Description of A Lot Like Love (Widescreen Edition):
The words "subtle" and "Ashton Kutcher" rarely appear in the same sentence, but here goes: A Lot Like Love, a romantic comedy starring Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet, is surprisingly and pleasantly subtle. The story starts when Emily (Peet, Igby Goes Down) and Oliver (Kutcher, Dude, Where's My Car?) meet on a flight to New York and have a tryst in the airplane bathroom. After a day's dalliance, they part and don't meet again for four years--when they meet, spend a day together, part, and don't meet again until...you begin to get the idea. The script could have been dangerously cute, but director Nigel Cole (who helmed the delightful Calendar Girls) carefully steers Peet and Kutcher, two actors not generally noted for their grasp of character nuance, towards fairly three-dimensional portrayals of two floundering twentysomethings who can't seem to find the right moment. There are a few rom-com cliches--at one point, Oliver serenades Emily in front of an audience of her neighbors--but most of the movie is low-key, engaging, and smacks of actual human experience. Also featuring Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle) and Kathryn Hahn (Anchorman). --Bret Fetzer
A Lot Like Love (Widescreen Edition) Reviews:
Surprisingly a good film. 
2008-07-04 - I must say I have never been a big fan of Ashton Kutcher however Amanda Pete is a different story she was in a Tv show called Jack & Jill which I really enjoyed so I took a chance and boy I was glad I did. This movie far exceed my expectations towards Ashton since most of his films has been more like overboard comedy which i never cared for. This film has a good amount of both comedy and romance and they balance very well.
Perfect condition DVD
2008-06-02 - I had a hard time finding this movie in my local stores, so Amazon was the perfect solution. I can always find what I'm looking for, at a great price. This DVD arrived timely and in perfect condition.
Batter's up
2008-05-08 - The path of true love never did run smooth. Oliver and Emily hit and miss each other over the course of seven years, stepping in and out of intimacy. I love the playfulness between these characters. Though their characters change in terms of career plans, priorities, and wardrobe (Emily does a 180 in the wardrobe department), they still act like the same pair of kids who had the spontaneous tryst in the airplane bathroom.
Oliver is determined to undo the "three strikes" against him that have prejudiced Emily against him from the get-go (at least the two that he can control). He learns to play the guitar well enough to serenade Emily with a Bon Jovi song (or as my friends and I used to say in college, a bon jovial song), and it turns out Oliver did sort of make the first move afterall, if you count taking a photograph of a perfect stranger "the first move."
This movie is simultaneously formulaic and original. It was fun and zany. I was swooning over Ashton (eye candy if ever there was); I couldn't help it, he's too darn cute. Two thumbs up: good romantic comedy and companion movie to "Serendipity." Also, great music on the soundtrack.
A lot like love
2007-12-24 - The first copy of this DVD I got had a big slice mark across the whole cover from top to bottom, so I went online and the even exchange process was so easy. I was able to print out the shipping label and everything right at home. And my replacement DVD came very quickly so the whole thing went splendidly. Thanks!!!!
