Love at Sea

I would call this movie more of a 2 hour commercial for Royal Caribbean than an actual movie. The storyline was annoyingly choppy and felt over after the first hour. According to an interview I read the lead actors were asked their dream movie and said one on a cruise ship, meaning this whole movie was a workcation for the stars. Unless you are looking to sail Royal Caribbean or huge fans of the PenaVegas just pass.

I think the other reviewers pretty much covered all the problems with this movie, so I'm not going to waste your time with a lengthy review. I do think that because this movie got off to such a weak start, it became difficult to stay committed to it. The acting was not strong enough, and for the most part, it disappoints. Still, there was enough substance in it for me to watch it until the end, perhaps because it took part on a cruise ship, and not in the usual Hallmark venues, although I did truly fall asleep in the middle. I suspect a stronger cast along with a better script might have made a substantial difference.

How can a real life married couple not have chemistry on screen. I have seen other hallmark movies with actors that are not married light it up and make you root for them.

The basic virtue of this film, for me, was rediscover Audrey Landers. And the impressive ship.

The story is modest and forced in too many aspects , the feeling about a sort of improvisation is not absent and the chemistry between Alexa and Carlos PenaVega can be defined as artificial, the regret about option of Olivia being a good clue in this sense.

In short, nothing new , not only the familiar recipe but the old cliches without any innovative sparkle. But, sure, Hallmark in ordinary terms.

Only regret - the potential of development of characters, ignored for conventional sketches and for improvisations solved by two final kisses.

Hallmark needs to do away with this married couple thing. No chemistry even though they are married. His acting is horrible. Kind of reminds me of Kelly Ripa and Mark. Storyline was boring too.
