Love at the Shore

This was a very lighthearted,relaxing summer romance movie for the entire family to watch, with NO violence, No filthy words, No sex, nor abundant nudity, just good clean entertainment. I would like to salute the Producer, the director, the writer, and the entire crew of the Cartel, for making a movie "these days" without all that stuff, and thanks to Hallmark ( my all time FAVORITE channel) for showing it--keep up the good work !!! The movie was filmed in Tybee Island and they did a fantastic job of spanning some of the best views of that Island, I know because we were there at the time of the filming. Almost like a quaint ole' fashioned shore (or beach) town that reminds one of the times when they were not so commercialized, with awesome and "unusual" food-eateries, and huge sandy beaches, just relaxing beautiful days and nights.

I was agreeably surprised watching this lovely movie! The acting was far above the usual in this Hallmark production. This movie cinematography made me want to visit this shore and reminded me of my favourite holiday town by the sea when I was growing up. Couldn't change the channel, even during the commercials, which for me is way outside my normal. The chemistry between the leads was crackling. A thouroughly enjoyable movie experience on all points.

Want an evening of lighthearted viewing ? This is your answer. Very beautiful setting, good acting including two adorable children, good chemistry all around.

I think that her acting is much worse than his, but these two have the chemisty of two stiff robots--so okay, not the feeling robots with emotions--trying to connect. This is one of the worst Hallmark movies.

It was pathetic really, and that's the crux of my view. Why say more.

I've read some of the earlier reviews and they're right about some of the film's inherent flaws - ie a writer going to a busy Summer Camp to get quiet to finish her novel; letting a total stranger be alone with her kids; an uptight Mum ; a single bachelor is just going to want to take on a woman and 2 kids without even kissing her, and believing people on holiday in public places will keep the noise down ??!! However, I loved the 2 leads in Amanda Righetti and Peter Porte who elevated the film beyond kitsch. Amanda has such a beautiful smile that would melt even the stoniest hearts and their scenes together were cute. The kids too gave very mature natural performances and the scenery at Tybee Island was incredible - I just want to go there !
