Love at First Sight is a delectable treat.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Netflix's latest romantic comedy, Love at First Sight, is the film adaptation of Jennifer E. Smith’s The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. It follows Hadley Sullivan , an American flying to London for her father's second wedding, and Oliver , a mathematician returning home for familial obligation.
The writing is cute enough to keep the audience engaged. There is always the sense that story could dig deeper, especially knowing the novel exists. Love at First Sight feels a tad bit too long for its own good since the narrative is short and fluffy. However, our delightful leads and an endearing ensemble cast make up for the story being stretched too thinly. The third-person perspective pulls on the brakes for this one, as we are limited in how well we get to know these characters.
There could've been more of a substantive story, but what we get has the right amount of emotional heft and joy. It cannot be overlooked how vital it is to have Richardson and Hardy as the leads, as they complement each other very well, filling in the details the screenplay neglects to include. Additionally, Sally Philips, Dexter Fletcher and Rob Delaney do well to flesh out the story's heart and its themes of first love, second chances, and acceptance of fate.
