TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
hmcsrpapo Your Hollywood directors do not know the difference between cultures, like Puertoricans and Mexicans. The music, food, sayings and most of all the dances are all wrong. Hint, for you so call directs. Before you direct a Spanish movie next time you might want to do your home work on the culture. Every movie I watch that has to do with Spanish people you so call directors get it all mixed up.
Jack Vasen Literally half the movie was one disaster after another for Tess. I don't watch these movies to spend half of the time being depressed. What made it more depressing is that the disasters were not the usual overdone parody of bad luck, but you could actually see them happening. Except for the cellphone. This is a common plot device, but leaving your cellphone on a taxi seat seems idiotic to me, especially for a woman who is supposed to be so detail oriented and organized. That's just it. I couldn't buy it that this woman was supposedly so successful and suddenly became completely inept. She whined, albeit briefly each time a new one hit her. She was so uptight, nervous, and overly fearful, especially about the hurricane. She was a totally unlikable leading lady. And don't even start about mom. Why would either one of them fall for the other? Except for the Bambo dance and a walk though the island, there was no connection. She was a basket-case and he was just a boring vagabond. Both actors were stiff. I was shocked when they started dancing in the square because it just didn't fit either one of them. Through the entire movie there were only a few short minutes of any kind of joy.
tomjowestwater I really think this is an awful movie. It could have been a blockbuster but with that main actress and that direction it is a total failure. All through the movie I kept thinking that this should have probably been much better with Sandra Bullocks or someone else who has the feeling for timing and that kind of stuff that they do when they act. But it's not only about the actress, it also have to be about the direction or the cut of the movie - they totally miss the timing of all the emotional punches, if you get what I mean. I'm really disappointed, since I think that James Denton is a good actor, but with Vanessa Marcil and director Bert Kish it is a total disaster.
edwagreen Familiar themes of the work ethic, happiness and a trip with disasters are the major themes in this Hallmark production.A victim of restructuring in the firm causes a dedicated professional to lose her job as the boss's son doesn't realize her importance to the firm. On her trip she keeps meeting a care-free guy who has dedicated himself to humanity. Of course, we meet the wise older woman and her hard-driven mother, the latter being like this because her husband walked out on her years before. We even see the ferocity of a hurricane hitting the land.Of course, happiness over employment wins out in the end in this nicely done film.
