Movies like this usually come down to the performances of the lead stars and also on the chemistry.Catherine Bell is quietly good and her chemistry with Cameron Mathison works, but also with her screen daughter Samantha MacGillivray. This is a mother and daughter that has a little bit of that teenage tension, but there is obviously deep love between them.The story revolves around Will and Jessica being thrown together often with a bit of backstory based on ex-spouses.The setting is beautiful. Who can argue with Fiji, which is listed as the location.

This was okay. It had nice scenery, but it seemed more like an advertisement for Fiji than a love story. It just didn't hold my interest with a compelling or even interesting boy meets girl story. The actors were just showing up and running through their lines, and there was no real attraction between anyone. It was like an amateur writer had a checklist and hit each one, but did it poorly and without conviction or drama. And come on, the female lead & her daughter head all the way home from exotic Fiji where she met her husband and promised to return one day. This is to see her friend after she's had a baby. Really? I enjoy most Hallmark shows, but this was worse than a snoozer. Rating is a 3 for some nice scenery.

Outside of the location footage, this film offers an extremely predictable story without even a slightly compelling twist. Overly simplistic and without any real conflict that isn't resolved by a simple exit. Time is precious and this is somewhere between 1.5 and 2.0 hours of life you will never get back.

Jessica Tucker, a widow and doctor, is trying to juggle work and family. She takes a vacation to bond with her daughter, Jessica books a stay at a resort in Fiji and strikes up a friendship with Will, the charming owner of the resort. As Jessica and Will spend more time together, she begins to relax and starts to wonder if this island paradise can give her the life - and love - she's always hoped for. I'm not going to remember this movie and you know why? because it was a horrible piece of film that was badly written and directed but also the perfomances were bad.
