Zwei Tickets ins Paradies

Everything about this movie (with the exception of the condensed 1.5hr shrink of a good story for advertisements added).

Story, actors, director, setting -all were quite perfect. Have not truly enjoyed the comedy, the great chemistry between all the actors, the real enjoyment watching a good full length movie can bring. Hallmark is not known for this-but all is good here... Caveat again:, It was too short.

Ryan and Ashley clicked. Their comedic timing was perfect . Their supporting cast was perfect as well... enjoyable to connect with, "real" people .

Fans calling for a sequel are serious. This is the best "feel good" movie I have seen in years... We fans need: More surfing, snorkeling, and the beauty of Hawaii.

Loved it. Please repeat the good feels.

Fun Summer Nights movie with a great cast dynamic -definitely thought Ashley and Ryan had a fun and enjoyable chemistry. I wouldn't mind seeing both of them together again in future Hallmark movies.

Another storyline from Hallmark I haven't seen before.

Also another Hallmark movie where I couldn't guess the ending. Watched till the end.

Great scenery-loved the location. Got the true island feel.

Ryan Paevey brought his usual natural approach to his character while Ashley Williams seemed a bit over the top in some scenes.

Chemistry had more a friend vibe than romantic.

Also enjoyed the scenes with the newly married gay couple. I'm friends with people like that couple. They're fun to be around. Thank you, Hallmark for including them.

And lastly, Hallmark has to give Ryan Paevey a sequel movie or show starring his character in this movie.

I looked forward to this movie. Ashley Williams always brings something special to the screen in energy and joy. Ryan Paevey is also always a sure thing. The premise of both-stood-up and go-on-the-honeymoon-anyway sounded like a good one. Even a little unusual. And for the most part, my expectations were met with a but.

Near the end someone says something like "I'm not sure what I think about that." Well that's how I feel about the messages the characters were saying toward the end of the movie. These Hallmark movies and their clones have messages. They may not always be deeply profound, but there are messages. In this movie, I think they were confused and possibly even contradictory.

There was chemistry between Williams and Paevey. But there were some little disconnects also, intentional ones. There were a lot of funny lines and situations. There was a lot of breathtaking scenery.

I Tweeted during the movie: Dear Hallmarkchannel, please make text messages bigger, at least twice as big. Hannah was laughing at a series of them and I never got the joke because even with rewind and pause, I couldn't read them all. That is so frustrating.

Perhaps next time I watch this in a year or so, it will make more sense, but despite some good fun, the feeling I was left with was confusion.

It's kinda funny, but sad too, that we're so polarized these days, and that people will waste their time review-bombing a tv-movie because they're so afraid of reality.

They're mad that after years, even decades of bland, by-the-numbers, dated storylines, Hallmark is finally embracing reality and including gay characters in their movies.

And what's so funny -- and ironic -- is these terrified folks have no idea how many of Hallmark's (and any other soap opera-type channel's) LEADING MEN are in fact gay, including some of their most popular. On top of that, some are publicly out -- like Peter Porte, Luke MacFarlane and Jonathan Bennett -- and not ashamed or afraid of what anyone thinks of their orientation.

Having said that, it's indeed sad that there are still people out there who have been taught to condemn, shame, and even disown their own children, simply for loving someone of their own sex. They didn't choose to be gay, it's not a "lifestyle choice"...yet they're cast out because they're different. But that too is changing big time. Fewer and fewer people every year are going to these evangelical churches and believing all the bigotry and hate.

So go ahead, downvote all you like. That won't change the FACT that the overwhelming majority of the public is not only not afraid of gay people, they have gay friends and acquaintences they love -- and enjoy movies like this one where Hallmark is starting to embrace what has always been a small percentage of the population.

Thank you Hallmark for making an effort with movies like this, to include characters that represent everyone. And also for hiring gay actors who aren't ashamed of their orientation. This movie was pretty damn good, especially compared to all the cheesy Christmas fluff.
