THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION. Every Thursday in 2012, I am connecting movies through actors.

March is all MUSICALS!

In honor of Alfred Hitchcock's death on April 29, 1980, April is dedicated to Hitch, and all my favorites.

Someone Like You, 2001


Director: Tony Goldwyn
Stars: Ashley Judd, Greg Kinnear, Hugh Jackman, Marisa Tomei









Cute. Not the cleanest movie ever, but not the dirtiest either. Very cute!

Jane (Judd) meets Ray (Kinnear), and they begin dating, though he is already dating Dee. Six weeks later, Ray calls it off just as they are planning to move in together. Needing a place to stay (not to mention recover), she moves in with her womanizing co-worker, Eddie (Jackman). With her life falling apart, Jane comes up with a theory for why men leave women. Under a false name, her theories (equating men with cows) are published in a men's magazine, and suddenly everyone wants to meet and interview her! Or her assumed identity, anyway.

And of course, the truth is going to come out. Soon everyone will know the real identity of "Dr. Marie Charles", and Jane will realize that she has probably misjudged men, especially Eddie.

I love Greg Kinnear. He's so hilarious in this movie!
