Movie #55 - A Lot Like Love

Title: A Lot Like Love

Director: Nigel Cole

Release Year: 2005

Plot Summary: On a flight from Los Angeles to New York, Oliver (Kutcher) and Emily (Peet) make a connection, only to decide that they are poorly suited to be together. Over the next seven years, however, they are reunited time and time again, they go from being acquaintances to close friends to ... lovers?

Thoughts: My major gripe with this movie is twofold - the time-jumps left me very confused as to when everything was happening (even though they were all just "X years later"); and I just don't logically see how these two managed to keep running into each other after so many years of not seeing one another. It definitely stretched the bounds of credibility more than a little.

That said... I actually enjoyed this movie, and I'm not even really sure why. It was kinda sweet, kinda ridiculous, but it was all in good fun. As much as it pains me to say this, I'm even starting to get over my rabid dislike for Ashton Kutcher.

Rating (0-10): 6.2

Recomendations: Rent it if you're in the mood for something kinda sappy. Don't kill yourself trying to see it in theaters, though.
