It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
I found this movie to be enjoyable while disregarding the silliness of the story. The beautiful scenery along with an attractive cast was a pleasant distraction that kept me entertained through the end of the film.Many of the plot twists are not unlike an episode of Gilligan's Island, if you need believability you're probably not going to watch this film or Gilligan. But likable characters and beauty make eye candy that escapism can be made from.So get ready for pretty damsels in distress, exotic local, evil villains, unrealistic natives and kick back for a bumpy ride.
This film is just those films that has everything in it -- like Comedy, Romance, Action and adventure. The acting is also good, I am a big fan of American Idol and Smash so I know that Katharene McPhee will be just great on this Romantic/Comedy film. Dave Annable on the other hand was a surprise. Watched him on 666 Park Ave and I've never thought his acting would be that convincing for his character on this film. The storyline is simple but you'll get hooked to it. I don't know why the rating for this film here on IMDb is so low. I gave it a 9 because it made me fall in love with the characters. Just give it a try, if you're a fan of romantic/comedy films, Im sure you'll love this too.
This is a pleasant and slightly predictable comedy filmed in Hawaii. The premise is cute. A marriage arranged for a green card for a Mob Boss's daughter turns into true love on a honeymoon on a resort island. Some parts are a bit slapstick and silly. It is obviously not a huge budget rom-com but it is still worth watching.There are some winning performances. Katharne McPhee is lovely and slimmer than on Idol here. She shows she can act as well as sing. Dave Annable tries hard with the slightly silly material he is given. Rob Schneider was a bit under used considering he is the biggest comic star in the movie. Kathy Bates is a little under used as well. Tia Carrerre is a bit plumper and older but suits her role.
It's actually a pretty nice comedy, with good cast, beautiful scenery and solid script, with couple of good twists. Yes, the facts about Croatia were ridiculous and untrue, but they weren't the main part of the script, or even very important part of it( it could have been any eastern European Slavic country )! Being Croatian myself, really can't see the reason to get overexcited about the fact that some people in Hollywood don't know geography, they have been known to make far greater mistakes in respect to other nations! So( to my fellow countrymen especially ) I don't think it's a good enough reason to trash a pretty good comedy!
