Two strangers meet on a flight from California to New York. The girl recently went through a break-up and seduces the guy on the airplane; they spend the next few days together before going their separate ways. Over the next several years, circumstances keep putting them in one another's paths and they become close friends and confidantes. Both are convinced that they are wrong for each other on a romantic level, but as the years go on, they begin to wonder if they have allowed a great opportunity to pass then by.
This is a feel-good, fun, romantic comedy. Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet have great chemistry and they do a good job playing themselves from 20-something's to 30-something's. The awkwardness of their first meeting through the building of their relationship in subsequent trysts is completely believable. While the ending is predictable, it's meant to be predictable and there are some twists thrown in to make it interesting. I think Ashton Kutcher has made some good choices in his recent movie selection and this is just another example of a quality picture.
Rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
