L'amour en double

Falling for the identical twin of the man who dumped her. Interesting aspect about looking beyond the outside appearance to see the person inside. Twins can be totally different inside is the message. But that doesn't take away the icky factor if the sibling's ex. The male lead is a bit sickly looking. More like a patient than a doctor. Shae Robins is fairly sweet if indistinguishable from many other actresses.

There are a few shocking inaccuracies. Filipino peoples speak English and do not need a translator. Why would they do that in this day and age. Also the islands with the jagged peaks are totally Polynesia. So unlike S E Asia. Should just have set it in Polynesia instead.

Not worth watching.

Most Filipinos speak English, though broken sometimes. Elijah, the "interpreter", could not even speak Tagalog. The patient who spoke Tagalog, could not really speak the language either. Why wasn't the movie filmed in the Philippines, so actual Filipinos can serve as extras? Movie would've been authentic and not a pretend Philippines. French Polynesia is a beautiful island, but there are better islands in the Philippines. Also, the location made it seem like the doctors lived in luxury while serving the poor people. Very disappointed! :-( Acting was not that great either. Storyline was boring.

I have to agree with some of the other reviewers. It is embarrassing how the Filipinos were portrayed. I lived there years ago and never had to have a translator. They speak English, and very well I might add. Also, even in remote areas they are clean. Poor maybe, but clean. To show them in torn dirty clothing is insulting.

The scenery was beautiful but I wonder why they didn't just film in the Philippines. It's a beautiful country.

A woman falling for her ex-fiancé's identical twin brother was a different premise but the writing was lacking. The actors did a decent job with what they had but it could have been better.

Extra points for the scenery.

This was a fun and interesting journey though could have become a gripping series - so much to explore. I deducted a star for the distasteful reminder of the poisonous jabs ferried out to remote islands - oh no.... not content for a fun escape film.....

The scenery steals the show! The female lead was so listless and unbelievable and as a physician that it was no wonder her fiancee left her. The male lead was better but it was probably a struggle to make a romance from a wedding disaster. The secondary romance was more believable and low key. For a medical mission it needed at least some medical problems to treat; too much time sightseeing and laying around the beach and pool. The climax where the four were stranded never felt like they were in any kind of trouble, a missed opportunity in the story.

The coincidences were too much- twin brothers, one nice and the other not so; then the major coincidence of meeting in the Philippines by chance.
