Starring: Val Kilmer, Mira Sorvino, Steven Weber
Running Time: 2h 10min
At First Sight is at first sight a romantic lead pairing so steamy you don't need to see it to imagine the heat between the two hot leads. And right off the bat the sexual dynamic is explored. Eventually that gives way to the friendship that forms between these two and how Sorvino aids Kilmer in regaining his sight through surgery. Based on a true story it is both compelling and romantic. However, many moments seem too movie of the week, too dipped in sentimental goo and melodrama. The leads are extremely photogenic, so much so that they don't seem to mix well together, getting in each other's way. Many interesting dilemmas are raised and tackled well, and if you can weed through the sappiness a good film awaits.
Grade: B-
