Critic Reviews

Dallas Observer Melissa Levine

An entertainment success, a triple threat of fresh writing, inspired directing, and, yes, good acting. Read full review

Chris Kaltenbach

While it's certainly too derivative to be a great movie, it's too goodhearted and modest in its aspirations to be denied. Read full review

Rene Rodriguez

Survives its surface annoyances because Lynch's script also has ambition, heart and something to say other than love conquers all. Read full review

Stephanie Zacharek

The big screen doesn't seem to like Kutcher much, or even to GET him, whatever there is to get. Read full review

Peter Travers

As the film stopped counting back in years and switched to months, I panicked that it would slog on to weeks, hours and seconds before reaching its inevitable end. I was wrong. About A Lot Like Love leaving you wanting a lot less, I am right. Read full review

Empire Liz Beardsworth

Peet works hard with the slight material and there are some cutely kooky moments. Read full review

Roger Ebert

To call A Lot like Love dead in the water is an insult to water. Read full review

Romantic comedy with mostly well-written dialogue interspersed with a few lines that makes one cringe. Amanda Peet is deliciously authentic as the both bubbly and headstrong deubtante-in-denial. Good underlying theme: Long-term relationships are not for the faint-hearted.

I actually thought it was really good-but not great. Predictable though it was, it still managed to be charming and Peet and Kutcher had chemistry. However, at the beginning Peet has so much life and sparkle to her which she seems to have lost the next time they meet, along with her I actually thought it was really good-but not great.

I dont like romantic comedies and sh1t but this was actually pretty good lightweight funny movie. The actors were both very charismatic likable sexy, they saved the movie. 7.1/10. Also the second part is not so romantic anymore ...

These post-1998 witty romantic comedies seem to follow a familiar ploy in hopes to stand out in a sea of sameness. That ploy is a simple attempt identifying with young people that think this sort of deliberately obtuse wit exists in real life and is plausible to apply their own lives. The These post-1998 witty romantic comedies seem to follow a familiar ploy in hopes to stand out in a sea of sameness. That ploy is a simple attempt identifying with young people that think this sort of deliberately obtuse wit exists in real life and is plausible to apply their own lives. The reality is that such phantasmagorical wit-ridden romance doesn't define a damn thing about young people in society however much those who identify with this prototypical movie would like to think so. I call this The Garden State Complex, and in addition to sounding like a nice Emo band, this complex seems to be quite widspread.… Expand

We all know where this movie will go from start to beginning and there are some cool ideas in the movie that are not executed well. If you want to see how a photographer's work is captured in a love story and moments of realizations (watch Shopgirl). It's your typical movie using We all know where this movie will go from start to beginning and there are some cool ideas in the movie that are not executed well. If you want to see how a photographer's work is captured in a love story and moments of realizations (watch Shopgirl). It's your typical movie using montages with your popular ballads of the year. Ashton Kutcher can't translate into a descent actor and Pete carries the movie but isn't always convincing. There is no heart or charm in the movie, just cheap scenes with crap music.… Expand
