A Lot Like Love (2005)

She's a punk chick. He's a dumbo. Maybe in reverse, i don't know. They see each other at airport and trying to establish some sort of aural connection. Electricity is in the air and cost nothing. Then they got high in the sky and have intercourse with each other. That's the first five minutes of the movie and you can feel real romance. But it's not.What's the point when they act like stupid people? Is love stupid? Is life a embarrassment for the living? My eyes saw it and were in disbelief.First point is the first five minutes. Second is the next six and a half years these weirdos chasing each other while got successful businesses (selling diapers), failed relationships (in both ways their companions just saying "i'm leaving" without much consequences) and photo gallerys (chick doesn't know how to selfie). While chasing they pose naked, simulating choking and drive relentlessly while stuffing their nose with glasses (don't ask why). Peter Cetera's voice in the set.So is this "romance" is worth anybody's time? As main character's deaf brother said - "Life doesn't wait for you to get back on your feet." Don't fall in this movie's trap.

Something makes this movie really special...Though it has not a complex humor or plot, this very typical love story always catches my attention. If you are a dreamer and pursue spontaneity in your life you will just resemble yourself in this movie. Everyone has dreams and decisions to make throughout lifetime and this story is about it. Very positive and young image of adulthood. One of the nicest things of this movie is the wonderful soundtrack...it just fits in a smooth and cheesy (not too much) way. The songs just penetrate you on the right moments. If you are a dreamer and left something behind in your life unsolved, just watch this movie...

i like romantic films and i also like Aston Kutcher he is a great entertainer but this is one of his films that had serious potential to be one of the best films ever made the characters were amazing but sadly the script did't do much justice.the plot of this film was going well but in middle something were important is missing what it is will explain it.the story is about oliver and Emily who meet and have fun the girl is funny and full of life but this boy is shy and one day he makes a vow to her that in six years he will be a rich and successful man,will be married to a great lady & have a great life now he gives his mothers number to Emily and tells her to call after 6 or 7 years later.now here is the mess guys see this 6 and seven years story this all went into trash when Emily calls oliver only 3 years after & they continue to meet and have sex too,what was disappointing that Emily changed a lot not only her hair she became a lot mature and oliver is still the same he is not married & never became a rich guy that he vowed to be in the future.the film would have became more interesting if they never crossed paths in gap of 6 years & oliver was changed like he was married & have kids etc & forgot Emily but you know this is Hollywood no tragic stories allowed.i am ranting because the way these characters were going and the actors put a lot of effort into it almost everything got wasted.even with the faulty script & flaws this film is not that bad it has its moments its got comedy,romance but most of all the chemistry between Aston Kutcher & Amanda Peet their performance is all you need to look out this film for.specially Amanda Peet she is so stunning plus a good actress too she reminds me a lot of Yancy Butler.i am not saying i did not enjoyed it yes i did but in the moments not the whole film because their sudden & surprising meets ruined pretty much all of it,the first 35 minutes of this film are epic rest of it is usual stuff.A Lot Like Love 2005 is like a burger with only cheese & no meat inside it my rating is 4/10.

OK. So, I'm a guy. Who loves sports and beer. But I also appreciate a well done romantic comedy. The good: Four Weddings and A Funeral, Love Actually, How to Lose a Guy in 10 days. The bad: almost anything else I've seen Ashton Kutcher do (Just Married, What Happens in Vegas, No Strings Attached). However, this movie was great for me. I think there were 2 main reasons: 1) The chemistry between Peet and Kutcher is as good as I've seen. I really question how there are people on here that didn't see that (I'm assuming by the comments that they were blinded by pre existing biases against these actors). The scene in the car with her singing and him trying to tell a story is one of the best I've seen for this sort of light genre.2) At the root of it, it was a very relatable story. Sure, there was lots of far fetched scenarios, but I'm sure many of us have the one that got away, or the one where the timing never worked out (though in life, there isn't usually the happy ending to this story, and that's fine) Anyhow, I keep coming back to this film. As I tell people, I'm sure I overrate this film above its merits. But it's simple. These movies are supposed to entertain you, and pull you into the story. It's all subjective, but mission accomplished for me. Rent it if you want a light night in.
