Hidden Gems

What a gem of a movie! I really enjoyed the on location in Hawaii movie setting and the two new leads-this was my first time seeing Hunter and Beau. I hope we see more of them on Hallmark. They had great chemistry and are fun to watch.

Refreshingly different than the typical cookie cutter hallmark movie. The actress was very hard to watch between her grotesque botox lips and gawdy eyelashes It was hard to pay attention to the story. What am eye sore!

Nice job, Hallmark. Loved the Hawaii setting and enjoyed the story. It was great to see some new actors that seemed natural and believable. I did think the main male character seemed to make a quick turnaround with his attitude but it was a minor point. It is a Hallmark movie after all.

Addie (Hunter King) is in Hawaii as the maid of honor and organizer of her sister's wedding. Her most important possession is a ring from her late grandmother. When she loses the ring, she needs help from chilled dive instructor Jack (Beau Mirchoff).

This is a Hallmark romance. The meet-cute has a good amount of cute and the maximum amount of conflict. These are two young beautiful people in a beautiful place. The leads have fine chemistry. The underwater stuff is pretty and it's Hawaii. The writing and the general filmmaking is all Hallmark basics. The biggest issue with the story is Addie as a master diver. If she's a skilled diver and the ring is that important, she should be spending every moment of daylight to search for the ring. She can't know how to dive for the sake of the story logic. She should be stressed. She should be desperate. She should be trying to find the ring at every hour of the day. Now maybe he could talk her down a bit but the way that he could show he truly cares is to start searching for ring excessively himself. There is also the theme of magic. The movie could do more with that. For example, Jack should give something more personal to temporarily take the place of ring. It's a talisman. I do love her playing with her finger all the time over the ring. This has a lot of good elements of a rom-com. The writing does need to expand and develop into more than what is just another Hallmark movie.

What a surprise!

Another Hallmark movie done on location-Hawaii- with two talented lead actors-Hunter King and Beau Mirchoff-new to Hallmark with a fresh storyline I haven't seen before.

So surprised I watched til the end-which doesn't happen often.

Hallmark should sign King and Mirchoff to do a sequel-
