South Beach Love

Good story. Rather slow. The male lead was hard to understand, but the overall movie was entertaining. Taylor Cole was good. The insight to Cuban culture was good.

I'm an avid Hallmark movies fan and latin as well but this was a disappointment. Accents where exagerared and hard to understand. Full of clichés that are not even common (cheesy things like the girls shoes or dolls). Acting was stiff form both main characters, little chemistry and strange story line. Hope Hallmark does something that really gets Latin culture without stereotyping this much. It's a pity since William Levy is very talented in his natural element.

This movie wants to be cute, but it moves slowly, like an episode of a soap opera. There is nothing offensive and little or nothing to capture attention. It follows the trend of Hallmark movies, progressively becoming weaker and insignificant. No real drama and shallower characters. Maybe, Hallmark should concentrate more on substance, rather than quantity. When one wants to produce a hundred or more movies a year, real ideas run short! Taylor Cole is, as always, beautiful and charming, at least when she is not dressed as a10-year old. I guess it may be worth watching once, but I would not definitely plan to watch it again.

I am an avid Hallmark movie watcher. I always look forward to the premieres each Saturday. I have to say... This production seemed a little... off. The storyline was interesting and the acting was on point, but I think the location was problematic. The sound at some of the locations had major echoes and it made it difficult to understand the dialogue. Also, I don't know whether this director is someone who has directed a lot of these, but it seemed like there were so many tight, close up shots and it was very distracting. Honestly, between the sound and the visuals, I didn't make it past the first half hour.

Taylor Cole is one of my favorite Hallmark actresses and William Levy is muy caliente but this movie is a no for me. The lighting was HORRIBLE - like it literally hurt my eyes. And the guitar music was tinny. This should have been sultry and steamy but felt cold and glaring. Oh well.
