Cast adrift, Jane accepts a roommate offer from her womanizing colleague Eddie (X-Men's Hugh Jackman), who's been nursing his own heartbreak with lots of casual sex. You can see where this is going, and actor-director Tony Goldwyn (following his underrated drama Walk on the Moon) doesn't offer any surprises. But Goldwyn is alert to the comedy of human foibles, and the movie peaks when Jane's defenses are down and Judd's appeal shines at full intensity. At her best, Judd makes an average script better than it has a right to be, and while Kinnear perfects his smarmy routine, Jackman matches them both with star-making sincerity. Someone Like You won't win any awards for originality, but it's universal in its comedic sympathy for the brokenhearted.
Jane Goodale, belle et talentueuse est sur le point de s'installer avec Ray Brown, producteur du talk-show dont elle est le bras droit de l'animatrice, Diane Roberts. Au dernier moment Ray se défile, Jane effondrée cherche à comprendre et établit une théorie amoureuse basée sur les mœurs des bovins. Echaudée et blindée, elle accepte d'emménager chez un collègue, Eddie Alden, dragueur impénitent. Puis Liz, sa meilleure amie lui propose d'exposer sa théorie dans le magazine pour lequel elle travaille…
