Another day and another TV movie co-produced by Reel One Entertainment and Sunshine Films which suprisingly doesn't suffer from horrific technical issues. Few scenes have audio issues with somewhat problematic Jordan Sanders voice. Music score is passable - some good tracks, some not so. Several scenes have a bit too loud music when cast is talking but it's not on horrendous level like in so many Sunshine Films TV movies. Stock video usage is on bearable level. However, several times there were black dots on it, and I never saw something like that. Filming locations and scenery are top!

Amy Douglass and Jordan Sanders basically acted first time in this movie and as the leads right off the bat. I think they were fine like the most of the cast.

I would say directing is fine, however writing is problematic. This is the first screenplay for Rachel Benaissa and it's rough. Writing is overall solid, but for some reason, and I don't understand why, there were four scenes which were completely out of place for this movie. I mean this is mostly light hearted comedy movie with some added romance and those scenes are some kind of bad comedy / parody. Just few examples like scenes with Mary or at beach (lion scene). Those scenes also destroyed otherwise good pacing. I even used 30 sec skip function how they are bad. On the other hand, there is a good secondary story which had big potential, and instead watching more Sara and Stuart we got those stupid parody scenes.

In the end of day, it's passable one time watch TV movie which had good potential to be above average as location and scenery are top, not so many technical issues, and leads were good enough.

And obligatory don't watch trailer as it's the ROE one and for some unknown reason(s) it shows whole movie compressed.
