Greg Alba & Tara Erickson watch The Love Hypothesis (2026) for the first time in this full movie reaction and review of Prime Video’s Ali Hazelwood adaptation! Lili Reinhart stars as Olive Smith, a Ph.D. candidate whose impulsive kiss with intimidating professor Dr. Adam Carlsen, played by Tom Bateman, launches an increasingly complicated fake relationship. Greg & Tara react to the hallway kiss, Olive and Adam’s fake-dating rules, the campus carry, the hotel’s “only one bed” predicament, the steamy romance, and the dramatic conference involving Dr. Tom Benton.

Directed by Claire Scanlon (Set It Up, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and based on Ali Hazelwood’s bestselling BookTok novel, The Love Hypothesis stars Lili Reinhart as Olive Smith (Riverdale, Hustlers), Tom Bateman as Dr. Adam Carlsen (Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile), Rachel Marsh as Anh Pham (Fallout, Adults), Jaboukie Young-White as Malcolm Browne (Only Murders in the Building, Strange World), Nicholas Duvernay as Jeremy Langley (The White Lotus, Bel-Air), and Arty Froushan as Dr. Tom Benton (Carnival Row, House of the Dragon).
Greg & Tara discuss Olive and Adam’s chemistry, the fake-dating and enemies-to-lovers tropes, the adaptation’s BookTok appeal, and the story’s famous origins as Reylo-inspired fanfiction—made even wilder by Adam actor Tom Bateman being married to Star Wars’ Rey herself, Daisy Ridley.
