Rueben's Ramblings

The new movie Love at First Sight will debut online on Netflix on September 15.

A plucky American who’s a freak for literature and poetry, Hadley’s (Haley Lu Richardson) on her way from NYC to London to see her father get remarried — but it’s too late. She’s missed her flight. Lucky for her, there’s a seat on the next plane… for way more money. As Hadley commits to credit card debt and waits to board, she meets Oliver (Ben Hardy), a data-driven statistics major from the UK.

There’s an immediate connection between the two. From that moment on, fate keeps bringing them together: They end up on the same flight, in different rows — until Oliver’s faulty seat belt causes him to move into the only other seat on the plane, next to Hadley. The plane ride turns into one long date — they enjoy in-flight meals and a movie together, but it’s over too soon. As they land in London, Hadley and Oliver lose track of each other in customs before they even exchange numbers. What are the chances they’ll ever meet again?

The cast also stars Rob Delaney, Sally Phillips and Jameela Jamil.
