Liebe auf Harbor Island

Lily's aunt has a little accident so she goes back home to Harbor's Island to help her with her family's Inn. While there, she meets Marcus, a pilot who handles an adoption center for puppies. They make a deal: he will help with the repairs at the Inn, and she will create a website for the adoption center.

It was pretty enjoyable. Both leads delivered a good performance, and most importantly, they had good chemistry. There was a lot of banter and I love that! The plot was nothing that we don't know already. Besides, there are dogs!!

However, I was kind of disappointed because the ending was kind of... meh? Nothing much happened. I was not expecting fireworks or a huge declaration of love but, having not checked the time, I didn't realise that was the ending of the movie until the mandatory kiss. This may be a tiny spoiler, but I was pretty satisfied because they kind of gave the ex-boyfriend a redemption moment.

I had already seen both Marcus and Morgan before, and I would definitely watch them again.

Morgan Kohan stars as Lily Summers in this Hallmark romance about a big-city interior decorator who rushes home to Harbor Island when her aunt takes a fall. While attending to Aunt Maggie (Brenda Matthews), Lily is reminded of the island's charms.

She also meets a pilot named Marcus (Marcus Rosner) who initially rubs her the wrong way, but whose quiet way eventually gains her trust. His hobby is rescuing homeless dogs.

The camera loves Ms. Kohan and her presence makes the film, which has a traditional Hallmark storyline. Rosner's silent strength may not exactly match up with his costar's screen persona, but it will probably appeal to many women viewers.

I enjoyed this slight but entertaining Hallmark film, and felt that it had the two main ingredients that make/break one of these films - the storyline holds up, and the leads have chemistry.

It is a bit short, and the ending a bit rushed, but apart from that this was fun.

What can I say, I am a sucker for red heads! Morgan is slowly becoming a hallmark star so hopefully she starts getting better scripts. I think the leading man actually matches her somewhat unlike her other two movies with Drew Nelson. I have always complained about Hallmark casting because I don't think they look at whom has chemistry. Morgan would be perfect with Andrew Walker or Peter McNally with her soft sweet demeanor. Hallmark please spend a few cents on casting department. Story, Script and Couple is what makes these movies and you just can't throw anyone together.

Unfortunately I couldn't make it through this one. Couldn't get interested in the storyline.

Why do they make your review be 150 characters in order for it to be published? I got nothing left.
