La Probabilité statistique de l'amour au premier regard

This was a last minute choice while scrolling thru Netflix. Started the trailer and knew it was exactly what I wanted and we loved it. Clever story and such chemistry between the stars. The commentary by Jameela Jimal was great. Perfect compliment to this sweet story. It's a love story for sure but it's also a story about hope. You never know where life can take you. Taking chances can be scary but can take you to new and exciting places.

The contrast between the wedding and memorial service was like life, the highs and the lows.

Great acting, fun dialogue and really good music all in London at Christmastime.

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!

"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.

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 ;) )

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.
