Featured reviews
Ashton Kutcher is usually very unwatchable, but in this picture he helps create a shy and ambitious lead in Oliver Martin. Oliver is a dreamer who puts all his energy in creating a internet company to sell diapers. Then there's the always animated Amanda Peet as Emily. Emily from early on tries to push Oliver to explore life. Ashton and Amanda make a great team on camera and also have great chemistry when it comes to the more emotional parts of the movie.
Overall "A Lot Like Love" is a great romantic comedy with real heart and is really worth watching.
To knick-pick the movie on plot or commercialization is to miss the writers passion for what he/she is trying to convey. Take the movie for what it is at face value and that is to travel through their relationship in all the what-if's, all the heart breaks and joys. If you let yourself do that you will enjoy a great story with someone you at one time shared the same passion with. -Curt & Tam
I won't give away any spoilers, but I highly recommend watching this movie alone so you can truly feel its impact. It's not the kind of film to watch with a bunch of friends on the weekend. In the end, the writing and acting are impressive. Peace.

- TriviaThe scene where Emily and Oliver are standing naked behind the car and Oliver tells her that she just "looked" (at his genital area) wasn't primarily shot for the movie. It was actually a real moment between Amanda Peet and Ashton Kutcher that the director decided to use for the film afterwards.
- GoofsIn the restaurant, when the waitress is putting the food onto the table, there is much greenery on Oliver's dish. But in the shot from behind Oliver's shoulder there is almost no green.
