Coup de foudre pour le capitaine

Really liked this Hallmark movie. I am so happy Hallmark didn't go all predictable as they usually do. Glad they decided not to let him or her hear or see something that is not real and then lose the other person because of their assumptions; this is usually the boring direction of most Hallmark movie.

This may not be the best movie but, I love this movie because it takes my mind off the biggest world problems for a while. It is light hearted, a little whimsical somewhat. Basically it is a fairytale, but I love it. Sure, the part about the island could be a little deeper, but this is suppose to be a love story, not a movie solving problems.

So many reviews for this one...but what can I say? I like it. It is a cute Hallmark movie that makes you roll your eyes every once in a while, you can't expect it to be perfect.

Chris McNally plays Tom, a boat captain who looks very good in uniform and chan charm anyone. Leah Renee is a high school teacher who wants to save an island iconic to the small town she has lived her whole life.

Things I liked: The scenery, no one can argue with that, that place was breathtaking. We see new faces in this movie, one gets tired of all movies having the same secondary actors. Summer vibe (of course). The soundtrack was great. The aeriel shots and definitely the kiss in the middle of the movie (yes!). Good chemistry.

Things I didn't like: Too many white, camera perfect people. Seriously, diversity Hallmark, ever heard of it? Too many weddings. The typical assumptions a character makes. That cliche simply does not work.

Was it perfect? Nope. Was I entertained for an hour and a half? Yes. It's worth watching.

This is one of the better Hallmark movies lately, and the lead actor has a ton of charisma, but man, that lead actress. What were they thinking. Sure, she is pretty, but to be an actress implies that one should have to be able to act, yes? Her voice is bad, and she just couldn't summon up any ability to carry off her lines. I hope this is her last Hallmark movie. I won't watch another with her.

About Hallmark movies, the word nice seems, almost always, the fair one. In this case it is not. Not for acting, not for cliches, not for predactibility. But for too many weddings, for supporting actors and landscape as only reasonable pillars , for something used again and again who, after a not short experience across Hallmark products, seems good for nap .

Yes, I admitt, maybe it is my fault. A middle age old man can resist less to the waves of romance and very simple stories in which is clear from the first scene. And I admitt, Chris McNally is more than hadsome in uniform and Leah Renee is far to be bad as biology teacher. But the only good point, for me, can be only ...the lighthouse. Real, real beautiful the trip of main characters in its rooms.

So , Hallmark.
