rafsilva24 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...

M MALIK i like romantic films and i also like Aston Kutcher he is a great entertainer but this is one of his films that had serious potential to be one of the best films ever made the characters were amazing but sadly the script did't do much justice.the plot of this film was going well but in middle something were important is missing what it is will explain it.the story is about oliver and Emily who meet and have fun the girl is funny and full of life but this boy is shy and one day he makes a vow to her that in six years he will be a rich and successful man,will be married to a great lady & have a great life now he gives his mothers number to Emily and tells her to call after 6 or 7 years later.now here is the mess guys see this 6 and seven years story this all went into trash when Emily calls oliver only 3 years after & they continue to meet and have sex too,what was disappointing that Emily changed a lot not only her hair she became a lot mature and oliver is still the same he is not married & never became a rich guy that he vowed to be in the future.the film would have became more interesting if they never crossed paths in gap of 6 years & oliver was changed like he was married & have kids etc & forgot Emily but you know this is Hollywood no tragic stories allowed.i am ranting because the way these characters were going and the actors put a lot of effort into it almost everything got wasted.even with the faulty script & flaws this film is not that bad it has its moments its got comedy,romance but most of all the chemistry between Aston Kutcher & Amanda Peet their performance is all you need to look out this film for.specially Amanda Peet she is so stunning plus a good actress too she reminds me a lot of Yancy Butler.i am not saying i did not enjoyed it yes i did but in the moments not the whole film because their sudden & surprising meets ruined pretty much all of it,the first 35 minutes of this film are epic rest of it is usual stuff.A Lot Like Love 2005 is like a burger with only cheese & no meat inside it my rating is 4/10.

sunflowerstrcfla I was flipping through the channels and caught half an hour to the ending on life time. If it wasn't for demand, I don't think I would have rented it. I went through the movie once but got distracted but had a crush on the movie.Later on that night, I saw it again and fell in love with the movie. What chemistry these two actors have and the story line is beautiful. I always have been involved with men who are first my friends and I am in a similar situation with a past flame. I'm not a fan of Ashton but he was adorable in this movie. Can't wait to see it again.Its cute, funny, playful, tearful, happy romantic comedy. The music is fantastic too. How come I never saw this. Please rent it.

jacksilverz09 Does a classic love story have to be from an age with no automobiles? Does a classic have to be really dramatic? This picture struck me as a one of the best love stories I have come across. It's all in the modern age,no TNT music, no heroic feats of passion,no tear shedding drama,in fact no poetry either....just the problems, the hurdles and how hard it is to make the right decision in life, to recognize love even when it's right in front of you. The story shows that love is a pure emotion that doesn't have to be logical, doesn't have to be only a reality for the rich and successful. A 21st century love story of 2 average Joes.And the movie does all this keeping a light mood and a friendly pace.I think the makeup and costume artists did a great job. Many a time, the leads are too "distinct", too perfect for the character they portray. But Amanda Peet looks crappy till she starts making a living as a professional photographer, Ashton Kutcher pulls off his careless boyish attitude like a breeze ending up a wreck.I have never seen such a mundane climax to a movie give such a beautiful feeling. In fact one wouldn't have wanted it any other way.I repeat, to me the story is so good that any shortcomings in direction or acting is just forgotten. A collector's item, no doubt and with the soundtrack of this movie, it is one of my favs. Thumbs up to Patrick Lynch.
