The Maltese Holiday

Even travelling from New York $15000 is at least 5 times too much for a hiliday in Malta. Landing looked like UK, airport looked american. A few scenes were filmed in Malta but the majority including hotel interior and vineyard were in NY with backgoround nothing like Malta or indeed Xmas time as too many leaves on the trees. Obvious to anyone who knows and loves Malta, very disappointed with the lack of local scenes. Having the actors travel to Malta and having a unit based there with a very productive film studio, why were the Maltese scenes not all filmed there. Some great aerial shots. Gives a very distorted picture of Malta and its people.

This was NOT filmed in Malta at all.

Airport was not Luqa airport Actors were not Maltese Hotel were not in Malta

Some overhead footage was of the Maltese islands yes

Terrible movie What a shame it was misleading to viewers.

I am Maltese but I doubt the main actors were really in Malta. The accent of the presumably Maltese actors is atrocious. It seems arabic but it is good to know that we Maltese people have a good English accent. The amazing panoramic views are definitely Maltese. Also, during the Christmas holidays it is quite cold but ironically the main actress had a dip in the pool and most of the actors wore short-sleeved clothes. I believe that more research about the Maltese culture should have been done before the movie was made. I enjoyed it solely because I am Maltese.

First no direct flight from usa to malta airoprt was not malta hotel was not on malta

produders shuld ahve studied malta a lot more to create an authntic film.

I get the feeling that some people had the idea: "Let's make a movie about Malta" ... and that's as far as they got.

There is no real story here. Girl meets boy. Sparks don't fly. Contrivance follows. They get together.

There are some nice beauty shots of Malta. But the movie clearly wasn't filmed anywhere close. Most shots look like somebody's neighborhood in upstate New York.

Production values are very limited. A new low in cheap is reached by having a character talk to her phone, instead of showing any action.

Can't comment on the acting. The script is so anemic that most instruction manuals are more exciting. Not much to work with there!

Your average Hallmark movie looks like Gone With the Wind compared to this snoozer. Get a travel video about Malta instead.
