I always fancy an African Safari and this movie just pandered to my taste. It just takes you away to a totally different world. Forget logic just sit back and indulge in it.
The story in and of itself is nothing original or surprising. The story doesn't make much sense and the dialogue is super cheesy. But it's a feel-good movie and the scenery is gorgeous.
Cute romantic movie. A bit on the sappy side, but does a good job of not offending anyone.
I like the elephant conservation message.
A good way to bring a very important message in a non-confrontational way.

It is probably the best romcom I watched in the past 3 years. Educational and not only love. Messages not only the elephant as well as what we pursuing in life. Quite mind blowing and fun to watch.
This is a nice little movie. My only issues are with the lack of actual Zambian culture. My reference: I'm married to a Zambian. There are a couple locations I know for sure are in Zambia, the original hotel and the elephant orphanage are real locations in Zambia. The "local" characters are mostly not played by Zambian actors, there is no Zambian music, and almost none of the Zambian languages. There is more Swahili and Zulu in the film than any of the 140+ languages that exist in Zambia. Also, Christmas isn't really celebrated in Zambia, at least not how it's portrayed in the film. It's a shame really, it's a beautiful country with a rich culture and they didn't access really any of it.

- GoofsWhen Derek and Kate are awakened by Roi the elephant, their vehicle carries a tarpaulin-covered load immediately behind the seats which projects a good foot above the seat backs. As they drive away, the load is now wider and considerably less tall. Finally, in the aerial shot, the tarp is gone and the space is occupied by a spare tire.
