A Lot Like Love is a lot like the general romantic movies that you might have watched. Only that it impressed me more than many. Perhaps it is one of those movies which is neither a chick flick nor a general romantic comedy. In fact, the characters very much appreciable and imaginable.
It's the story of Emily and Oliver, two very average immature young adults who meet each other for the first time in the lavatory of their flight to europe... while having sex with each other. The story tracks their lives and stories through the next several years. The movie manages to be funny while being emotional but without the cliches and "heard that" dialogues. After watching this and 'Calender Girls', Nigel Cole is sure to become a very respected figure in your mind
Final Verdict: If you are feeling romantic for some strange reason, or if the weather and the surroundings make you want to see something lite, without much thought, do watch this. You will probably watch it again sometime soon.
P.S.: The soundtrack is for keeps, definitely...
