Pearl in Paradise

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...

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.

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!

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

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.
