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.

Some sweet moments, but overall I think Haley [Lu Richardson] can do more.

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.

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.

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.

I’m probably not the target audience for the movie. It was cute. I really liked Haley Lu Richardson in white lotus, she’s comes across as a natural actress without overdoing it. And of course rob Delaney is always great.

A current favorite. Multiple watchings. Very appealing young couple. Snappy dialog. I believed their relationship. First watches I wasnt into the two subplots but on repeated watchings, Im good with both families story. Both sad but nice too. On my list of watch every so often- I highly recommend it.
