Passion orageuse

I stumbled across this late one night when I couldn't sleep. I kept on watching mainly because there was a gorgeous husky in it! It turned out to be not too bad. Our heroine looked normal, not perma tanned and glossy. It passed 90 minutes. I actually quite enjoyed it. There are a lot worse films out there.

It's a wholesome movie, where people from all walks of life can watch. Collin (Bo Yokely), is just so handsome that any starry eyed girls will be drooling...and Lauren (Madeline Leon) is a girl crush to watch. I like the story, simple not complicated, very good specially if you're passing your time. I'll recommend it mostly to the young at hearts.

The storyline could have made this a great movie, but it falls flat.

The idea of a love-hate relationship and the devastation of a town makes for the base of a sexually charged movie. But unfortunately this movie did not deliver.

The acting was awful and the chemistry between the actors was lacking. The dialogue was boring and did drag on and on.

Scenes on front porches or inside the church took longer shots than needed and made it seem like the budget for this film was truly lacking.

Gave a hallmark feel without the feels.

Overall I do not recommend this film.

The cover art for the movie made it seem like it was going to be this heartfelt romance.

Stopped watching after 20 mins. Why have I not been discovered yet? I Know I can do better.

Whew.

It took about three months before deciding to write "here" about this. This isn't any spectacular review or anything close to it. This is just mainly about how I FEEL about the movie.

This movie is better than I expected it to be. It's based on MAROONED WITH A MAVERICK by Christine Rimmer, with some differences, but the movie made for UPTV tried to be true to the original.

I liked the chemistry between MADELINE LEON and BO YOKELY plus the dog who was like their "Cupid".

Willa was rejected by Collin years back, but the devastating storm brought them together...and may I repeat, the dog named Dancer.

The people around them noticed that there's a "vibe" between the two of them, but somehow, there was something stopping the two of them to be together, until after the storm.

The storm did bring them together, but Willa had a beau, but before you think that this is a simple triangle, think again. There's more to it than meets the eye.

Willa is a strong, steadfast woman of Faith, and only a man who could accept that...

The movie is predictable with a few surprises. I liked that the flashbacks were not confusing, and the acting didn't seem to be forced.

It surely wouldn't be a waste of your time.
