Au cœur de notre amour

A simple, too familiar story of young career lady front to fails and a significant loss. And a legacy , high school boyfriend , a seductive proposition with some moral dilemmas.

The pretty country guy and his help , their relation and some presumed sparkles.

In essence, a film to see only for actors - indeed, Trevor Donovan is good presence for a Hallmark ( not ignoring his pectorals ) enough , in my case, for ignore or be very indulgent about holes or quality of story.

Muai is inspired location, the relation between her and him is decent crafted but it is real difficult to discover a crumb of chemistry between them. Or more than kind of improvisation in construction of story.

Good points - Branscombe Richmond, the house and the table.

So, sounds fair to define Aloha with Love as a pretty nice film. Can you real expect more ?

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.

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.

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.

The plot is not that original. It's another house-flip with the ex, but not much else. No highs or lows, surprises, or tension. I didn't think Trevor Donovan and Tiffany Smith had much chemistry. For one thing their one on one screen time was diluted. Donovan did not seem invested in his role.

This might be nice enough for people who haven't watched hundreds of these.
