Identical Love

I need to know what happened when they went back home. I wanted to know if his brother got punched in the face for saying something inappropriate. Would the parents say that she was better for Seth? WHAT HAPPENED NEXT???

Most Filipinos speak English, though broken sometimes. Elijah, the "interpreter", could not even speak Tagalog. The patient who spoke Tagalog, could not really speak the language either. Why wasn't the movie filmed in the Philippines, so actual Filipinos can serve as extras? Movie would've been authentic and not a pretend Philippines. French Polynesia is a beautiful island, but there are better islands in the Philippines. Also, the location made it seem like the doctors lived in luxury while serving the poor people. Very disappointed! :-( Acting was not that great either. Storyline was boring.

I have to agree with some of the other reviewers. It is embarrassing how the Filipinos were portrayed. I lived there years ago and never had to have a translator. They speak English, and very well I might add. Also, even in remote areas they are clean. Poor maybe, but clean. To show them in torn dirty clothing is insulting.

The scenery was beautiful but I wonder why they didn't just film in the Philippines. It's a beautiful country.

A woman falling for her ex-fiancé's identical twin brother was a different premise but the writing was lacking. The actors did a decent job with what they had but it could have been better.

Extra points for the scenery.

Stood up at the altar is a common premise. The bride retreats to a tropical paradise, which is also common. I can't think of a premise where she encounters her ex's twin, but I bet there is at least one.

I thought that the acting and dialogue were mildly stilted or unnatural. But the relationships, both of them, were given plenty of screen time and that was nice enough. I wondered where the conflict was going to come from, especially with Charlotte and Seth, so it made sense but it took me by surprise. Overall, the pace seemed slow. Which was probably because the story needed more.

I liked Shae Robins despite times when it looked like she was trying to hard. There was some chemistry with Mason D. Davis.

At times the background music is distracting - it doesn't fit the particular conversation.

This was a fun and interesting journey though could have become a gripping series - so much to explore. I deducted a star for the distasteful reminder of the poisonous jabs ferried out to remote islands - oh no.... not content for a fun escape film.....
