Someone Like You...2001

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

A rom-com relic from before Hollywood’s current obsession with radical representation. "Someone Like You..." plays things safe, focusing on timeless romantic foibles with only mild, harmless nods to gender banter. A non-woke comfort watch, even with a few outdated jokes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Someone Like You..." centers primarily on relationship dynamics and classic rom-com misunderstandings. Identity traits aren’t foregrounded over character or plot, and the casting choices fit the genre conventions of the early 2000s. There’s little evidence of forced representation or characters inexplicably flawless due to identity factors.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film gently pokes fun at gender roles, but traditional notions of romance, family, and personal growth remain intact. There’s no major subversion of masculinity, religion, or cultural traditions; instead, it leans on familiar romantic frameworks despite occasional light-hearted stereotypes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film features a range of perspectives on relationships, cynical, idealistic, and pragmatic, without caricaturing dissenting views. If anything, disgruntled singlehood and traditional romance exist side-by-side. Modern ideology isn’t enforced, and alternative worldviews aren’t villainized or erased.
