Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
How sad is this?
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
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...
A well-done Romantic-Comedy is rare & I cherish it when I see a really good one. And 'A Lot Like Love' is exactly the kinda ROM-COM I cherish & entirely fall for. This is True Romance, depicted on celluloid, with simplicity.'A Lot Like Love' tells the story of Two Individuals (Ashton Kutcher & Amanda Peet), whose relationship slowly evolves from lust to friendship to romance over the course of seven years.'A Lot Like Love' is a strongly constructed love-story, thats filled with funny & amusing moments. Colin Patrick Lynch's Screenplay is a complete winner. From start to finish, you're invested in this near-decade long love-story, about Two Individuals. The Writing touches the core of your heart, without ever succumbing to melodrama. Nigel Cole's Direction is top-notch. Cinematography is eye-filling. Editing is quite crisp.Performance-Wise: Ashton Kutcher & Amanda Peet, underrated actors, both, make for a genuinely adorable on-screen couple. Kutcher is perfectly awkward, while Peet exudes honesty. They are infectious together & lead the show with their performances. Of the supporting cast, Kathryn Hahn & Kal Penn leave a strong impression.On the whole, 'A Lot Like Love' depicts romance in its truest form.
Yeah, I've seen it more than a couple of times but it is still SO ENJOYABLE.Ashton gets to show his acting chops, as well as his singing ability and he and Amanda Peet have a great chemistry. So many cute and funny moments. Not "hah-hah" funny, but just really cute.Ashton's use of ASL is also good to watch - the interacting with Ty Giordano is great. Plus, the soundtrack is great.You think you know where it's going until a few cricks happen. And then the end, which is entirely satisfactory, helped along by 'Oliver's sister' shouting her favorite phrase at him, which helps break up the emotion of the ending. Rent it or see it. It's really a "feel good" movie.
For someone who's ever been in love and not the cheesy kinda. but the one that takes time to build up slowly and u go through a lot of upheaval before finally taking the plunge. Each time Emily and Olivier meet, one appears to be settled and content while the other is struggling to make headway in both life and career. Eventually they come to the realization that each is exactly the person the other one needs for fulfillment. Who says there is no difference between Complete and Finish??? Choose the right person n u r complete, choose the wrong person n u r finished!!! Awesome movie. Brilliantly written and the chemistry between ashton kutcher and amanda peet is simply superb. They create superb moments on screen.. feels .. a lot like love.. :)
