The Charm of Love

Must find a lovers stone or the museum closes; how lame. Girl meets bed n breakfast employee, very predictable. He is with island festival committee, who must save the festival. The myth of the lovers stone will bring in tourists. Extras in the movie make up for bad tourists. Girl gets lost in jungle...and is rescued. Senario--girl helps boy with festival, boy helps girl find stone and the same old ending as all other "hallmark" type movie But the dialog is just bad.

It was cute, but so incredibly unrealistic.

Those damn heeled boots she wore to go hiking in?!! I mean, what the hell!? ANY experienced hiker (and archaeologist) would know never to use that kind of footwear! And when they were digging in the sand, with a pickaxe!? Honestly, those might have been little things, but I found them so annoying to the point of hilarity.

I managed to make it to the end, which is something. A one-time watch if you can make it through.

Legend based on myth or truth? Of course. Maddie thinks it's true. At least she hopes it's true. The future of her museum depends on it.

Meanwhile, Fitz needs something to save tourism for the island he loves.

Thus starts the search for the lover's stone. And that's the story. It's not surprising they had to throw in Fitz's girlfriend to liven things up. It didn't help. I never saw anyone so unenthusiastic about proposing to his girlfriend and that was before he really got to know Maddie.

I was not familiar with Katrina Norman. I didn't recognize Tilky Jones but I had seen him in a couple of forgettable roles. The two had some mild chemistry. Like the story, nothing very exciting and no surprises.

The ending is more cheesy than sappy. I like sappy, but this was too over the top for me.

The lead actors are some of the most annoying I've seen & the storyline is similar to Pearl in Paradise which has far more credible actors/acting. The only redeeming feature of this film is the stunning location.

Whatever Up Tv is - they should find another genre - this film has a great and creative story and beautiful scenery but just didn't deliver when it came to script and cast - no chemistry, no genuineness.... worth watching just for the fun story but only just.....
