The two lead characters would make the most dull couple imaginable. If they went on a first date, I am certain they would end it with a handshake. It's a decidedly unromantic romance movie. If you squint hard enough, you might be able to see one or two forced sparks fly, but I almost want to talk them out of it rather than cheer them on. I would especially want to know from Amber what she sees in Connor.
That said, the overarching plot and background scenery keep this movie watchable. I thought the child actor did a good job in her role, and her interactions with the leads were much better than is usual in this genre.

It has a good premise which flings the couple together, but they don't gel and it's only Hallmark quick-fixit scriptglue that joins them together at the end.
While it's realistic that Connor is awkward about how to relate to a beautiful live-in help (and where does a responsible employer draw the line?) McConnell delivers a one-note awkward wooden, work-nerd characterisation throughout - what Sashleigha is supposed to see in him is beyond me (and we won't explore the 20 year age gap between the actors.) And if after all the years he's been working in alternative energy, the fact that he hasn't worked out how to sell his product to a reluctant public suggests he's a man of little imagination. No wonder his wife left him!
It's like watching a tip-top table tennis player try to make a match with a guy holding a tennis racquet stuck on the baseline - one hopes that Sashleigha has a more lively sparring partner in her next love-match!

What a charming and entertaining movie. Good clean family friendly movie with a great message of love can overcome all boundaries. Granted the movie has its clichés, and pilot is very predictable, but . . . For all of that, you really get into the move. The acting was great considering the simple script that was given, and the actors had to perform fleshing out their characters with some earnest to keep the character becoming flat on the screen. The music is a little less to be desired assigning itself to just background music and swells to crescendos at the right time. Who said that a romantic movie has to be raunchy one?
Love.in Aruba was a cute movie and shows the beauty of the Island. The only drawback is that it is focused too much on the theme of the use of Wind Power Turbines which is a FAILED source of alternative energy and one of the Worst. The Wind Turbines are not Cost Effective. The Turbines cost more the than the amount of energy that they produce. They are broken down more often than they are working. They are UNSIGHTLY A lot of birds are killed by the blades. The movie should have been focused more on the relationship of the people and the sights on the Island instead of trying to sell this Failed Energy Source as Viable, to the Audience.
This was a really cute movie there was a couple drawbacks though they focused more on wind turbines and when they to the beach or other places nobody was around I mean surely they could have used some extras just walking around so it didn't look so the main characters didn't look so out of place.

- TriviaThe Quadrikiri cave and the neighboring caves used to have Indian drawings on the cave walls. In the 1950's (not sure which year) a zealous American photographer wanted to take a picture of these drawings, but thought the drawing were to vague. So he applied some cleaning fluid to expose the drawings more, but at the end it damaged the drawings. Better leave it to professionals to do it :-(
- GoofsAmber told Conner that she and Macey stopped by the wind turbines and then asked Conner to come along to see the gold mill ruins. After the gold mill ruins the car broke down. Conner made Amber dinner and she told him again that they drove by the wind turbines. He acted surprised.
