Resort to Love

Resort to Love is really a Hallmark type romance made for Netflix.

However Netflix money means that the film has been shot on location in Mauritius. Pretty useful to have a bit of a travelogue when the entire world is in some form of a Covid lockdown.

Erica (Christina Milian) is heartbroken. She has been ditched by her fiance Jason. Her hopes to launch a music career in New York has also been dashed.

A friend helps Erica out by getting her a singing gig in a high class hotel resort in Mauritius. Only to find that Jason is in the same hotel to get married.

His bride to be hits it off with Erica without knowing that she is Jason's ex. Erica also takes a shine to Jason's hunky brother Caleb.

It's a pretty light and predictable plot. There seems to be little chemistry between the actors. The comedy was clumsy, the songs were ok.

It was just nice to see Mauritius on screen and reminiscent to better times when I visited the place.

The music is nice, but there is nothing special about this movie, another one in the assembly Netflix line.

The siblings part of the plot is a bit creepy and the mother/sister comedic relief seems unnecessery, but it's an OK movie.

Even though the movie is not amazing, it is good to see a Hallmark type movie with POC.

It was better than expected with some cringe worthy moments. My standard for the movie was not very high from the begginning so I was a little surprised that I enjoyed it. Nice, easy , without any conflicts or unexpected moments.

"They" will continue to hate, but this film will be well worth your time! Christina Milian looks as beautiful as ever and does a wonderful job in this romantic comedy.

Resort to Love fell short of expectations, the dialogue was stiff, the cast had no chemistry, and the storyline terribly predictable.
