    Pearl in Paradise

    Something a little different from the standard Hallmark film, and it works pretty well because of it.

    I liked the storyline (though a pinch of salt is needed with regards to some aspects) and the chemistry between the two leads.

    Good stuff.

    Enjoyable

    This isn't revolutionary film work but it is very enjoyable . Jill Wagner is fun and her character works so well. I also enjoy Kristoffer Polaha as he gets the genre. The redeeming quality is enjoyment and fun and bonding from characters in this movie. The drama doesn't exist but you are probably not watching for drama.

    I love the fact that these two within screen chemistry ar3 leads in Mystery101 possibly my favorite mystery series on Hallmark. Remember it's hallmark with positive stories. We all need them.

    cute story but copycat ending?

    This was a cute story with good chemistry between the actors. I liked it, despite the undeniable copycat ending that was too obviously close to another great classic romantic comedy that I love...did anyone else catch it?

    Loved it

    I loved this movie from start to finish. The story has all of the components I look for when viewing a movie: Inspiration, encouragement and an education. The two main leads have amazing chemistry restrained until the final moment. This story is filled with wonderful beautiful pictures and great characters. Christopher and Jill do a really good job of portraying a writer and a photographer each seeking something in their lives yet to be found. They meet up and set out on a search for a rare blue pearl. This story has a great message more important than any pearl though! Love is the greatest adventure. Also look for the junior editor who looks like a cross between Jude Law and Tom Cruise. Sorry! Just have to throw that one in. Enjoy this movie please if you love great adventures, great characters, funny scenes and love. True love that respects itself first, not sappy, gooey shallow attraction. Fans of Jill Wagner and Christopher Polaha will appreciate their performance. They will not disappoint!

    Sweet, Romantic, & Adventurous

    I love hallmark movies. Some are cheesy, most are predictable, but they all have love and positivity, which we need these days. This movie was a little different than the others. The leads had definite chemistry, so much so that they now have a mystery series with hallmark, Mystery 101. The location was breathtaking. The cast in Fiji was fantastic- truly wonderful. And the ending had a lovely twist. I only watch some hallmark movies once, but there are a few gems I'll watch over and over. This is one of the gems!

    • Trivia
      Filming was complicated due to the heavy monsoon, with cast & crew often having about seven minutes of sunshine to try and get a scene before they had to run and take shelter in tents as rain would break out for thirty minutes.
    • Goofs
      In Colin Page's article at the end of the movie, "adventurers" is misspelled. It reads, ". . .adenturers. . ."
