The Love Hypothesis review – hit BookTok romcom lacks spark on screen

Riverdale’s Lili Reinhart does some heavy lifting in Ali Hazelwood’s hit book, but it’s not quite enough

Fans of the dearly departed Riverdale – or, moreover, admirers of all the batshit things the CW comic soap could make its bright young actors say with straining sincerity – have long rooted for Lili Reinhart. The Betty Cooper of yore was the best of that talented crop (Charles Melton and Camila Mendes among them) at rising above her subpar surroundings, her impressively expressive eyes able to sell the unsellable with complete conviction. She is the type of helplessly endearing performer suited to roles of naivety who masks surprise steeliness, as in her notable turn in 2019’s Hustlers or, better yet, romcoms, though there remains a dearth of worthy material. (A dual role in 2022’s Look Both Ways, a Netflix homage to Sliding Doors, didn’t cut it.)

This movie just committed a ‘cardinal sin’, and it’s going to divide viewers

This may sound like a paradox, but The Love Hypothesis movie is actually better than Ali Hazelwood’s book because it commits what some readers would consider a cardinal sin: it doesn’t stay true to the novel.

I spent the first 20 minutes of the film cringing through a slightly awkward voice-over that matched the book almost word for word and feared the rest of the film would do the same.

It’s a classic fake-dating rom-com, and I ate it UP. Prime Video

Having read the book, I knew I was in for a lot of second-hand embarrassment if that was the case.
