Films with Ashton Kutcher

1. The butterfly effect

• USA, 2004.
• Drama, thriller, fantasy.
• Duration: 113 minutes.
• IMDb: 7, 7.

Young Evan has memory problems. He cannot remember certain moments of his life. And exactly those during which some terrible things happened. When Evan grows up, he realizes that he can return to the past - exactly in the episodes of his "failures".

By the time this film was released, Ashton Kutcher had already played several leading roles and established himself as a regular hero of comedies. "Where is my car, dude?" even proved to be successful at the box office, but completely failed in ratings and reviews.

But "The Butterfly Effect" can be called the first serious work of the actor. Although the film caused a lot of controversy, it eventually became a cult.

2. Guess who?

• USA, 2005.
• Comedy, melodrama.
• Duration: 105 minutes.
• IMDb: 5, 9.

Percy Jones is responsible for the selection of suitors for his daughter. He inquired about her new boyfriend Simon and seemed to be satisfied: he has a good job and a good future. But the father did not take into account that the groom is white.

This film is primarily interesting for its unusual look at racial stereotypes - here black people are more susceptible to them. Ashton Kutcher suggested that the director add religious differences to the story, making his hero a Jew, but the idea was not approved.

And the biggest problem was the cabalistic bracelet, which Kutcher refused to take on the set. It had to be removed from the frames during processing.

3. More than love

• USA, 2005.
• Comedy, drama, melodrama.
• Duration: 107 minutes.
• IMDb: 6, 6.

Oliver and Emily first crossed paths on a plane flying from Los Angeles to New York. Then, for seven years, they periodically meet with each other, simultaneously changing jobs and partners. However, the heroes do not immediately understand that all this time they had a chance for true love.

Most of Kutcher's famous roles are lovers in standard romantic comedies. And here it remains only to choose the entourage and secondary actors. The duet with Amanda Peet in More Than Love is considered one of the most successful.

4. Lifeguard

• USA, 2006.
• Drama, adventure.
• Duration: 139 minutes.
• IMDb: 6, 9.

Veteran lifeguard swimmer Ben Randall (Kevin Costner) lost his entire crew in the crash. To forget about the past, he begins to train cadets. Among the future rescuers, Ben meets a budding but very stubborn swimming champion Jake Fisher (Ashton Kutcher). And in the future they will have to become partners.

In The Rescuer, the entire plot is built on the clash of the characters of the heroes of Costner and Kutcher. This makes the picture interesting. Moreover, in this film you can watch both actors in intense action scenes.

5. Once Upon a Time in Vegas

• USA, 2008.
• Comedy, melodrama.
• Duration: 99 minutes.
• IMDb: 6, 1.

One morning in Las Vegas, complete strangers wake up in the same bed. They try to remember the events of the previous night and find out that they got married. And then not very happy newlyweds win a huge amount. But since they want to divorce immediately, their winnings are frozen for six months so that they can save the marriage.

It would seem that this film has the same simple plot as many others. But the charm of the main characters and an excellent set of secondary actors allowed the film to pay off in the first week of release.

Of course, Kutcher sometimes lost in acting to more experienced partners on the set, but still perfectly fit into his typical image.

6. Personal

• USA, Germany, 2009.
• Drama.
• Duration: 106 minutes.
• IMDb: 6, 3.

Wrestler Walter quits professional sports and returns to his hometown, where his sister was brutally killed. He wants to find the culprit and take revenge. But in the courtroom, Walter meets a mature woman, Linda, a single mother of a deaf son, whose husband was killed in a bar by a drunken drinking companion. Passing through all the complexities of the judicial system, the heroes become closer to each other.

This picture did not appear in wide distribution, but appeared immediately on carriers, so the general public has not really heard about it. Kutcher plays here alongside such wonderful actresses as Michelle Pfeiffer and Katie Bates, whose talents help the film look emotional and sincere. But he himself sometimes overplayes.

7. More than sex

• USA, 2011.
• Comedy, melodrama.
• Duration: 108 minutes.
• IMDb: 6, 2.

Emma and Adam have known each other since the children's camp. After 15 years, they have sex for the first time, and from that moment on, they are connected only by the bed. But gradually, the couple realizes that affection and caring for each other can be much more important.

In fact, it would be more logical to translate the title of the film "No Obligations", but Russian distributors preferred to refer to Kutcher's previous successful work.

Interestingly, literally six months later, the movie "Friendship Sex" was released on the screens with an almost similar plot, where the main roles were played by Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis.

TV series with Ashton Kutcher

1. Show of the 70s

• USA, 1998.
• Sitcom.
• Duration: 8 seasons.
• IMDb: 8, 1.

The series tells about the awkward but sweet teenager Eric Forman. His father brings him up in severity, and his sister tries in every possible way to poison his life. Eric often gathers with friends in the basement, where they discuss the complexities of life and plans for the future.

Even before all the major film roles, Ashton Kutcher made his television debut as a funny friend of the protagonist Michael Kelso. His character is deaf and rather stupid. He also regularly becomes a generator of stupid ideas, because of which everyone gets into ridiculous situations.

2. Two and a half people

• USA, 2003.
• Sitcom.
• Duration: 12 seasons.
• IMDb: 7, 1.

After the eighth season of the famous TV series about two men raising a child, the authors of the project decided to part ways with the leading actor Charlie Sheen. His hero died, and in the ninth season, the audience was introduced to a new character - Walden Schmidt, played by Kutcher. He is an Internet billionaire who is deeply depressed due to his divorce from his wife.

With the new protagonist, "Two and a Half Men" lasted 4 more seasons on the screens. The ratings began to fall dramatically only when the second central character left the project.

3. Ranch

• USA, 2016.
• Comedy, drama.
• Duration: 3 seasons.
• IMDb: 7, 6.

Football player Colt Bennett, after a bright but short sports career, returns home to a small ranch. He plans to start a family business with his father and brother. But the difference in lifestyle greatly affects their relationship.

Serial roles of Kutcher are limited exclusively to comedic roles. And in this genre, he is in his place: the images of funny idiots are a success for the actor.
