Coup de foudre en terre inconnue

Watching romantic comedy is for me an escape, a way to forget the ugliness of our world today. Contrary to popular belief, this is one of the most difficult genres of movies to make. Unfortunately, lately, few movies succeed in meeting the challenge of creating the magic of feeling in love and making people laugh. The majority of Hallmark movies increasingly look like superficial products where the main thing is to please the majority of viewers; even the cast of the main actors is terrible: they often have no chemistry. However, I was pleasantly surprised first by the secondary actors who are usually simple extras who add nothing to the story. Then the main actors are really good together, the story is told well and some moments are funny and some are really romantic. I really enjoyed the movie.

I was so excited for this movie because I love the main actors but this movie ended up being so boring. I only watched till the end because of two of my favorite actors. The "goat" embarrassment was stupid to ruin the main actors dreams for so many years. I listened to the "Deck the Halls" podcast and the screen writer said they "Up'd" the comedy. What?!?! My favorite HMM make me laugh or giggle at the characters but this one? No laughing, just boring... Oh, and the side characters drinking in the chairs? Ackward and unhappy.

I felt they didn't take advantage of Hawaii either. They could've entered a sand castle competition together or against each other! They could've went boogie boarding, kayaking, hiking, mixed drink competition, limbo contest!!! Grass shirt lessons, pineapple picking..... So much opportunity for a fun, romantic movie!

Love these two together. Fun story. Great scenery.

Awful, not worth my reviewing.... Poor match of a couple...

Could not finish watching,, so boring!

Could be it better ? Obvious. Because the all recipe is reduced at actors and Hawaii. And, no doubts, Pascal Hutton,Kavan Smith,Jennifer Aspen and Valen Ahlo are just inspired options. But it is far to be enough.

The story is a continuous line. You know the end but it is so forced than you are more than disappointed . Because the potential offered by Hawaii is pure wasted. And the nice exposure of the vulnerability of characters becomes fake.

So, could be better with little some effort.
