Le festival de l'amour

Whatever Up Tv is - they should find another genre - this film has a great and creative story and beautiful scenery but just didn't deliver when it came to script and cast - no chemistry, no genuineness.... worth watching just for the fun story but only just.....

Legend based on myth or truth? Of course. Maddie thinks it's true. At least she hopes it's true. The future of her museum depends on it.

Meanwhile, Fitz needs something to save tourism for the island he loves.

Thus starts the search for the lover's stone. And that's the story. It's not surprising they had to throw in Fitz's girlfriend to liven things up. It didn't help. I never saw anyone so unenthusiastic about proposing to his girlfriend and that was before he really got to know Maddie.

I was not familiar with Katrina Norman. I didn't recognize Tilky Jones but I had seen him in a couple of forgettable roles. The two had some mild chemistry. Like the story, nothing very exciting and no surprises.

The ending is more cheesy than sappy. I like sappy, but this was too over the top for me.

The lead actors are some of the most annoying I've seen & the storyline is similar to Pearl in Paradise which has far more credible actors/acting. The only redeeming feature of this film is the stunning location.

I tried to get onboard with this but within the first 5 mins the lead actress had already manhandled a incredibly badly made arts and crafts "artefact" like a child from there it just got worse and worse... i know its supposed to be romantic and we all need to suspend belief and invest in the journey etc but when she started stomping through a tropical garden (which I'm assuming was supposed to replicate a wildly overgrown jungle) as an unconvincing female Indiana Jones in.... wait for it.... Hot pants and heeled platform lace up boots i could no longer bear to watch.

Also the 2 lead actors had zero chemistry so even that couldn't bring it back round for me.

Good as a background movie where you don't have to actually pay attention.

But seriously though, she goes hiking on heels? Are you all out of your mind? 😅
