A Lot Like Love

I love to be surprised and this was what A LOT LIKE LOVE provided for me. A wonderful little romance film is uplifted by excellent performances from Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet who showcase acting skills here I honestly was not aware either had. Mind you, I could watch Peet in a two hour toothpaste commercial and be entertained but to see her demonstrate the range and subtleness here was a true eye opener. As far as the story, it's not anything special in particular but there are moments that truly touch the spirit and I find this rare in these kind of vehicles. Perfect first date movie or even for those wishing to once again examine the motivators of attraction.
