A Splash of Love

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.

The actors of any production, regardless of type, have a script they must comply with and deliver. A-listers, like Tom Cruise or Meryl Streep, are the only actors able to demand or ask for changes to a script or location or direction in film or stage. To blame any actor for poor lines, and his/her interpretation of those lines, especially an actress who earned rave reviews in an earlier show, is "shooting the messenger," and should rather blame the WRITER and/or the DIRECTOR.

I liked this movie for entertainment value though it didn't require much brain power on the plot or outcomes. The leads had good chemistry. I like Orcas and the Squamish/Britannia, BC area where this was filmed, so the scenery made it enjoyable.

I might have thought she was overacting a bit in her school girl glee; reactions in a couple of scenes, except that I have a relative who is also a wildlife scientist and she reacts the same way.

Female lead's voice is at times low and has the start of a smoker's rasp, and then it becomes nearly a squeal with delight which takes the audience along in the emotion - nice acting, gestures, facial gestures. The male lead was laid back and steady...nice couple to watch onscreen.

This is one of those movies that demonstrates why we watch Hallmark movies; nice acting, great scenery, clean dialogue and story, and all story lines get wrapped neatly in a bow in the last 3 minutes of the film.

An entertaining way to spend a quiet Saturday night at home...

I was really looking forward to this movie since my husband and I recently went on a whale-watching excursion during our Alaskan Cruise. Not enough Whale encounters to salvage this one! A Marine Biology PhD student "afraid" of the cold ocean water? No knowledge of how to scientifically collect water samples? During the first 10 minutes the female lead got lost using a paper map and was repeatedly doused by a motorized rubber boat doing donuts too close to shore. The male lead who ran a whale watching excursion business was "surprised" to discover whales in a certain place where they should have been anyway. The obligatory Aurora Borealis sky views at night. I agree with everyone who was irritated by the OMG teenage squealing of the female lead which continued throughout the movie. OMG is right!!!
