Absolutely LOVE Sashleigha Hightower in everything she is in. It is a really personal story line and all the actors were very believeable in their deliverance. Sashleigha and the little girl were just adorable and chemistry was very authentic, Very personable movie. The hurt experienced by the male lead is real and transfers off the screen really nice. Although the storyline has been recycled dozens of times, their relationship grew and progressed in a great way. Really like Shae. Robins is another strong character in the movie and she is strong in most of her movies as well, really enjoy her also. Sashleigha is such an authentic actress in all her roles, I believe, because she is a phenomenal mother in real life. She is very genuine in her roles because she is very genuine in real life.

The two lead characters would make the most dull couple imaginable. If they went on a first date, I am certain they would end it with a handshake. It's a decidedly unromantic romance movie. If you squint hard enough, you might be able to see one or two forced sparks fly, but I almost want to talk them out of it rather than cheer them on. I would especially want to know from Amber what she sees in Connor. That said, the overarching plot and background scenery keep this movie watchable. I thought the child actor did a good job in her role, and her interactions with the leads were much better than is usual in this genre.

My summary line is sort of an inside joke my wife and I have. We watch Hallmark movies and a predictable feature is near the end we always get the "Hallmark kiss". Just one. This non-Hallmark movie has three of them! For a simple, low-budget romance movie this one is very nice and entertaining. The dialog could have been trite but it isn't, it is well-written and the main actors seem genuine, especially the 10-yr-old daughter. Premise is, divorced 50-ish man has to travel to Aruba for a wind farm project, being the start of summer he wants to hire someone to accompany him and care for his small daughter. He interviews 19 ladies before selecting one that is in fact a 4th grade teacher, off for the summer. The movie is shot on location in Aruba, the woman and the young daughter hit it off very well, the dad is reluctant, still not over the fact his wife of 10 years abandoned them. But romance movies have a way of working things out. Good movie, we enjoyed it. At home streaming FreeTV on Amazon Prime.

The Aruba location is beautiful and the movie enjoys showing it to you. It's like going on vacation. This is not bad for a Hallmark-type movie. If you like a low-key romance movie about good-hearted people, without sex or swearing, this is a nice movie. I want to give it more than 7 stars, but some of the acting by secondary characters was a little weak and it had one or two short cheesy parts. But most of that is at the beginning, and it got watchable pretty quickly, and I did care about the characters. It's predictable but can't really take points off for predictability because the romantic comedy genre is about a predictable outcome - that's what you are there for as a viewer.

Start out by saying beautiful scenery. Loved the environment aspect of windmills. Wish they'd spoken a little about animal safety and windmills. Low key love story about a damaged man and his daughter, Macey. He hires a teacher, Amber. For the summer to watch his daughter in Aruba. Amber and Macey spend their time exploring Aruba. Eventually the father attracted to Amber and struggles with his attraction and the desertion of Macey's mother. Not the typical drama type "Hallmark" movie (yes, I know GAF, not Hallmark), but more realistic. Lovely movie, great scenery, and loved all the animals.

This summer vacation-set movie is realistic, portraying how hard it can be to start over after tough times. The characters and their situations are all relatable plus, despite the tensions, it is really relaxing, setting a good example of staying calm in difficult situations. Sometimes you just gotta be brave and will have the most amazing time! Also, I love these small-cast pandemic-filmed shows - far more like everyday life for me than big ensembles / party scenes etc. All the actors were good, and I'd happily watch more like this. Big thanks to the film company for making it free to view on YouTube.

What a charming and entertaining movie. Good clean family friendly movie with a great message of love can overcome all boundaries. Granted the movie has its clichés, and pilot is very predictable, but . . . For all of that, you really get into the move. The acting was great considering the simple script that was given, and the actors had to perform fleshing out their characters with some earnest to keep the character becoming flat on the screen. The music is a little less to be desired assigning itself to just background music and swells to crescendos at the right time. Who said that a romantic movie has to be raunchy one?
