Plot: Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet have a series of fleeting, moronic conversations over the span of 10 years or somethingWhy is this a contender for Best Movie. Ever?
Well it has Ashton Kutcher in it, for starters. That alone puts it above the normal pedigree of romantic comedies these days. It's also rare to find such a tightly woven and inventive story in this genre, as A Lot Like Love visits the central couple in various stages of their lives and doesn't seem contrived or manipulative or forced or overly reliant on coincidence at all! A slew of fantastic, impossibly funny supporting actors round out the stellar cast.
Best scene: Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet's intricately choreographed reenactment of two retarded people trying to act civilised in a Japanese restaurant. It contains no dialogue, and goes for about 18 minutes.
Oh, and Kutcher's serenading is worth the 90 minute running time alone.
