Romance
The film tells the stories of a mother and her three daughters about their own struggles in love. All the women had achieved progress in some way except in love. However, each of them found their own Mr.Right in the end. The woman named Mary (acted by XuFan) was a widow and came back to China from abroad. She was a generous woman and she learnt to cook with the help of a driver called Uncle Hua. After being together for a period of time, they fell in love. The eldest daughter, Rose (acted by René Liu), was an astronaut, who was very independent and capable, but alse a little bit competitive. In order to have the chance to go into space, she trained hard, only to find that she had to work with her ex: Michael (acted by Aaron Kwok). They stayed in the small capsule, working, eating and sleeping in the same place. Many things happened to them, making the fire of their love burn again.

As domestic summer date movies ("A Good Old Fashioned Orgy"; "The Change-Up") compete for snark and gross-out points, it's a relief to know that the traditional frothy rom-com - sweet-hearted and hopeful, without profanity or sexual gymnastics - is not dead. Outsourced? That's another story.
Los Angeles Times
Though it doesn't exactly have pretensions toward the rhythms of real life, the film does nail the breezy movie feeling of a buffed-and-polished romantic comedy.
Washington Post
Silly and slapsticky, Love in Space is too busy devising absurd set pieces to develop the characters or make their mutual attractions plausible. That makes it much like recent Hollywood rom-coms. It seems Chinese filmmakers have learned more than just a few phrases from American movies.
New York Post by V.A. Musetto
Love in Space is just what movie fans have been waiting for: a romantic comedy from Communist China.
Slant Magazine by Bill Weber
The weightlessness that dominates the film is no special effect.
