From British
director Nigel Cole, whose sweet-hearted comedies
CALENDAR GIRLS and SAVING GRACE shared a similar
combination of humor and true emotion, A LOT LIKE LOVE
is the story of two friends who seem destined to love
each other--if they can ever realize that themselves.
Meeting on a flight from Los Angeles to New York, naive
Oliver (Ashton Kutcher) and tough Emily (Amanda Peet)
have sex in an airplane lavatory before learning each
other's names.
Despite this
intimate introduction, Emily is uninterested in getting
to know the guy she just picked up, telling Oliver
frankly that he's not her type. The two part ways, but
end up running into each other hours later in what
proves to be just the first of many semi-coincidental
romantic encounters. After spending a fun day together
in the city, Oliver gives Emily his home number and
tells her to call him in 6 years, once he's gotten his
life and career figured out. When an unforeseen breakup
leaves Emily dateless for New Year's Eve a few years
later, she calls Oliver and they meet again. In the
years that have passed since their first meeting, Emily
has taken up acting, Oliver has started an online
diaper-selling business, and both have gotten more
flattering haircuts. But Emily is disappointed to learn
that Oliver is moving to San Francisco for business the
next day. Over the course of a few years, Emily and
Oliver grow to depend on each other in times of crisis,
and develop a solid friendship. While each sporadic
encounter contains an undeniable spark, the timing never
seems to be right, with several bad relationships,
career transitions, and location changes getting in the
way. But will the pair realize their feelings for each
other and get together before it's too late?!! |
