Who doesn’t love a meet-cute?
The Big Picture Netflix doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to high-quality romantic comedies. Most of their original rom-coms range from average to famously bad like He's All That or the Kissing Booth trilogy, and you'd have to go back to 2018 for some of their best, Set It Up and To All the Boys I've Loved Before.
What Is 'Love at First Sight' About? Based on the young adult romance novel The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith, Love at First Sight follows 20-year-old NYU student Hadley and 22-year-old Yale student Oliver , who have a meet-cute at JFK airport after Hadley misses her flight to London. The two hit it off when Oliver offers Hadley his phone charger, and they chat and have dinner together before going their separate ways as they board the plane.
Though Hadley and Oliver's instant connection and budding relationship is the core of Love at First Sight, they spend much of the runtime apart dealing with their own familial issues. Hadley travels to London to attend her father Andrew's wedding — his second marriage to a woman she's never met before — and when she sees Oliver carrying a garment bag, she assumes he's going to a wedding as well.
How Do Hadley and Oliver's Parents Impact Their Views on Love? Hadley and Oliver's views on love and relationships are colored by their respective parents' marriages. Witnessing her parents' divorce as an adult, Hadley is more jaded, having grown apart from her dad since his move to England and engagement to another woman, still reckoning with the fact that her parents will never get back together.
Richardson and Hardy have sweet, playful chemistry and flirty banter that make Hadley and Oliver's relationship easy to root for after they're abruptly separated once they land in London. After their initial connection, the characters are developed further as individuals while they go their separate ways, reuniting once and for all as better versions of themselves.
