La Probabilité statistique de l'amour au premier regard

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.

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.

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 ;) )

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.

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.
