By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

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.

This film tells the story of a man and a woman, who has a connection but have not got a chance to be probably together. They spend seven years drifting, and finally they make a decision about their lives.The story is built rather slowly, and it really should not have taken almost two hours to get to the inevitable, predictable ending. The two leads walk through their lives, and the story does not get interesting or engaging. It does not feel sweet or romantic, which is pretty hard to achieve for a romantic comedy. I have been wanting to watch this film for years, but unfortunately I am hugely disappointed by it.

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.

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.
