A Week in Paradise

Created an account just so I could give this a horrible rating and save the next person the pain of watching this. I LOVE cheesy and predictable hallmark movies and thought that's what I was getting when i turned this on but the acting was truly so awful it made Hallmark movies seem like Oscar winners. It was so bad it seemed like they were actually trying to act poorly and the chemistry was zero. I had to turn it off because I felt such horrible secondhand embarrassment for the actors. The most cringe thing you will ever see - I've seen the actors in other stuff so I know they're capable but whatever happened when this movie was created was truly horrific.

Oh my gosh, I laughed so hard when I read Crachels-59225 post, because I came searching for comments about the music in this film. Seriously, I typed the name of the movie and "worst songs ever" in my Google search. The songs are beyond cringe. The acting is bad too. Like crashels-59225, I created this account just to share this. That's how bad the songs are! I felt compelled to warn you. Lol! I'm surprised the lead took this role. I've seen her in other roles where I thought she did a good job. She hasn't had all the botox, fillers, which is a good thing, but it stands out because we are so used to seeing zero wrinkles on women in Hollywood.

Created an IMDB account purely to leave this review. It's like for half the film they didn't want to pay the actors extra by giving them actual lines, so they play melodramatic music over zoomed in facial shots and even on scenes that could use actual words in them! Whoever orchestrated the music had more of a job than the script writers that's for sure. I've seen multiple of these actors in different films and they weren't this bad, I can only assume it's the directing which leaves a lot to be desired. If you like films with constant close up facial shots with awful backing music then crack on, if not, avoid!

Seen the same storyline a dozen times before, nothing new. Also, the main lead is too smiley and cheerful for someone with a broken heart. Downright annoying. Actually, everyone is smiling all the time. Everything seems fake and nothing seems real. Loved the clothes, though. Hope to see more of the main lead's friend, who is a really fit lady for her age, and does a decent job of delivering even the cringeworthy dialogues.

I created an IMDb account just to write this review...it was that bad. The acting is terrible, despite having two well known actresses. The cinematography was awful, all the beyond cheesy slow mo's were embarrassing to watch. The script isn't great. But probably the worst thing is the music. The most awful, cringy music I've ever heard in a movie. Sorry but it's true. I could not stop watching because it was like watching a train wreck. The two stars are for the beautiful scenery of wherever they filmed this. Perhaps they spent the majority of the movie budget on location instead of everything else. I love cheesy, predictable Hallmark movies but oh my gosh this was so terrible!
