L'isola del vero amore

One of so many romances suported by impressive locations and a presumed erudition. Nothing original or realistic or romantic. But good ocasion to use a fairy tale theme in superficial manner. And this is, in good measure, what real matters.

Not so bad acting ( sure, with some indulgence), not awful story ( the dose of indulgence becomes more serious ) . The air of presumed air of treasure hunter, the legends and the diaries, books are good tools for reasonable chain of adventures and illusion of romance. The good point - the comunity spirit.

In short, a poor film with some presumed sparkles. And this is all.

I tried to get onboard with this but within the first 5 mins the lead actress had already manhandled a incredibly badly made arts and crafts "artefact" like a child from there it just got worse and worse... i know its supposed to be romantic and we all need to suspend belief and invest in the journey etc but when she started stomping through a tropical garden (which I'm assuming was supposed to replicate a wildly overgrown jungle) as an unconvincing female Indiana Jones in.... wait for it.... Hot pants and heeled platform lace up boots i could no longer bear to watch.

Also the 2 lead actors had zero chemistry so even that couldn't bring it back round for me.

Good as a background movie where you don't have to actually pay attention.

But seriously though, she goes hiking on heels? Are you all out of your mind? 😅

Reused plot as in Pearl in Paradise with minor efforts of writing, directing etc, some nonsense and errors here and there, but nice locations, great lead actress, main actor had less expressivity, but I find it understandable. No great chemistry, but an enjoyable movie overall!

Must find a lovers stone or the museum closes; how lame. Girl meets bed n breakfast employee, very predictable. He is with island festival committee, who must save the festival. The myth of the lovers stone will bring in tourists. Extras in the movie make up for bad tourists. Girl gets lost in jungle...and is rescued. Senario--girl helps boy with festival, boy helps girl find stone and the same old ending as all other "hallmark" type movie But the dialog is just bad.
