Quest for Love

My wife and I were fooled by the relatively high IMDb rating for this movie, almost "7". However the story is pretty lame, the characters are pretty lame, and the script is pretty lame. What saves it and provides some entertainment is the location, beautiful Costa Rica. Assuming it was really filmed there. But wherever it was filmed it is a beautiful place with rain forest, lakes, and water falls.

Ethan is an author, his adventure books are successful. But his publisher wants him to appeal to an even wider audience by adding some romance to his stories.

Mackenzie is his good friend, she reads his manuscripts and gives him hints. They are "just friends" but we sense that she would like for it to be more. She is trying to work a deal for more Cocao powder for the chocolate business she works for, to fulfill a bigger contract. She has to take a business trip to Costa Rica and suggests that Ethan go too, it might help him be creative.

There they meet Lucas, a seemingly nice guy who falls for Mckenzie quickly, but she isn't sure. And when Ethan observes this he starts to get jealous and to realize how much he cares for her.

Not a very good movie but for us it was reasonably entertaining after a steak and wine at home. Streaming on FreeVee.
