Trivia
The "Lover's Bay Resort" featured in the film is not an actual resort or hotel nor is it located in Nuku Hiva. It is actually a house located in O'ahu Hawaii at 1426 Mokulua Dr, Kailua, HI 96734, USA. It is also not secluded which is why they keep the surrounding area out of frame when driving into it in the movie. Unfortunately you can't go vacation there even if you wanted to.

Goofs
During the car chase the slide on Ernesto's pistol locks back, indicating that the weapon is empty. The next time we see him, he is shooting as though nothing has happened though not enough time has passed for him to reload.

Quotes
Brick: Such a tragic ending

nothing funny

Bryan Lighthouse (Dave Annable) is a pet photographer in Chicago and Tonya (Mena Suvari) is his clingy assistant. He is taken by a Croatian mobster after an incident with his wife's cat. Bryan is forced to marry his daughter Masha Nikitin (Katharine McPhee) in a visa marriage. Brick (Vinnie Jones) is the gangster's henchman. Bryan's mother (Kathy Bates) actually tells him to marry her. The girl turns out to be nice and normal. INS agents are on the case. During their tropical honeymoon, they encounter the weird helicopter pilot Ernesto (Rob Schneider) and his cousin waitress Lani (Tia Carrere).

I have never heard of this movie. I'm surprised at the good cast. The extensive cast is not actually bad except for Schneider. By this point, he should come with a warning. Funny enough, he's probably the only true comedian of the bunch. Quite frankly, I can see this as an Adam Sandler movie with all of his gang. I have never heard of Rob Hedden. He seems to have been a Hollywood journeyman. The main issue is that non of this is actually funny. Annable and McPhee are not comedic powerhouses. At best, they're the straight men in a comedy. They need an actual comedian and Schneider is not close. Also I'm a little tired of Annable. This is not so bad that it becomes funny again. It's trying to be a fun silly comedy and it doesn't have that. On the other hand, Hawaii does look beautiful.
