The leads play two twenty-something strangers who keep running into each other in airports across the globe and all over London. But was it just a missed connection, or will fate eventually intervene and have these two journey back to each other? And if that hasn't convinced you yet to tune in to the flick when it hits Netflix, the fact that Jameela Jamil narrates it is another welcome bonus. So, if you want to make the most of the one-way ticket to this film, read ahead to find out more...
What is the plot of Love At First Sight?
The official synopsis from Netflix reads: "On their flight from New York to London, Hadley and Oliver fall in love with each other. However, they lose each other at customs, and the possibility of ever meeting each other again seems improbable, but destiny may have a way of changing the odds."
For further context, Haley plays a literature- and poetry-loving American who is on her way to London to see her father get married. However, she misses her flight and is forced to board the next one, where she is seated next to Oliver – a statistics student from the UK – and the pair instantly forge a close bond.
However, when they land in London, they lose each other at customs and cannot exchange numbers. Will there be a chance they'll meet again? Honestly, it sounds like a sweet, sugary and simple plot, which is sometimes all we need to forget our troubles IRL.
Hint: this film has some serious 13 Going on 30 vibes.
