Beauty and the Billionaire: Bali

Loved this sweet movie! Perfect casting, great length and super engaging. A bonus: The Bali setting was gorgeous.

The leading actress, Charlotte Hemmings, gives an incredible performance. Her portrayal of the no-nonsense doctor adds depth and warmth to the film, as she effortlessly balances toughness with vulnerability, making her character's evolving relationship with the billionaire both believable and compelling. Hemmings' chemistry with her co-star elevates the story, turning what could have been a predictable plot into a genuinely heartwarming journey of personal growth, redemption, and unexpected connections.

Well, of course, she visited another country and you know what she'll find? A handsome hunk billionaire who seems to be the only good looking guy in that country, as it seems. These movies practically write themselves. The main character will hate the billionaire, but it will take the end of the movie until she says, 'I don't hate you now and I love you because I'm a predictable person. Honestly, I'm baffled. How do these movies get greenlit? Do the actors just sign on the dotted line without reading the script? It's like they're all playing a twisted game of 'I Spy' with the same tired tropes. 'I Spy with my little eye... a billionaire with a tragic past who needs a sassy American to soften his heart. If you enjoy watching paint dry or enjoy the exquisite torture of déjà vu, then 'Beauty and the Billionaire: Bali' is the cinematic masterpiece for you. Otherwise, save yourself the headache and watch something with actual originality."

This movie is FANTASTIC! The storyline is well-written! Actors and actresses execute the story incredibly well! Lots of chemistry (and fireworks) between Charlotte and Sam with supporting cast that demonstrate their incredible talents in their roles. Overall, the acting was AWESOME! This movie has twists and turns that I did not expect. I was kept on the edge. One reminder, as a medical professional, I appreciated the plot containing medical references, yet some of the medical aspects are not reality and exaggerated. When I logged onto my IMDb account to read more of the credits, I realized why this was such a great movie! Brittany Wiscombe seems to be one of my favorite writers...Many of my favorite movies are written by Brittany! Kuddos to her!

Such a cute movie, just an easy one to let your brain check out and check back into a beautiful Bali landscape and story with a surprising twist. Was this actually filmed in Bali, because now my family wants to go and my kids want to swing on "that big swing in the jungle." It was a good family-friendly movie, my kids both loved it (8 and 10 years old) The lead actress is stunning, can't wait to see her in more movies (we also watched her in Faith of Angels- another feel-good flick!) Make a sequel- we need to see where these characters end up and if they find their way to another gorgeous destination.

Beauty and the Billionaire: Bali is about a doctor, Ivy (played by Charlotte Hemmings), who practices at a clinic in Indonesia which desperately needs funding to keep operating.

Dylan (portrayed by Samuel Whitten) is the billionaire who desperately needs positive publicity for his company as it faces negative headlines due to financial irregularities. He thinks offering funding to the little clinic would be a great move to make his company appear in a positive light.

The meet and greet between the two MCs was a disaster, ending in Dylan storming out of the clinic threatening to cancel funding.

In the meantime, his uncle Blake, Dylan's confidant and right-hand man in the company falls and hits his head developing a concussion.

After treatment at the very clinic he stormed out of, Dylan insists that Ivy drop her patients and stay in the villa with them to care for his uncle around-the-clock.

Yes there was the educated, caring beauty (Ivy) who would only take so much from the billionaire before a well-deserved clap back.

And yes, there was the cold, heartless rich guy (Dylan) who only thought of himself and treating everyone else as though they were put on the earth as an afterthought.

And of course, there was the back-and-forth dialog between the MCs gradually leading to the realization that opposites really do attract even ones who appear totally polar.

What happens afterwards is a journey neither one saw coming.

"Bali" captured the spectacular landscapes and touched on challenges facing the community. The film's pace may be a bit slow at some points, but that should be no surprise in tropical spaces.

This 2024 Beauty and the Billionaire: Bali has no character relations to the original Beauty and the Billionaire (also written by Brittany Wiscombe) released in 2022 other than the film's preface.

As of this writing, IMDB has no rating for this movie.

I would rate this movie a solid 6.0 for two reasons, 1) The beautiful scenery and 2) without giving too much away, the surprise motive of one of the characters.

Check out Beauty and The Billionaire: Bali. That surprise motive and ending alone makes "Bali" worth the watch.
