Love in Aruba

Aruba is my favorite island and we visit every few years. I watched the movie for the scenery, which is so pretty and tropical . The story was formulaic and little chemistry between the leads. If want blue skies and blue seas and a taste of what the island offers than watch it. I'm trying to figure out which house they filmed at as I'd love to rent it for our next trip!

The two lead characters would make the most dull couple imaginable. If they went on a first date, I am certain they would end it with a handshake. It's a decidedly unromantic romance movie. If you squint hard enough, you might be able to see one or two forced sparks fly, but I almost want to talk them out of it rather than cheer them on. I would especially want to know from Amber what she sees in Connor.

That said, the overarching plot and background scenery keep this movie watchable. I thought the child actor did a good job in her role, and her interactions with the leads were much better than is usual in this genre.

I saw this on GAC Family but it's older than that network, but it fits their model perfectly.

This movie is a slight variation on the nanny premise and in this case the nanny is accepted by the child without any problems. There really isn't any animosity between the leads but there is a ton of awkwardness early on. Unfortunately I didn't feel like that awkwardness disappeared long enough for there to be any chemistry. Actually awkwardness probably makes it harder to feel the chemistry than animosity.

The story doesn't really have any great highs or lows or surprises. Connor's history with his ex-wife unfolds so we know it pretty much by the middle of the movie. Connor's emotional scars from that are pretty strong and the inevitable conflict in the story is very predictable.

The acting is good. In fact, the actors play their daily roles so well that the dialogue seems mundane. I noticed only one good line about the windmills.

What stands out for this movie is the scenery which brings with it a little education about a variety of animals.

This movie is enjoyable for the easy going atmosphere and scenery. It is not exceptional.

What a charming and entertaining movie. Good clean family friendly movie with a great message of love can overcome all boundaries. Granted the movie has its clichés, and pilot is very predictable, but . . . For all of that, you really get into the move. The acting was great considering the simple script that was given, and the actors had to perform fleshing out their characters with some earnest to keep the character becoming flat on the screen. The music is a little less to be desired assigning itself to just background music and swells to crescendos at the right time. Who said that a romantic movie has to be raunchy one?

This was a really cute movie there was a couple drawbacks though they focused more on wind turbines and when they to the beach or other places nobody was around I mean surely they could have used some extras just walking around so it didn't look so the main characters didn't look so out of place.
