark, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review

Tony Goldwyn's warm romantic comedy gets a satisfying DVD treatment courtesy of 20th Century Fox. A pleasant anamorphic widescreen transfer makes Manhattan gleam, and the 1.85:1 transfer further highlights the various locales. Sound is not a major factor here, but the 5.1 Dolby Surround is still welcome. Extras are also nicely done. Goldwyn offers a commentary track, and there are seven alternate scenes and an alternate ending to pore over. Additionally, the disc offers a handful of trailers and TV spots and a promotional featurette. Overall, the DVD of Someone Like You is well worth the rental price for its pleasant picture and sound, but the extras help bump it up to a possible buy. ~ Jeremy Brown, All Movie Guide

This is a really great romantic comedy. You gotta love anything with Greg Kinnear and Hugh Jackman in it.
