Jane Goodale has everything going for her. She's a producer of a popular daytime talk show, and is in a hot romance with the show's dashing executive producer Ray. When Ray unexpectedly dumps her, she begins an extensive study of male behavior to try to find out what makes men tick. Her "research" leads her to become an overnight sensation/guru for single women everywhere. When Jane begins to use her womanizing roommate and co-worker Eddie as fodder for her research, she finds both humor and answers where they were least expected. Written by

Quotes
Eddie:
It's over. Why can't you just let it go?
Jane:
I can't.
Eddie:
Why?
Jane:
Because I was happy. Because if this theory is wrong, men don't leave all women, Eddie. They leave me.
Eddie:
I know it hurts. I know. It's so hard to believe that something that wonderful can ever happen to us again, but it can.

Romantic comedies are all hampered by the same thing, predictability.
We know the female lead will have her heart broken, and then through a series of madcap adventures, find out her one true love was there all along. "Someone Like You" is no different in this regard. So the only way for such a film to win us over, is with great acting from the stars, and more importantly, an entertaining and well thought out script. "Someone Like You" meets both criteria.
Ashley Judd and Hugh Jackman have great chemistry together, and give fine performances. Greg Kinnear is, well, Greg Kinnear. But the script is what brings this movie home. It passes over some of the more obvious plot points, in favor of predictable, yet satisfying outcomes.
Not a bad date for women, and us cows alike!
