Saving Paradise

It's a feel good movie. The intention was good but as much as it has the same recycled cliche message of the underdog coming up tops eventually or that of the prodigal son returning to save the town, I still hate the need to pencil in the fact that the general acting seemed pretty wooden stiff, abrupt and detached... all puns intended. All in all, a pretty decent 5 stars with a bonus 1 thrown in for the short but certainly not unexpected solo bedroom Royal disrobe of William Moseley to spice up the viewing. Hey, if you got the royal jewels of good looks and a hot bod, flaunt it till you make it. Fair job Will, on the constipated American accent. Lighten up, it sounds more natural if you erase that tension.

I'll make this short and to the point. The story has been done before. But like most similar stories it's supposed to be a "feel good" movie, and it was. But, many scenes were sloppy, overly staged and forced. The younger actors were not convincing and didn't act well. The older actors, except for the corporate boss, were actually pretty good. The music, my god the music....... It was horrible, repetitive and did not add anything to the story except distraction. It's basically a hallmark movie premiering on a Wednesday at 2:00 pm.

This was the perfect feel good movie of 2021. Michael and Charlie's chemistry throughout the movie you could just see the sparks flying. Loved how Michael's character changes from being a greedy business man to a man instead of crushing businesses decides to go and help build them up.

I had tears in my eyes the whole movie!!

It was so moving how the community came together and helped out in a crisis.

It was just plain and simple a feel good movie that after the last year and half everyone needs to watch.

William Moseley and Johanna Braddy were terrific together. Lawrence Pressman as well. Really the entire cast was outstanding. The movie was motivational without being corny. It really connected with me. Special mention to James Eckhouse who played the perfect Kevin O'Leary style villain.

Whatever you could call it ("Hallmark type", "old fashioned", "in the spirit of the 70s", "cheesy movie", "sentimental lemonade", etc.), this is really a nice film that evokes positive emotions and, possibly, some tears despite its happy ending. There is no violence here, no sex, no vulgarity, no zombies and no intergalactic wars. P. S. George Steeves is really great in the role of an autistic employee! Watch this movie to feel much better!
