Susan Stark, Detroit News: The smartest cinematic take on he/she in memory. Read more

Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News: Isn't exactly a great date movie unless you like to argue afterward. Read more

A.O. Scott, New York Times: Elizabeth Chandler's script has, by my count, exactly one sort-of-funny line and not a single scene whose comic possibilities are successfully exploited. Read more

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Definitely likeable. Read more

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Smart, amiable and well-paced. Read more

Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Uncommonly flat and uninteresting. Read more

Paul Tatara, CNN.com: An enjoyable pastry of a film that, for the first time in years, shows off Judd's considerable talents to full effect. Read more

Steven Rosen, Denver Post: The film, whose forgettable title is a good indication of its originality, is little more than a collection of Judd's excessive facial expressions and body movements. Read more

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: The very definition of innocuous. Read more

Globe and Mail: Read more

John Anderson, Newsday: All over the place, and seems to have been made by embittered married people. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Someone Like You could probably be charitably characterized as 'cute,' but there's such a lack of direction and energy that it could also be described as 'sleep inducing.' Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: A pretty lame premise. Read more

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: Someone Like You hammers so hard at its cutesy premise of animal-mating-ritual theories that it fairly numbs you. Read more

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: A romantic comedy with insights into sex and relationships that are old and obvious. Read more

Derek Adams, Time Out: It's neither clever nor that funny, the starry cast is underused, and the potential for a much wittier script never fulfilled. Read more

Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today: A little lifeless. Read more

Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: A particularly shallow dissection of single-woman blues. Read more

Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Forgettable affair. Read more
