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

Riverdale’s Lili Reinhart does some heavy lifting in adaptation of 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.)

The Love Hypothesis and the rise of romance adaptations: how readers became part of the marketing machine

By the time a romance book reaches the screen, readers have often already built a whole world around it: analysing it, recommending it and imagining its characters. The Love Hypothesis, a romantic comedy set in the world of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) academia, is one such example.

The bestselling 2021 novel by neuroscientist-turned-author Ali Hazelwood revolves around biology PhD student Olive Smith and Dr Adam Carlsen, a young professor in the same department. The pair pretend to be in a relationship to convince Olive’s friend and Adam’s boss that their love life is on track. As they are forced to spend more time together, the lines between fake and real get increasingly blurred.

The Book Started as a Steamy Star Wars Fanfic. Now the Movie Adaptation Is Here. Uh-oh.

In Sex Reviews, writers offer a sober critical assessment of the sex scenes in new films and television series. This installment contains spoilers for The Love Hypothesis. 

While the covers of Ali Hazelwood’s bestselling novels blend right in with other contemporary millennial romance fare, what’s between the pages is distinctive for the genre. Hazelwood, a former neuroscience professor, favors a combination of STEM milieus (two books set at Stanford, others at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, MIT, and an Arctic research center) and STEM heroes and heroines (every person in a Hazelwood book is an engineer, a scientist, or a game developer) with what can sometimes be extremely detailed and extensive sex scenes. Her Not in Love series and her campus romance Deep End can barely be read in public, so flushed will your face become. The Hazelwood fantasy is something that can only be described as “best-case Bay Area”: nerds with broad chests who, when tested, display an unexpected ability to apply themselves … both in and out of bed.

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.
