Love Is in the Air

I'm fairly certain nobody involved in "Love is in the Air" intended to make great cinema. Even the title shows a lack of effort (the movie involves airplanes-wink,wink). That being said, this is a formulatic romance with the noble woman business owner at odds with the (initially) rotten corporate tool of a man. Through a series of trials and tribulations, the corporate jerk becomes a decent human being and the pair fall in love. There is the traditional third act drama where the lass discovers the lad's original evil plan and they break up only to reconcile five minutes later. If you threw some tinsel and snow at this production it would easily be a Hallmark Christmas movie. There is absolutely nothing new or original here.

That being said, the scenery is beautifully shot and the acting was not terrible. I feel this movie was intended to be a vehicle for the attractive leading lady who is a well-known singer in Australia (where the film was shot). This is an inoffensive little picture that isn't particularly good or particularly bad. If you're into improbable romantic comedies you could find it enjoyable.

I'm a fan of Delta and a huge fan of Australian movies - but this did not work well at all.

It's lolly water iced with cliches and a predictable plot.

I do not understand why these kinds of movies are made. I understand that no-one forces us to watch - so, there's no need to do so then be all negative about it - but, like I said, I'm a Delta fan and a huge Australian movie fan - so, you just want to give it a shot.

But when the writing lacks depth, edge and light and dark, it ends up being little more than a relatively polished episode of Neighbours or Home and Away.

And , unfortunately then, the acting, directing, even the music, flops to the same low levels. Pity.

I loved the scenery and the story is not too bad. I understand there may be inconsistencies on the technical aspects of the piloting job but I don't think the movie warrants the lowest rating. The acting is ok, the filmography was also on point and the story is the typical adversaries turned into lovers. It's nice enough. It even makes me want to book a trip to Australia when I'm able to save enough for it ;). If you are looking for a nice, light movie, and romantic movies are your thing, this one's nice enough. And the story is fine, as romcoms go. I would like to visit the li actions in which the movie was filmed. Really, gorgeous places.

This was terrible! The father and the mechanic were almost realistic but 'Dana' the pilot, with the makeup, the facial expressions and the lack of serious acting ability made me hide behind a pillow. Her role appeared to be that of a spoilt child despite the story depicting her to be from humble beginnings. William was good to look at but he seemed star struck or something that prevented him really getting into his role...movie was so cliche and unrealistic due to the acting and lack of fine tuning smaller details. The scenery was nice but hard to take serious when the plane was depicted flying all around the skies but they forgot to add fuel. It had the bones to be good... tropical Queensland scenery, true sense of community in remote areas, particularly during major weather events that devastate and a bit of romance thrown in. Less makeup, a bit of dirt and grease and a more 'real' character could have made a tonne of difference.

I don't think we're meant to take this movie seriously. Because it seems that the filmmakers didn't even take it seriously.

The good bits: Stunningly beautiful sceneries; attractive easy on the eye leads; supporting actors' performance.

The no good bits: the script is not very convincing, lacks substance; both female and male leads' unrealistic makeup just doesn't seem truthful to the characters; lead performances are cringy at times; pacing seems a bit off especially towards the end.

Overall it's a very forgettable movie. I think I'll only remember the beautiful blue sea and the unnecessarily long false eyelashes.
