Somewhat like love, alot like lust.

Director: Nigel Cole
Starring: Amanda Peet, Ashton Kutcher, Molly Cheek
Rated: PG 13
Running Time: 107 Minutes

The movie begins with two strangers meeting at in a airport terminal waiting to board their plane to New York; Emily, a eccentric woman in her early twenties who has just broke up with her punk-rocker boyfriend, and Oliver, a geeky college graduate going home to visit his deaf brother. An unfortunate event of turbulence lands a cup of coffee all over Oliver. As he is in the onboard laboratory cleaning of the coffee, he is encountered by Emily and is soon to join the "mile high club". After landing in New York, the two's paths "incidentally" collide throughout the day. Still in the early hours of the day they are soon to end up in a bar together; where they make a bet that in six years Emily is to call Oliver's parents (because even if Oliver moves away, his parents will still be in the same place, hmm sounds like the way we all think of our parents, eh?) and see if he's become a rich, married business man successfully making his own way. From there, they part ways and go on to live their lives.

Although it is only three years before she makes that call after she is again bumped and on the rebound for a date for a New Years Eve party, happening that night. Giving his parents a call, she finds out that Oliver is now starting his own dot com business selling ..... diapers. But again, the next morning the two part ways and periodically continue their friendship this way during the six year running length of their bet, all the while falling slowly in love. With their continual on-again off-again relationship that is splattered with different bed partners, on both of their sides.

The film shows the worldly view of love as boldly as ever with stating that love is having someone in your bed whether they know you or not. A Lot Like Love is a gentle, lightly dramatic romantic comedy about two mismatched people who we in the audience know should be together, but events in the story keep them apart. The movie explores the subject of mistimed romance, as well as difficulties in commitment and the whole "you don't know what you had 'til you've lost it" thing.

I would give A lot Like love a 7 out of 10 stars, great cineamtography, great actors, and acting, just to much basing the storyline on sex and that who you have in your bed defines your worth.
