First attracted by the poster of this film, "A lot like love" on net, I found this film & grabed it. A romance comedy, directed by Nigel Cole, who also directed "saving grace" & "calender girls", cast Amanda Peet (she is really cool) as Emily, & Ashton Kutcher (is just so cute) as Oliver.

The film's divided into a few parts, six years ago, three years ago, two years ago, present, after six months, to tell how Emily & Oliver first met at first sight, then came across with each other over & over again after sometime as a pair of passionate friends. they keep their passion in heart about each other & love grows stronger & stronger than last time they met. In the meantime they saw somebody else or they broke up with their lover but then they found each other again.However reality kept them apart again & again.

I really love the scenes when they act improvisedly, like the scene when they were in a chinese restaurant, competed about not to say a word, they spitted the water to each other & played around. & such as the scene while Oliver was talking, Emily was singing along the music on the radio, later Oliver joined Emily singing & they were both laughing. The scenes are just so natural, make you smile at heart.

I also enjoy the scenes when they take pictures around, we would sometimes take pictures of someone while he/she isn't noticing, he/she only knows that when the photos come out. or you would sometimes take pictures of someone while he/she's telling you not to. There're lots of naughty scenes that happen everyday .

Such a simple & heart-warming film, great entertainment and joy it brings about.

    What is romance? Romance is destroying friendship and establishing love...
