Viewer beware the swathe of positive reviews on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes that spontaneously came out when this film was released. This is truly awful. The plot is dire, the acting dreadful - there is nothing to recommend it. The film was produced in cooperation with the Turkish Ministry of Tourism and Turkish Airlines and is a shameless video postcard for the country. I got mugged by the positive reviews and we selected this as a family film to watch - we couldn't even finish it. I only hope this warning will save other people their time and money!

My wife Coco and I enjoyed the film. Just go on a holiday and find love.

I purchased this movie to watch with my wife. I really like Romantic Comedies (more than she does in fact) and from the reviews and a quick review of the premise, I thought this would be a great movie choice for us. (At the time of this writing, it's rated 9.2/10 on IMDb.) And considering it cost $5.99 to rent and $9.99 to buy on Amazon, I thought, "It looks cute, we'll probably watch it again at some point, I should buy it!" My wife cautioned against the move. (Lesson to be learned: Trust your bride's intuition!)

I feel I've been duped. The reviews must be from friends and family of the filmmaker because this film is bad... I mean BAAAAAADDDDDDD.

1. The writing is bad. 2. The acting is beyond bad. 3. The story arc is truly worse than bad. 4. The premise is actually not bad at all. 5. But the execution is... well... you guessed it.

I really wanted to like this movie, I did. But as my wife kept making fun of it, and the fact that I chose to purchase it, I had to concede that yeah, it was terrible. I'm writing this review to save others from making this mistake. Don't believe all the 10/10 "friends and family" reviews... that is what we call "crazy-talk". My wife highly-encouraged me to write this review (after some 10 years of rating things on IMDb, it's my first review) because I think she thinks it's our duty to the Internet or something. In fact, she was legitimately upset that I gave it a 2/10. She thinks it doesn't deserve that high a rating. I could at least see where they were going with a half-way decent premise that was then shot to hell by poor execution.

Save yourself. If a 9.2 rating for this movie (on the level of a "Shawshank Redemption" or a "Godfather") seems too good to be true, it's because it absolutely and totally is.

I'm being generous by giving it a 3 ! Predictable , stilted and basically a teenage girls type film. Worse still I watched it based on IMDb rating of 8.1 ...after all that's Shawshank Redemption territory .. so it must be good . What I didn't spot was there were only 94 reviews ... they must have come from the cast and crew and their families. My advice ..don't bother watching it

I enjoyed this movie very much. Full disclosure, I've been a fan of many involved in this project for years, so I was predisposed to appreciate new material from them. Some of my amusement definitely came from seeing lots of familiar and well-loved faces, as well as references to Amy Elizabeth Tyler's (Ashley Clements) previous career as a vlogger and her "little videos." I have no idea how intentional or coincidental that was on the part of writer/director/costar Brendan Bradley and the story he set out to tell (at most an Easter egg, I think), but it made me happy.

That said, I did also enjoy the film on its own merits. The cast is charming and gave me some real life lol moments. This movie promises a comedy about two people who have come to a crossroads in their lives and challenge each other to grow. It delivers.
