La Probabilité statistique de l'amour au premier regard

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.

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 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.

It has been a while since I've watched a rom-com and this was a lovely way to get back into it. I was taken away by the chemistry between Haley Lu Richardson and Ben Hardy in this film. I absolutely loved them both and hope to see them on screen together again. Some great work done from casting to performance and soundtrack to deliver every emotion possbile to us and this film is indeed an emotional rollercoaster but very much worth it. Every tear, every laugh and everything in between.. so so so worth it.

While some might call it "cheesy," it's cheesy in a good way.

Give it a watch when you need a pick-me-up!
