Ai zhi chu ti yan

I read the synopsis for this 2015 movie titled "Love, at First..." (aka Ai zhi chu ti yan") before sitting down to watch it. I hadn't even heard about the movie prior to picking it up. But the synopsis definitely sounded interesting enough, so of course I ended up sitting down to watch this 2015 movie from writers Fei Gao and Sunny Sun.

However, while the synopsis sounded interesting enough, I suppose the storyline worked out better on paper than it did in transition to the screen. Because I wasn't overly entertained by what I saw here. Sure, the movie is watchable, but it is by no means an outstanding or memorable movie.

It was mainly because of the flat and one-dimensional characters that the movie failed to deliver. The concept of the story was good, but the characters in the movie had zero appeal, and it didn't help much that the acting performances were mediocre and bland at best. So that didn't sell the movie.

Director Tao Hai just didn't manage to deliver a wholesome movie with "Love, at First..." and this is not a movie that I would recommend you rushing out to spend your time, money or effort on.

My rating of "Love, at First..." lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars. There are far better movies of a similar concept out there.
