A new romance movie on Netflix has been dubbed an "instant classic", with others saying that it's the best they've seen in years. There's nothing quite like sitting down on the sofa for a relaxed evening in front of the TV, and streaming services have really spoiled us with options of what to watch. Everyone has their own favorite genre of movie, but when it's a little gloomy outside and you've got a blanket and the fire on, it's hard to resist the temptation of a film gushing with romance. There have been so many amazing romance and rom-com movies over the years and most people have a strong opinion on which is the best. Personally, anything that comes from the mind of Richard Curtis is an instant favorite of mine. But a new movie titled Love at First Sight has taken Netflix by storm and has received some pretty incredible feedback. Watch the trailer for Love at First Sight below: [[jwplayerwidget||https://cdn.jwplayer.com/videos/Ko9scYqf-YXhMkIor.mp4||Ko9scYqf]] The movie revolves around Hadley (Haley Lu Richardson) and Oliver (Ben Hardy) who meet at John F. Kennedy Airport and board a flight to London together, and they really hit it off. The pair appear to have the whirlwind romance that we all dream of, before exchanging numbers when they touch down in the UK. Then disaster strikes and Hadley loses Oliver's number, and presumably, the rest of the movie is about the two young lovers fighting to find each other again. Sure, it might sound like just any other cheesy movie - but it's probably guaranteed to leave you as a blubbing mess by the end. <img class="size-full wp-image-1263228889" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/09/GettyImages-1678328448.jpg" alt="Vanessa Caswill" width="1024" height="683" />[[imagecaption|| The movie is directed by Vanessa Caswill.

"For me, the best Rom-Com in years," one person <a href="https://twitter.com/gabdorian_/status/1702873410949574925" target="_blank" rel="noopener">penned</a>, with a second <a href="https://twitter.com/HoopeMarie/status/1703184115971899423" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adding</a>: "Decided to watch Love at First Sight and it’s an instant romance classic." A third person <a href="https://twitter.com/alilsagekun/status/1703237170457444482?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>: "Love at First Sight reminded me of really good rom com films from the 2000s, I loved it! I always love me some Ben Hardy and Haley Lu Richardson was charming and lovable. Well both were charming as hell and their chemistry was chef’s kiss." A fourth <a href="https://twitter.com/gayliddomark/status/1703522059714810283?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>: "love at first sight 10/10 best romcom ive seen in ages," while a fifth <a href="https://twitter.com/belovedhry/status/1703522120842514565?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">concluded</a>: "love at first sight was such a cute movie like this is what a real romcom should be." The movie also boasts a respectable score of 81% on <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/love_at_first_sight_2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rotten Tomatoes</a>, with movie critics eager to give their verdict. Adrian Horton from the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/sep/14/love-at-first-sight-netflix-movie-review-haley-lu-richardson-ben-hardy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guardian</a> gave it three out of five stars, writing: "For all its production flaws, Love at First Sight aims at the part of the human brain that longs for sweeping romance and a good meet-cute story. It misses plenty, but when it hits – a contained timeline, two capable leads shouldering all the charisma – it strikes the mark." Love at First Sight is available to watch on Netflix right now. <h6>Featured image credit: Bennett Raglin/Getty</h6>
