This romantic fantasy plays like an MTV-inspired daydream-come-true as 20-something's Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet spend the better part of a decade having flirtatious encounters and one night stands until they chance upon a perfectly obvious Hollywood ending. Anchored by the Rock of the '90s nostalgia of Third Eye Blind's buoyant "Semi-Charmed Life", Smash Mouth (the resilient, '60s psych-pop throwback "Walkin' On the Sun"), Eagle-Eye Cherry's "Save Tonight" and the unlikely jubilance of The Cure's "Mint Car," it’s a soundtrack whose disposition is by turns sunny and bittersweet. Ray LaMontagne's soulful "Trouble," the spare R&B shadings of Groove Armada's "Hands of Time," and Jet's moping alt.pop give the collection some needed dynamics and resonance, but they aren't much more than passing clouds ready to be split wide by the infectious power pop of Travis' "Know Nothing," Aqualung's savory "Brighter Than Sunshine" and Butch Walker's urgent "Maybe It's Just Me." --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews

Mediocre movie, great soundtrack!
This movie has been done before (it's a bit along the lines of "When Harry Met Sally"), but is cute--the two main characters meet, then over the span of I believe it's ten years, they meet up every once in a while and spend time together, only to return to their separate lives.
An okay movie, but nothing life-changing.
Not the same can be said for the soundtrack. Though the first three songs are clearly Top 40 (is there such a thing anymore?) and have been overplayed since their respective releases, the remainder of the tunes definitely hold their own. Even if the lyrics aren't so original, the melody of Aqualung's "Brighter Than Sunshine" grabs you. Groove Armada's "Hands of Time" is another notable tune, as is Jet's "Look What You've Done", and yes, even the 1976 hit for Chicago, "If You Leave Me Now", which has interestingly found new life in movies of late ("Three Kings").

something's missing!
I love the movie!!!! i can watch every day and still laughing!! i just wanted to hear Ashton singing "I'll be there for you". so sad. but the other songs are very good. to remember the movie and laugh again.

Love IT!!!
