I totally agree with "almost a good movie" . This was supposed to be a romance but the writers made it about 2 bickering women, and ruined the movie, I strongly suggest not using this {these} writers again. This movie had everything going for it. Highly anticipated sequel, great acting, great location shots, and a very promising romance story, then it was destroyed by bad writing. It is a disappointment to see such a wonderful story destroyed by the ridiculous bickering of two older women, each of whom should have known better. I have been reviewing movies for over 50 years on various media, and have seldom seen such bad writing.

I have been reviewing movies for over 30 years, and publishing them on various print and digital media.

The writers of this one obviously did no research. They are way off historically and legally .

The location was little more than mediocre but beautiful. The story was more of a mystery than a romance, and there was no chemistry at all between the leads. It doesn't explain why our leads have to hike 3 days to an unknown location and their nemesis can fly right to it in a helicopter. Cindy Busby turned in a really good performance, but that did not make up for the lack of chemistry with the male (mediocre) lead. The best supporting character was the grandmother.

I rate the movie one star but I gave two bonus stars because it was actually family friendly with no liberal propaganda.

I really looked forward to this movie but I was super disappointed with it. It was so bad I had to stop watching it after about thirty minutes. There was absolutely NO chemistry between any of the characters and bad acting all around. The thing that was worse than the acting was the writing.

The mother was too overbearing and self centered, with no concern for the daughters feelings. The daughter did not have enough intestinal fortitude face her mother and stop her from trying to set her up. The story rambled and the fantasy was unreal. Teryl Rothery and Aaron O'Connell were the only actors I have seen before and I have seen much better work from both of them.
