Featured reviews
Totally sappy, cheesy, silly, but sometimes you need a movie like that, right? This had me laughing at quite a few moments, because it really was sooo sappy. It's kitsch, but you should totally watch it on a night where you are entirely ambivalent to what you watch, and you think to yourself, why not? If my rating was based purely on the enjoyment I received from this movie, it would be much higher.
Come on you guys with the low ratings -- don't be so critical and snobbish. Enjoy the sweet love story and beautiful scenery of New Zealand. The village and the residents were charming. Makes you want to live there. So what if it was somewhat predictable. The lead couple was attractive and made you root for them. The story was simple, entertaining, and satisfying, with a happy ending. As for the film overall, I found it refreshing because there was no swearing and vulgarity.
If you are looking to watch something not very complex and romantic with a bit of comedy, I recommend this movie.
People are saying it's like a Hallmark film... Don't see the issue there whatsoever., it's obviously like a Hallmark film before you press play, shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. I loved it, was charming, lovely viewing, happy ending and likeable characters. Definitely put me in the mood for the Christmas rom coms in the next few months :)
I have to wonder if the other reviewers have ever watched a romantic comedy. A health relationship takes months to curate not just a weekend. I enjoyed the lead character. The balance of male and female characters without one being dominated over the other.

- GoofsWhen eating her sausage on bread sandwich, Gabriela very weirdly and conspicuously takes bites of ONLY the bread. This is because actress Christina Milian is vegetarian.
