Idylle sur une île

It seemed like the director was obsessed with impeccably ironed clothing - even when the leads were meant to be in "casual" beach gear, they looked like they were wearing sparkly new clothes. In one scene, the lead actor was wiping his boat clean in perfect, neatly pressed shirt, matching shorts and a crisp white T-shirt on. Not a speck of dirt. Just like an Omo ad.

Dreadful, predictable script.

Thank goodness for the beautiful coastline though.

The scenery makes this film worth watching with finger on fast forward button - advance to the underwater sceneries which are stunning. Great cinematography. Forget the rest.

My title says enough for my opinion, but I will add that many of the tropical background scenes appeared to be fake. They reminded me of the technology offered by Zoom to enhance the background on video calls.

As a non-native English speakers I didn't even noticed that they were Australian until I saw the reviews here. Ok, the accent of the grandfather was a bit off but rather then that I didn't noticed. It was easy to watch feel good movie, but indeed as most of you also said it had a lot of cliche moments. It reminded me of many other romantic comedies. Overall we still enjoyed watching it and considering the fact it was shot during corona times it was not too bad.

I really don't understand why people watch these movies knowing that they wouldn't like it when it really wasn't that bad. Then they give it a low rating. If you don't like movies like this- don't watch them. The first thing that came to my mind was that it was something you would see on the Hallmark Channel and not Netflix.

Gem is the Secret Gem!

Cheesy love story but nice for a rainy afternoon.
