That's weird. I'm sure that When Harry Met Sally had been made already. And didn't it used to be funny?

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 5, 2005

Although not as scathingly funny as the Ryan-Crystal classic, director Nigel Cole offers an engaging romance infused with the warmth and optimism of his previous films Calendar Girls and Saving Grace.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 21, 2005

It is an utterly irresistible collection of amorous vignettes, held together by Nigel Cole's (Calendar Girls) confident direction and the ferociously captivating charms of actress Peet.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 30, 2005

... the whole production is simply as mediocre and half-baked as Hollywood gets.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 30, 2005

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.

The only reason I was rooting for them to get together was that than they would both be off the market.

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.

A Lot Like Love ... is a cute movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 22, 2005

A Lot Like Love is a lot like many other movies of the rom-com ilk, in that we are left with absolutely no doubt about the outcome.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 22, 2005

Kutcher is a master of the satisfied grin. It's one of his two expressions, the other being the goofy, ear-to-ear smile, which often follows or precedes his satisfied grin.

It's a lot like a waste of time.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 22, 2005

Too often, the script collapses into what feels like improvisation, in which the characters find a kind of common ground: Infantilism.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 22, 2005

A Lot Like Love is about fairly average if absurdly cute people who develop a relationship over a period of seven years. Sound exciting? You're right, it's not.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Apr 22, 2005

A throwaway date movie, but with enough quirky touches to almost make it worth recommending.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 22, 2005

It's a lot like a romantic comedy, except that it's not remotely romantic or even mildly funny.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 22, 2005

In not one but two scenes we are asked to laugh because the actors have inserted objects into their nostrils. Request denied.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 22, 2005

The producers of this stillborn romantic comedy are betting there are many more college girls than there are testy movie critics, and they're doubtless correct.

| Apr 22, 2005

Nothing Whatsoever Like Love and By the Way, Nothing Whatsoever Like a Good Movie, Either.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Apr 21, 2005

Love's life is in its leads and some fairly crisp pacing.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 21, 2005
