Um Amor no Mar

When "grandma" showed up and looked almost as young as Alex PenaVega, I was done. Nothing up to that point captured my attention. For the most part, I don't think husband and wife teams are good together in romantic movies. Probably a thing in the back of my head that is saying there is no anticipation for first love/romance. That's what I love in romantic movies. First romance/love. You can skip this one in my opinion.

The most boring movie I've ever seen. Alexa and Carlos are married in real life but somehow they have zero chemistry in this movie. Don't waste your time

6.3 stars.

I love Alexa, but this film cannot be resuscitated even with her presence. Mr. Vega did ok, but all the dialogue was just one long pitch for Carnival Cruise.

There is no story and very little drama. Her character is working with her friend to promote her healthy lifestyle company on the cruise and he is a cruise director. The business starts to hit unforeseen roadblocks and he comes to the rescue. In the meantime we get to witness them enjoying the amenities.

Her mother is dating a guy and it appears he could be a gold digger. That's a bit of a side plot that also serves up no endearment.

The actors bring some energy, but it's a proverbial spinning of their wheels on a lifeless script. So sad, I really had high hopes, but I guess I knew better. With a 5.6 overall rating, what did I expect?

I would call this movie more of a 2 hour commercial for Royal Caribbean than an actual movie. The storyline was annoyingly choppy and felt over after the first hour. According to an interview I read the lead actors were asked their dream movie and said one on a cruise ship, meaning this whole movie was a workcation for the stars. Unless you are looking to sail Royal Caribbean or huge fans of the PenaVegas just pass.

How can a real life married couple not have chemistry on screen. I have seen other hallmark movies with actors that are not married light it up and make you root for them.
