    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The make-up artist trying to put powder on Jane's (Ashley Judd) face right before she goes on Diane's show is played by Naomi Judd, Ashley Judd's mother.
    • Goofs
      The closing scene was re-shot while Hugh Jackman was filming X-Men (2000) and so Eddie's hairstyle is different from the rest of the movie.
    • 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.

    • Crazy credits
      Thanks to the University of Kentucky Wildcats Cheerleading Team.
    • Alternate versions
      There is an alternate ending sequence on the DVD. The final exchange between Jane and Eddie take place on a rooftop, and not in the street like in the released version.

    Witty, Funny, a Movie for Women
    Ladies, we know what it feels to be completely in love and then be cast aside for little or no reason and it stings. Well our heroine in "Someone Like You" set about expressing her disgust of male behavior and her anguish at being dumped in unorthodox methods. I had no clue what to think of the film when I first watched, but within five to ten minutes I was laughing so hard that I began to enjoy the story. Now I'm not a girl who likes players, but I couldn't help immediately falling in love with the character of Eddie Alden, played by Hugh Jackman, just like Ashley Judd's character did. Way too funny and being a huge fan of Hugh's acting, how can I resist.

    Not a fan of rom-coms either, but as previously stated the acting and the wit and humor of the script was appealing to me. Give it a shot if you're a fan of the rom-com or comedy genre or if you need a good laugh on a bad day.
