Passeport pour l'amour

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?

Aruba is my favorite island and we visit every few years. I watched the movie for the scenery, which is so pretty and tropical . The story was formulaic and little chemistry between the leads. If want blue skies and blue seas and a taste of what the island offers than watch it. I'm trying to figure out which house they filmed at as I'd love to rent it for our next trip!

A romance movie that isn't sickly sweet and formulaic. The script is better than many and the dialog is natural, not formulaic and stylized. The two leads are good as are the rest of the cast. Don't know where it was filmed, I assume Aruba which is beautiful.

I saw this on GAC Family but it's older than that network, but it fits their model perfectly.

This movie is a slight variation on the nanny premise and in this case the nanny is accepted by the child without any problems. There really isn't any animosity between the leads but there is a ton of awkwardness early on. Unfortunately I didn't feel like that awkwardness disappeared long enough for there to be any chemistry. Actually awkwardness probably makes it harder to feel the chemistry than animosity.

The story doesn't really have any great highs or lows or surprises. Connor's history with his ex-wife unfolds so we know it pretty much by the middle of the movie. Connor's emotional scars from that are pretty strong and the inevitable conflict in the story is very predictable.

The acting is good. In fact, the actors play their daily roles so well that the dialogue seems mundane. I noticed only one good line about the windmills.

What stands out for this movie is the scenery which brings with it a little education about a variety of animals.

This movie is enjoyable for the easy going atmosphere and scenery. It is not exceptional.

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!
