Love is in the Air

"Love is in the Air" appears to be a romantic film featuring Delta Goodrem as a seaplane pilot in a cheesy and saccharine love story. The movie seems to rely heavily on clichés and contrived situations, making it a challenging watch for most audiences. The central romance between Dana and William, played by Joshua Sasse, doesn't seem to have much chemistry, and the plot's predictability is a drawback. The film's dialogue and performances also come across as forced at times. While the movie aims for an uplifting experience, it appears to fall short of delivering genuine emotions. Delta Goodrem's performance, while not outstanding, manages to deliver some of the film's corny lines with a straight face. Overall, it seems like a film primarily suited for die-hard fans of the Sydney-born performer rather than a broader audience.

I'm a fan of Delta and a huge fan of Australian movies - but this did not work well at all.

It's lolly water iced with cliches and a predictable plot.

I do not understand why these kinds of movies are made. I understand that no-one forces us to watch - so, there's no need to do so then be all negative about it - but, like I said, I'm a Delta fan and a huge Australian movie fan - so, you just want to give it a shot.

But when the writing lacks depth, edge and light and dark, it ends up being little more than a relatively polished episode of Neighbours or Home and Away.

And , unfortunately then, the acting, directing, even the music, flops to the same low levels. Pity.

Having seen hundreds of romance movies, I feel qualified to comment when I see one that stands out. I liked the central couple and found their chemistry genuine even if it may have been amplified for her because of her limited dating pool and more believable for him because he is looking for passion in his life and is naturally drawn to hers. As far as the other elements needed for success, they are all present: Interesting and humorous supporting characters - check; parents whose actions are affecting the plot - check; and external circumstances that create challenges and are also interesting - check. Surprising bonuses: incredible scenery in a part of the world not often seen in U. S. romance movies and exciting flying sequences. One downside: business factors are not realistic, but who wants to think about work during a romance move.? Give this one a look if you are in the mood for romance.

I don't think we're meant to take this movie seriously. Because it seems that the filmmakers didn't even take it seriously.

The good bits: Stunningly beautiful sceneries; attractive easy on the eye leads; supporting actors' performance.

The no good bits: the script is not very convincing, lacks substance; both female and male leads' unrealistic makeup just doesn't seem truthful to the characters; lead performances are cringy at times; pacing seems a bit off especially towards the end.

Overall it's a very forgettable movie. I think I'll only remember the beautiful blue sea and the unnecessarily long false eyelashes.

At least this film looks good. In fact it looks very good and serves as a wonderful tourist promo for Queensland and the Whitsunday's. Even the brief scenes of London look very inviting, though the view out of the office window looks ominously like Brisbane.

This is almost enough to cover a very basic plot line and a script which could have been created by AI. That said, it is all very pleasant and innocent and the sort of film your Granny would approve of.

Aeroplane buffs are already having a ball identifying inaccuracies within the cockpit, but at least this plane does not morph into another type of airliner altogether as is a common practice in other movies.
