Love Is in the Air

William (Joshua Sasse) arrives to check the finances of a flying freight company. They only have one seaplane and Dana (Delta Goodrem) is the pilot. She flies around some of the remote communities of Australia. What nobody at the company knows is that William's only job is to shut them down.

The first meeting is wrong. He's the one who has to fall head over heels for her. Instead, she's the one checking him out. It's backwards. Eventually, the movie gets there. He has to be given a reason to not shut down the company. She's the classic shut-off single gal with relationship issues. On the plus side, the scenery is amazing. Whenever the movie is inside a car or the plane, the outside vista feels fake. The two leads are fine. I've never heard of Delta Goodrem. Apparently, she's a big Australian singing star. All in all, this Netflix romance is average at best.

"Love is in the Air" appears to be a romantic film featuring Delta Goodrem as a seaplane pilot in a cheesy and saccharine love story. The movie seems to rely heavily on clichés and contrived situations, making it a challenging watch for most audiences. The central romance between Dana and William, played by Joshua Sasse, doesn't seem to have much chemistry, and the plot's predictability is a drawback. The film's dialogue and performances also come across as forced at times. While the movie aims for an uplifting experience, it appears to fall short of delivering genuine emotions. Delta Goodrem's performance, while not outstanding, manages to deliver some of the film's corny lines with a straight face. Overall, it seems like a film primarily suited for die-hard fans of the Sydney-born performer rather than a broader audience.

At least this film looks good. In fact it looks very good and serves as a wonderful tourist promo for Queensland and the Whitsunday's. Even the brief scenes of London look very inviting, though the view out of the office window looks ominously like Brisbane.

This is almost enough to cover a very basic plot line and a script which could have been created by AI. That said, it is all very pleasant and innocent and the sort of film your Granny would approve of.

Aeroplane buffs are already having a ball identifying inaccuracies within the cockpit, but at least this plane does not morph into another type of airliner altogether as is a common practice in other movies.

I loved the scenery and the story is not too bad. I understand there may be inconsistencies on the technical aspects of the piloting job but I don't think the movie warrants the lowest rating. The acting is ok, the filmography was also on point and the story is the typical adversaries turned into lovers. It's nice enough. It even makes me want to book a trip to Australia when I'm able to save enough for it ;). If you are looking for a nice, light movie, and romantic movies are your thing, this one's nice enough. And the story is fine, as romcoms go. I would like to visit the li actions in which the movie was filmed. Really, gorgeous places.

Having seen hundreds of romance movies, I feel qualified to comment when I see one that stands out. I liked the central couple and found their chemistry genuine even if it may have been amplified for her because of her limited dating pool and more believable for him because he is looking for passion in his life and is naturally drawn to hers. As far as the other elements needed for success, they are all present: Interesting and humorous supporting characters - check; parents whose actions are affecting the plot - check; and external circumstances that create challenges and are also interesting - check. Surprising bonuses: incredible scenery in a part of the world not often seen in U. S. romance movies and exciting flying sequences. One downside: business factors are not realistic, but who wants to think about work during a romance move.? Give this one a look if you are in the mood for romance.
