The film is a distinct pleasure.

There are three main reasons for seeing Someone Like You - Ashley Judd, Ashley Judd, and Ashley Judd.

An altogether enjoyable ride.

Smart, amiable and well-paced, and director Tony Goldwyn brings to it an all-too-rare buoyancy and breeziness.

A blah romantic comedy that has the bad taste to force the heavenly Ashley Judd into being an insecure, date-desperate, quirky career gal.

Goes down easily only because Judd and Jackman are eye candy, and because Kinnear and Tomei provide solid comic support.

The various talents on display aren't enough to overcome the sheer blandness of the material.

In supporting roles, Ellen Barkin and Marisa Tomei are marvelously light-footed.

As a movie, it knows little about men, women or television shows, but has studied movie formulas so carefully that we can see each new twist and turn as it creeps ever so slowly into view.

Soft and predictable -- which might be OK if there were more laughs and insight.
