A Splash of Love

Rhiannon Fish's almost incessant screeching & rapid speech ruined the movie for me. Her actions were more like a hyperactive 5 year old rather than a PhD student researcher. Whoever directed her to that performance made a huge mistake. I'm surprised my ears didn't bleed. The whales were wonderful to watch & the scenery was gorgeous. What a waste,

In too many of this genre of movies, the two romantic leads end up sparring with each other until the second half of the movie. In this one, however, they display kindness and genuine fondness for each other. It was a refreshing change! I hope to see more of the same going forward because I don't think anyone watches this stuff to see couples acting like oil and water.

Some of the side shows and B-plots were rough around the edges, the science wasn't all correct, and I could see some bits irritating viewers, but overall I think this comes across as cute and charming. There was a realism to the relationship circumstances that I think many of us could relate to.

I tried to get past how stupid the female lead character was, but I couldn't. Here was a student studying for her PhD who totally lacked common sense. I guess the writer needed a cute meet set up which I could get overlook, but the character continued to act like an idiot. I really wanted to see this movie for the location and subject matter, but making the female lead an idiot was not for me. I may fast forward through it to make it watchable or just watch a nature program.

If it wasn't for the incredible scenery of this being filmed in Squamish, and the beautiful Orcas, I would have rated this lower than I did. IMDB didn't give any indication where the filming took place so I googled it and discovered it was in Squamish. I've been near there and I loved the country, the water, the geography, there's not much to not like there.

Oh yea, the movie. Where was the director directing the lead female. She was horrible. I commented almost from the beginning how bad she was. She seemed to be just reading the words off the script, didn't see much acting. I do like the lead male, but he couldn't do much to make this palatable.

So many HM movies are set in cities other than British Columbia, but the filming is done IN BC. They finally got it right, filmed in Canada.

Hallmark has been using the same stories & actors,where it feels unoriginal & so forth.. If you can fall asleep & upon waking,feel you didn't miss anything that's bad.

This movie not only was refreshing,the chemistry between actors was decent & scenes were breathtaking.

Minor issue considering why she was there,she acted cold often.. Male lead wore sweaters,etc & she mostly came across unprepared plus it seemed she wasn't use to standing in/being around water.. lol.

One could sometime watch,again! Worth checking out.
