Oliver (Ashton Kutcher) and Emily (Amanda Peet) first met when they were college students sharing a flight from California to New York; Emily spontaneously seduced Oliver on the plane, and they spent the next few days together in the city. When they parted, however, Emily decided not to pursue a relationship with Oliver, even though he was obviously interested. Over the next several years, circumstances kept putting them in one another's paths, and over the years Oliver and Emily became close friends and confidantes. Both are still certain, though, that they're entirely wrong for each other on a romantic level. However, after nearly a decade, with both Oliver and Emily edging into their thirties, they begin to wonder if they've allowed a great opportunity to pass them by. A Lot Like Love also stars Kathryn Hahn, Ali Larter, and Kal Penn. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
This is the kind of movie where the lovers don't have to worry about fate keeping them apart -- all they do is manufacture excuses not to be together, because if they didn't, you wouldn't have a movie.
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
The only reason I was rooting for them to get together was that than they would both be off the market.
-
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
An unfortunate casting decision, however, comes close to sabotaging a witty script with fresh insights into the trend of young people postponing marriage while waiting for some grand plan of theirs to materialize.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
A pleasant little romantic comedy that doesn't try too hard and has the virtue of doing a few things differently.
-
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
A Lot Like Love ... is a cute movie.
