Love at First Sight is as generic as rom coms can be, reaffirming that something incredibly formulaic still works when executed with heart. It's a fairytale rom com for the modern age with a surprising amount of emotional heft in between all the charm.
The instant connection between the main characters can usually be an issue with these but Ben Hardy and Haley Lu Richardson are so good at having an affection for each other that feels genuine. Jameela Jamil as the narrator also really works and is utilised just the right amount.
Vanessa Caswill's direction really knows how to match the material. The balance between comedy and any serious moments is handled really well, it's so colourful and the needle drops are great. Arguably heavy handed but undeniably good at enhancing how emotional a scene can be.
