Goofs
Luther describes his van several times as a Sprinter, which is made by Mercedes. When the van is finally seen, it is clearly a Ford Transit van. When Hadley first meets Luther, he even says again "it's a Sprinter", yet the "Transit" name on the door of the van is prominently in the centre of the frame.

Quotes
[Last lines]
Narrator: Hadley Sullivan and Oliver Jones will kiss 12,872 times in their life together. They'll be married 58 years, have 1,462 arguments, and make love 5,787 times. Hadley will hold Oliver's hand when Tessa takes her last breath. Oliver will hold Hadley's when she takes hers. And they will both hold their daughter's hand the day she's born and marvel at her tiny fingers and how none of it would have been possible were it not for a missed flight, a broken seat belt, and a choice to love each other every day.

Crazy credits
After the spoken lines, "The Beginning..." shows up on the screen before the end credits.

"Love at First Sight" was much better than I was expecting given its title and status as a Netflix movie. Mostly because it embraced being a low-budget romance and focused heavily on the characters instead of wasting time on drama / bad 'action' scenes like most romance movies do.

However it is still held back by an over reliance on convoluted situations moving the plot forward (batteries dying at the last second, broken seat belts, etc), a weak soundtrack (the 'I Want to Dance with Somebody' remix was especially awful), and mediocre editing. The film also drifts a bit too deep into 'realism' at times (with uncharismatic dialogue and characters) and can get awkward. And it may just be me but Jameela Jamil's role as 'Providence' was reminiscent of Quilty in Lolita, which was a bit unsettling (the statistics dumps were also mind-numbing).

Overall, 'Love at First Sight' is a decent movie that could be been better if some more thought had been put into it.
