Amor à Segunda Vista

Raphael has everything a man needs for a happy life - a successful writing career, plenty of fans and a devoted wife Olivia. He doesn't seem to understand the sacrifices Olivia has made to help him build his career, putting aside her own ambition... until one day Raphael wakes up in a world where he is a humble school teacher and Olivia is a world famous concert pianist. More than this - she doesn't even know who Raphael is. Will they be able to reunite? And at what cost?

The "What if" premise is the signature style of a French romantic comedy. LOVE AT SECOND SIGHT, however, examines an interesting dilemma - does one of the spouses always have to sacrifice his or her own ambition for the other to succeed? And can the cycle be broken?

Apart from this interesting premise the film doesn't have much in store. Action does not propel the protagonists' relationship forward and there's a lack of quirky hilarious and engaging situations that make romantic comedy really work.

Both Francois Civil and Josephine Japy look great in front of the camera but lack chemistry. They work better as best friends than future lovers. They are also too beautiful to be believable as an average couple.

LOVE AT SECOND SIGHT is something you have seen many times before, and there's little to praise beyond its high concept premise. As a piece of entertainment, however, it works rather well and never feels dull. If you love romantic comedies with a twist it may be two hours well spent.

A nice and fresh romance comedy, in her French ways - which is a good change from the standard Hollywood one!

As I'm writing this review, my eyes are wet and my heart is numb. We don't often get to see a movie that touches your soul and makes you wonder the things you take for granted and what actually matters at the end. A beautifully written film with equally beautiful performance and direction. If you ever feel low or happy too just watch this film.

It has everything a perfect rom-com needs and it workd for it. Yes, there are clishes, and the plot is not sooo original, but it's captivating, believeable and pretty good. The actors are good-looking and the chemistry is fine. And it has Paris background as a bonus.

If you're in need of a light romance movie for an evening then this one is just what you need!

The movie was an absolute masterpiece. The story, peotry, plot, character progression, personalities, acting was breathtaking. I would recommend that movie day and night. The character development and delinquency shift was just wholesome. Followed by the progression of love and ego abandonment.The ending was phenomenal and real credits go to the scriptwriter and director for executing it flawlessly.
