• 10 MovieguideMovieguide SOMEONE LIKE YOU tells a heartwarming, romantic story about love and reconciliation. Viewers will enjoy clean, uplifting entertainment with a faith-based perspective. Read
• 9.0 Tribute.caAlexandra Heilbron This romantic drama has a wonderful assortment of action, adventure, emotion and mystery to keep audiences entertained throughout — and the feel-good story will lift your spirits. Read
• 8.0 Pauline Media StudiesHosea Rupprecht Someone Like You puts the audience right alongside Dawson as he grapples with the conflicting feelings he's having. Read
• 7.5 Aisle SeatMike McGranaghan The story is predictable and manipulative, yet it's also filled with optimism and hope. Read
• 7.5 Parent PreviewsKirsten Hawkes Not only is the movie predictable, but the central romance between Dawson and Andi struggles with a lack of chemistry, and some unintentional creepiness. Read
• 7.0 NYC Movie GuruAvi Offer To be fair, if you can handle the cheesiness in Nicholas Sparks romances, you'll find the cheesiness in Someone Like You to be tolerable and the ending to be effectively heartwarming. Read
• 6.0 Rachel's ReviewsRachel Wagner All that said, if you are Christian and like Sparksian type narratives (this is by fellow cheese-provider Karen Kingsbury) give it a try. You'll probably like it. Read
• 6.0 Shadows on the WallRich Cline Warm and sudsy from the start, this picturesque faith-based romance focusses on longing glances and inner yearning. Read
• 5.0 Original-CinLiz Braun Someone Like You is essentially a 30-minute Hallmark-like film stretched into two hours of romance novel fluff via playful-lovebird music videos and other visual padding. Read
• 5.0 Winnipeg Free PressAlison Gillmor Buoyant but bland, this inspirational romance feels like a Hallmark movie that has inexplicably expanded to fit the big screen. Read
• 4.0 Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo Chen The story in Someone Like You feels like it would have been better served on television than on the big screen. Read
• 4.0 The GateAndrew Parker The sentimentality (and emotional manipulation) are heartfelt, but the story, scenes, characters, plot points, dialogue, and musings about faith throughout are wholly inauthentic and cheap. Read
• 4.0 KKFIRuss Simmons This faith-based tearjerker is very contrived but will score for those predisposed to lightweight Lifetime Channel fare. Others, beware. Read
• 4.0 Church TimesStephen Brown This film will appeal to some Christians. But it is questionable whether using Andi as a deus ex machina to solve everyone's problems will win converts. Read
• 2.0 Culture MixCarla Hay "Someone Like You" is a cloying and boring drama where some creepy actions from a lovelorn suitor are glossed over in unrealistic ways. Read
• 2.0 Flaw in the IrisCarsten Knox Maybe God forgives, but this movie won't get much mercy from this critic. Read
