Love at First Sight

It has been a while since I've watched a rom-com and this was a lovely way to get back into it. I was taken away by the chemistry between Haley Lu Richardson and Ben Hardy in this film. I absolutely loved them both and hope to see them on screen together again. Some great work done from casting to performance and soundtrack to deliver every emotion possbile to us and this film is indeed an emotional rollercoaster but very much worth it. Every tear, every laugh and everything in between.. so so so worth it.

While some might call it "cheesy," it's cheesy in a good way.

Give it a watch when you need a pick-me-up!

Just a sweet, well made rom com. I haven't seen anything like this in a while. I tend to watch a lot edgier films. But every once in a while it's a nice break to watch something that's a bit on the predictable side.

I thought the acting was above average. I especially like the fact the the female lead wasn't over the top beautiful. She was charming and had a girl-nextt-door quality. I'm a guy so I couldn't tell you if the male lead was handsome or not. But overall, I thought all the stars were quite good.

If you're in the mood for something that's fairly predictable, give this one a shot. You won't be disappointed.

"Love at First Sight" was much better than I was expecting given its title and status as a Netflix movie. Mostly because it embraced being a low-budget romance and focused heavily on the characters instead of wasting time on drama / bad 'action' scenes like most romance movies do.

However it is still held back by an over reliance on convoluted situations moving the plot forward (batteries dying at the last second, broken seat belts, etc), a weak soundtrack (the 'I Want to Dance with Somebody' remix was especially awful), and mediocre editing. The film also drifts a bit too deep into 'realism' at times (with uncharismatic dialogue and characters) and can get awkward. And it may just be me but Jameela Jamil's role as 'Providence' was reminiscent of Quilty in Lolita, which was a bit unsettling (the statistics dumps were also mind-numbing).

Overall, 'Love at First Sight' is a decent movie that could be been better if some more thought had been put into it.

This was a last minute choice while scrolling thru Netflix. Started the trailer and knew it was exactly what I wanted and we loved it. Clever story and such chemistry between the stars. The commentary by Jameela Jimal was great. Perfect compliment to this sweet story. It's a love story for sure but it's also a story about hope. You never know where life can take you. Taking chances can be scary but can take you to new and exciting places.

The contrast between the wedding and memorial service was like life, the highs and the lows.

Great acting, fun dialogue and really good music all in London at Christmastime.

There's no sort of twist in here you just go with the flow where you know the ending goal will be. The journey is what makes it good. It's simple, direct, and wholesome. No wishy washy drama. It has a quiet tone to it. It's like looking at a fire while huddled in your blanket and drinking your cocoa for the thousand time.

I was touched by a certain part of the plot since I can very much relate to it and I thought it was done quite well. The acting is believable. The song helped move it along.

The main characters are nice and sweet. Their lines were heavily dosed on cheesiness partnered with good chemistry and overall everything just screamed wholesome and fluffy...which really that's all I ask for when I'm strapped in my cheesy rom com mood.
