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.

This Hallmark romance was shot in beautiful Fiji, and that certainly helps make it a joy to watch.

Photographer Alex (Jill Wagner) and novelist Colin (Kristoffer Polaha) travel to the "Heart of the South Pacific" to collaborate on a magazine story about a mythical blue pearl. Despite their disparate personalities---he takes pains to keep every aspect of his life in order and she lives more impulsively---they make a meaningful connection.

The cast is wonderful. Credit Polaha for most of the humor in the film.

I suspect many viewers put Fiji on their bucket lists after watching this edenic depiction of the islands.

The story is good. The leads have chemistry. The scenery is beautiful. A bit predictable at times - but enjoyable. The actors from New Zealand and Australia were a but annoying - and the agent extremely over-acted his part. But it was an enjoyable movie. The ending is the best...

I love all of the movies Jill Wagner and Kristoffer Paulou are in. Pairing them together was Awesome. One of my favorites.

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?
