I really liked this movie! Typical? Yes! But who cares? That's not why I'm watching it! The location was breathtaking! I love Rhiannon Fish! She was fantastic as always! Newcomer to the romcom scene, Mitchell Bourke, was awesome! Supporting cast? Fabulous! The queen was a tad over the top with her speech - to an uncomfortable level, in my opinion. (Not the actress, just the writing). I want a movie to whisk me away and dream a little..this one did just that! I will rewatch it again and again. It was sweet, I loved the friendships showcased and I loved the slight changes to the norm on some of the typical romcom stuff!
Your typical commoner girl (this time a writer with writer's block) recently dumped and a "typical" prince who happen to meet on this beautiful marine preserve and the rest is predictable. This movie has a slightly different bent in which the reveal happens earlier than usual and the resulting dilemma takes more time to resolve while the writer is confronted with more of a intellectual problem than usual. The scenery is gorgeous, and the pacing is competently presented. For those interested in the by now well-used rom-com story with a little more bite, this movie has all elements that romantics have come to expect and a tad bit more.
This is not a Hallmark movie but it closely follows the typical Hallmark story arc. Two single people meet and are attracted to each other, something comes between them, later they overcome it and during the last minute they have their first kiss.
Cute and authentic Rhiannon Fish (about 30) plays romance novelist Olivia. Based in Manhattan, she is riding the wave of popularity of her latest book but seems stuck, full-on writer's block. She buys tickets for her and her fiance' to travel to a tropical island but at the same time he has started to break up with her. So her good friends convinces her the two of them should go together instead, Olivia can use the trip as an inspiration for her writing.
At the same time Alexander, a prince from a small (fictitious) country, is reading her novel. They meet accidentally, then later they both end up at the same tropical island, she on vacation and he on a charity trip to help raise money for conservation. They meet again, they hit it off, but Alexander's mother, the Queen, has other plans and tries to sabotage the relationship.
The movie plays better than a brief description can explain, it is interesting and entertaining all the way through. A good effort for this type of movie, a fluff piece with beautiful people and great scenery.
My wife and I watched it on FreeVee, streaming on Prime.

It's always nice to watch a clean good storyline movie. Lots of movies have similar situations and can still be different. Thank you I enjoyed it immensely. The characters were played just as awesomely as hallmark or any other good channel. I thought they had good chemistry and it did blend very well.
It was a lovely story about a father son project, a woman resetting life and friends that care about their friends. As well as an overbearing mother! Ha.
There was also a conservation plug that was very much needed in our world today.
I would recommend it and I would love to see a sequel!! Bravo.
