La Probabilité statistique de l'amour au premier regard

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.

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.

2023 Netflix movie based on Jennifer E. Smith's book The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight.

Director Vanessa Caswill once again tackles a very simple scenario and once again does a watchable job.

I always say that it is not a problem if a work contains clichés, the real problem is that the clichés are not used correctly.

And Vanessa Caswill is quite successful in this regard.

Yes, the film does not offer you anything that you do not know or have not seen before, but it presents this simple and cliché subject in a very watchable way.

And with great songs.

I haven't watched a movie with Shazam in a long time. I missed this feeling.

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.
