Die statistische Wahrscheinlichkeit von Liebe auf den ersten Blick

I dislike rom coms for some very good reasons. There is rarely good chemistry between leads, there's always a childish huff involved, there's usually a cheating or suspected cheating that goes on, they're not really romantic.

This story is boy meets girl, they fall in love, fate parts them but they manage to get back together.

It's a beautiful, fabulous story, a true romance. I actually believed in every character on screen and could relate to many of the scenes. All rom coms should follow this path from now on.

The acting from everyone is sublime (Haley Lu Richardson always is), the dialogue is never cheesy, the photography is beautiful and the direction smooth and brilliantly paced. The narrator constantly popping up is a great idea and Jamil makes this work so well.

This is one of the best rom coms ever made, I love it.

I am actually super surprised by how good this movie was. It was a very good rom com from Netflix, I went in thinking it would be very cheesy. It was really good with some very sad parts. Haley Lu was really good in the movie and had really great chemistry with the male lead which made it a very believable story for me. The story line was overall very cute but keep those tissues nearby I know I had to for sure! Overall, it's a life I wish I was living (fate love story with a British man). It will be a movie I will keep in my roster when I'm looking for a good rom com on a rainy day! If you made it this far, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I didn't expect it to be good and thought it would be like another cheesy rom-com but NO, it was creatively cute.

The plot is both predictable and unexpected at the same time. The story telling is creative. There's something about this movie that makes it really heart-warming (and cute).

The chemistry is on point. Great acting.

A bit unrealistic. Because I don't know... Will people really fall in love that quick?

And we know quite a lot about Oliver but I still don't know much about Hadley. Want to know more about her except the story of the divorce and the wedding.

Still, it was entertaining. But do people really fall in love that fast? After someone lets you borrow their charger, chats a bit and just helps you out on the plane, I think it's more natural to just be friends...(But if that's the case, we don't have the movie so I'm not complaining ;) )

"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.

And that's how you write a romantic movie that's different from all the predictable ones full of useless drama... I mean, the end is of course obvious but it does not make it less enjoyable.

It's a cute romantic movie, definitely not a waste of time, with well written dialogues, and the two protagonist gosh... how could you not fall in love with them, they're just too sweet! The chemistry between them was undeniable!

Haley Lu Richardson is such a good and underrated actress, she should have more credit.

A really nice and sweet movie that doesn't only focused on the romantic plot line between the main characters but also engaged through the other plots of the families of the protagonists.
