Aloha with Love

The movie is lackluster. In the hopes to project some romance, it casted Meghan and Harry lookalikes. That, however, doesn't help at all- it distracts.

Tiffany smith is the worst poorest actress ever. Her horrible performance in crying and drama scenes are awful. The sister Sarah Ashley Rodriguez another horrible actress along with Kralani Warner. Please take an acting class and if not stop being in movies. Waste of my time. In addition the boyfriend was also a bad actor who kept looking elsewhere. Nervous much. All in all the only good actors were the father and the contractor. Above all though it was Tiffany who is the Main character that just made the movie unbearable to finish. Does she even know how to cry on scene...let me answer NO! She doesn't and the drama scene are the worst.

Love the movie. Love Trevor Donavan. I have never seen the lady before. She did good with Trevor as her co star. A lot of the actors were new. I'm going to be honest I only watched it because Trevor was in it. It's not a show I will watch again like I do others.

Cliched plot, bad dialog, questionable direction... Trevor Donovan always gives a reliable performance, the rest of the cast are ok. There are better rom-coms to watch or re-watch a favorite one.

This movie was shot almost totally in Maui and the cinematography takes good advantage of the beautiful scenery there. It is a story of a 30-something architect from Hawaii working as a junior partner in her Los Angeles firm. She feels that L. A. is home now and has a boyfriend of four years.

Then something happens, her mother had died some years earlier and now presently aunt Lani, who she was very close to, has died suddenly. This brings her back to Maui, but only long enough for the funeral and family visits.

The kink is the will, aunt Lani gave her beautiful ocean-side property and dilapidated home to the two sisters, nieces of hers, with instructions to restore the home before they decide to either live in it or sell it. She also specified that the contractor would be someone who had been an old boyfriend of the niece.

So all that sets up a number of things, new issues arise, they have to decide whether to sell the property or not. This is actually a very nice movie with attractive actors and a good message about appreciating relationships more than business opportunities.

My wife and I watched it at home, streaming on Prime.
