Amore in safari

I'm a big fan of Hallmark movies and Lacey Chabert is one of my favorites, but this film just didn't grab me. The best aspect of Love on Safari is the absolutely gorgeous location and scenery, and I appreciate the underlying messages about conservation, honoring the past, and being a part of something that is bigger than ourselves. The overall story however is mediocre and not terribly compelling. Lacey is worth watching, and the other actors are competent, but the romance between the lead characters lacks chemistry and just isn't convincing. I gave it 7 stars only because of the beautiful location and photography. Worth the time for the stunning scenery, but not much else.

The on location filming in Africa is the best part of this movie. Hallmark is transporting people all over nowadays. The story is typical save the place and fall in love thing and give up your old life. Lacey needs to vary her speech patterns a little. Sounds a bit chirpy. Didn't notice a real romance develop probably less than in other Hallmark movies. OK for

The story was thin but that's not rare for Hallmark movies. The lead male actor was neither attractive nor a good actor and that was the main problem for me. There was no romantic energy in this film at all and I've seen Chabert strike sparks with a plethora of male leads. That bit of poor casting really cost this film.

The animals, the scenery, and the South African cast were wonderful. In fact.

She said at the beginning of the movie that she visited the reserve when she was five and then again when she was fourteen. Later on in the movie she said she fed the elephant when she was there at 10 years old.

The movie was okay. I loved the animals, the scenery and Africa, very beautiful! The bad thing is that the leads don't have chemistry at all, the male lead was not suited for Lacey, she is amazing as always, so she saved the movie. It's a movie worth watching one time!
