Love At First Sight
Love At First Sight has a title that portrays it as being predictable, on the nose and cheesy, and it is all these and more.
This romcom based on a novel (The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight) sees its lead characters, Hadley Sullivan and Oliver Jones, as they fall in love on a flight from New York to London.
The plot of this movie is new or fresh, but the journey is what makes it worthwhile; there's also a change in narration that happens midway that was unexpected but done well. Although it relies on happenstance for some scenarios, this flick has a good dose of heart and romance.
The cast gives fitting performances and the chemistry between the leads is very palpable. Jameela Jamil as Providence/the narrator is a subjective hit or miss.
I expected this to be an eyeroll-inducing romcom, and it being a Netflix production didn't help me raise my hopes for it, but I was thoroughly surprised.
7.5/10.
