I took a chance on The Other Side of Darkness(2022) based on the polarity of votes from 10-1. The concept of the movie is one many have contemplated from an accidental grid outage to an attack on the grid from a nefarious source. I was pleasantly surprised by the acting from all involved. The music and scenery is worth watching the movie--especially the music. This is definitely an "Indie" movie but in my opinion one of the better ones given the young actors.

I will say the movie would have been much, much better without all the profanity. Profanity just fills in where the writers cannot think of anything to say. The plight of many in foster care is a secondary theme. Again, worth watching but not one to watch more than once.

One star because Hallmark does not prepare parents for the LGBT content.

Two Tickets to Paradise concept is an old one, bride and /or, groom or both dumped. I really like Ashley Williams in October Kiss and she was passable in the Evergreen movies. Sorry to see she agreed to be in non family friendly movies but each to their own.

For parents, this is another LGBT Hallmark movie with two men on their honeymoon(complete with kissing) staying at the same resort Hannah Holt(Williams) was staying. Josh(Ryan Paevy) is the other dumpee who ended up at the same resort with Hannah.

The movie started out with humor, with Hannah Holt wailing in the bathroom after being dumped. Josh seemed to take his dump in stride.

Funny movie but for adults.
