Although it is quite a different story, I was reminded of "When Harry Met Sally" while watching this movie. As it starts we are told it is 7 years earlier. Then, as the movie progresses we are told "3 years later", then "2 years later" etc until, presumably, the movie ends at the present. Emily (Amanda Peet) is being dropped off at the airport by her boyfriend, both of them feuding in an obvious break-up. Oliver (Ashton Kutcher) is watching this and immediately mesmerized by this young lady. Both are on their way to New York for family reasons, but both live in the L.A. area. This is their story, of their hit and miss relationship over those 7 years.
SPOILERS FOLLOW. On the flight, not even knowing each others' names, Emily joins Oliver in the plane's restroom for wild sex. He kinda likes her, she just sees him as a fling. They next have a chance encounter in NYC. They go to a bar. He explains that he is going to ride the wave of the future on the internet, gives her his parents' phone number, tells her to call in 6 years and bet $50 that he would be a big success. About 3 years after, New Year's eve, her boyfriend just moved out, she calls and finds him, they click, but he is moving to San Francisco for his internet diaper company. He gives her his camera as he goes, she an aspiring actress, turns to photography. In the end his internet company fails, they hook up again, it seems a lot like love.
