Love at first sight

"Love at First Sight" is syrupy but just in the right way and it genuinely cares about love as it touches the heart strings without feeling cheap. You could be forgiven for being cynical about boy meets girl cliches but this film seems to have a genuine sheen that takes it somewhere else. Maybe it's the London setting.

Oliver meets Hadley when she misses her flight and then a story really begins by us being let in to the current complexities in their lives. The way it's handled is why I think this film is a little above the average rom-com.

That these films get to me a little is because all is not lost yet in my journey towards true curmudgeonhood and I can still relate to those early pangs of joy and excitement when that special someone looks your way.

Even if we are no longer young, the dizziness of longing is not readily or easily forgotten. For we can still remember those butterflies.
