Editorial Review:
In the spirit of WHEN HARRY MET SALLY comes A LOT LIKE LOVE, the romantic comedy about destiny and the possibilities of a chance encounter evolving into a close encounter of the happily-ever-after kind. Ashton Kutcher (GUESS WHO) and Amanda Peet (SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE) set off sparks as opposites who attract and have a one-flight stand from LA to New York. When the trip's over, they are too -- and both move on but can't really let go. As they search for love that doesn't end in disaster, they keep finding each other. And while the chemistry that first brought them together keeps generating heat, the timing is always wrong. This funny and disarming story of modern romance will have you falling in love over and over again.
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:
Disjointed, quirky, boring, not much story, no romance 
2009-09-13 - These two characters never hook up until the end. It's a little depressing to see the depiction of two young people who can't maintain stable relationships. If it was love then they should have stayed on it from the beginning. But this movie is not a bit like love. The storyline is non-existant and they don't stay together till the very end. The movie starts being unpredictable but then is predictable in that the characters just don't stay together. Not much comedy and nearly no romance. Try something like The Proposal (Single Disc Widescreen) if you want to know what a romantic comedy can be.
Funny! 
2009-09-10 - This is an older movie with Ashton Kutcher, but it is really funny! Probably considered a chick flick.
Muy entretenida 
2009-04-21 - Muy buena película. Especial para quienes les gustan las de tipo romántico y vivieron la época dorada de los emprendimientos de Internet. Buenas actuaciones y buena música. Muy bien los protagonistas.
Recomendable.

great movie
2009-02-18 - I saw this movie on TV one weekend and knew I had to have it. I could not find it in any of my local movie or department stores, so I went straight to amazon.com to find it. Sure enough, they had it and a great price for it too. Received emails throughout the ordering and shipping processes and received my DVD well packaged about the time, maybe a day earlier, than I expected. I've bought quite a few items from amazon.com and have never been disappointed yet.
