What to Know

Critics Consensus

Love at First Sight gets a lot of mileage out of its quirky narrative gimmick and the chemistry of its appealing leads; although it's undermined somewhat by a lackluster script, this is still an above-average rom-com overall.

Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Some sweet moments, but overall I think Haley [Lu Richardson] can do more. Oct 4, 2023 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday Richardson almost makes it work. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Nell Minow RogerEbert.com Its lackluster script never gives us enough reason to believe in the couple’s rightness for each other or care about how they get to the happy ending. Rated: 2/4 Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Clotilde Chinnici Loud and Clear Reviews Love at First Sight is a charming rom-com that asks us what love – especially love at first sight – means: is it fate or is it statistics? Maybe for Hadley and Oliver, it’s both. Rated: 4/5 Sep 15, 2024 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) Wonderful chemistry between the leads and characters easy to root for Feb 28, 2024 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) It’s not a great rom com. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel. But Haley Lu Richardson and Ben Hardy are charming and there’s a great supporting performance from Sally Phillips. Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

D R Easy, christmassy, romantic watch! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Cianna Z This was such a cute movie, me and my husband enjoyed watching it together it reminded us of how we first started our love story at an airport<3 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Ava S It has a heart-wrenching story at its core with some charming quirks, but Love at First Sight strains to fully capture how the two leads genuinely fall in love. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review matthias s *Love at First Sight* is that rare rom-com where clichés turn into pure charm. From the moment Hadley (Haley Lu Richardson) and Oliver (Ben Hardy) meet, their chemistry sizzles with an undeniable spark. You can't help but root for them, even as the plot dances through well-worn romantic tropes. The narrator’s playful interjections add a whimsical touch, making the story feel like a delightful modern fairy tale. And that soundtrack—oh, it sweeps you into the romance, perfectly setting the mood for each tender moment. Sure, you’ve seen this story before, but never quite like this. The film's heartwarming ending brought a tear to my eye and left me with a smile that lasted long after the credits rolled. It’s a pleasant surprise that makes you believe in love at first sight. A solid 3.5 stars—because sometimes, a little magic is all you need. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Linda T A charming and lovely rom-com. The main characters come together through fate. Worth watching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Jerry R I don't know why I thought it was simply an average Rom Com. Certainly Haley Lu Richardson worked so hard to make it better. She is an excellent actress. My advice is it's not bad so if you have time watch it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
