It's a nice love story.

These post-1998 witty romantic comedies seem to follow a familiar ploy in hopes to stand out in a sea of sameness. That ploy is a simple attempt identifying with young people that think this sort of deliberately obtuse wit exists in real These post-1998 witty romantic comedies seem to follow a familiar ploy in hopes to stand out in a sea of sameness. That ploy is a simple attempt identifying with young people that think this sort of deliberately obtuse wit exists in real life and is plausible to apply their own lives. The reality is that such phantasmagorical wit-ridden romance doesn't define a damn thing about young people in society however much those who identify with this prototypical movie would like to think so. I call this The Garden State Complex, and in addition to sounding like a nice Emo band, this complex seems to be quite widspread.… Expand

I actually thought it was really good-but not great. Predictable though it was, it still managed to be charming and Peet and Kutcher had chemistry.

Romantic comedy with mostly well-written dialogue interspersed with a few lines that makes one cringe. Amanda Peet is deliciously authentic as the both bubbly and headstrong deubtante-in-denial. Good underlying theme: Long-term relationships Romantic comedy with mostly well-written dialogue interspersed with a few lines that makes one cringe.

Being one of those people who can sit back and enjoy a predictable, popcorn type movie without much worrying about plot and just enjoying it for what it is, I hated this one. Something about this movie just rubbed me the wrong way- with Being one of those people who can sit back and enjoy a predictable, popcorn type movie without much worrying about plot and just enjoying it for what it is, I hated this one. Something about this movie just rubbed me the wrong way- with sandpaper. It's not a terrible concept (althought it does test your patience) and the writing is passable. It could've been wittier, it could've used a few more 'smart' laughs. Actually, I think the thing that put me off this one is the casting (and even the writing) of the two main characters. Ashton Kutcher I can handle- Just Married was nice, I actually like him paired with Brittany Murphy. He seems to be slowly heading for the dreaded funk that so many romantic/comedy lead men have fallen into- he's playing the same character in every movie. Steve Martin did this for years, but he had the advantage of some of the best scripts and characters ever created in the genre. Somehow, Ashton's Kelso character in That 70's Show had more definition than this role. But Amanda Peet grinds on my nerves like no one else can. There's an inherent smarm factor in her that makes her unstomachable to me, and it overpowers the movie itself. Movies that she has been in that I've liked, I've liked in spite of her because the quality of the rest of the cast and the script have pulled it up. (Something's gotta Give, Igby Goes Down) This movie had none of that charm, but could've worked with two leads who actually had some chemistry and a few re-writes by someone like Kevin Smith.… Expand

We all know where this movie will go from start to beginning and there are some cool ideas in the movie that are not executed well. If you want to see how a photographer's work is captured in a love story and moments of realizations We all know where this movie will go from start to beginning and there are some cool ideas in the movie that are not executed well. If you want to see how a photographer's work is captured in a love story and moments of realizations (watch Shopgirl). It's your typical movie using montages with your popular ballads of the year. Ashton Kutcher can't translate into a descent actor and Pete carries the movie but isn't always convincing. There is no heart or charm in the movie, just cheap scenes with crap music.… Expand

A Lot Like Love could have been a generic Rom-Com but it has two things going for it and those two things are its talented leads Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet. The story isnâ

I dont like romantic comedies and sh1t but this was actually pretty good lightweight funny movie. The actors were both very charismatic likable sexy, they saved the movie. 7.1/10. Also the second part is not so romantic anymore ...
