Critics' Reviews

75
USA Today: Mike Clark
The chuckles here come from the leads' interplay, crying on each other's shoulders and cheering each other up.Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
Here's a pleasant little romantic comedy that doesn't try too hard and has the virtue of doing a few things differently.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Carrie Rickey
Though I liked Love's unhurried pace and oddball digressions, its obligatory romantic-comedy resolution seemed too schematic for what had preceded it.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Carina Chocano
If the script isn't as well-structured as it could be, the dialogue is refreshingly natural. Kutcher is surprisingly well cast as the awkward, somewhat dorky Oliver, and Peet is charming and charismatic without being cloying or artificial.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Manohla Dargis
Isn't half bad and every so often is pretty good, filled with real sentiment, worked-through performances and a story textured enough to sometimes feel a lot like life.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Ben Kenigsberg
Interjections from perennial second bananas Kathryn Hahn (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) and Kal Penn (winning even when not conjuring vivified bags of pot) generate the only sparks.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
A Lot Like Love is a lot like a romantic comedy, except that all that's keeping these two kids apart is the trivially insufferable movie they're in.Read Full Review »

Salon.com: 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 »

ROLLING STONE: 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 »

Washington Post: Michael O'Sullivan
It starts with a bang and ends with a whimper.Read Full Review »
