Romance Retreat

Good movie!

Good movie!

It was very good. I liked both of the leads. It is always a problem for me when I see Amy Schull, I automatically think of Jodie Sawyer. But I digress, I thought the movie's plot was well done. There were a few production issues that I had. She was stuck into a closet and charged a ridiculous amount for it. That felt like a code violation. Aside from that, it was a good movie.

Amanda Schull so arrogant Stephan too cute.why are Hallmark worn and men so all about themselves. Why always Seattle,ChicagoLos Angeles and New York ? The other USA states are just as important.

I am indifferent about yoga , I am out of subject about.tech domain . But I like this film. First, for the crumbs of old fashion romance, reflected, in some measure, by dialogue. Second, for humor, the venerable couple having his role not small in that. Not the last, for the charm of Stefan , nice proposed by. Morgan David Jones and for neurosis of Dana , not bad acted by Amanda Schull. The bad things, obvious, a lot, the predictable recipe, like the fake end being the most remarkable. But, sure, it is Hallmark. And the film, saved by few drops of realism and, i repet, a tinny dose of humor - so, precious, Ian being includet , like the portrait of Charming prince of XXI century are just acceptable.

Then this is for you.. There are some excellent Hallmark films with established actors from the stable - this isn't one of them. If yoga isn't your "bag" don't watch it, because it's almost like a beginners guide at slow speed and on repeat, the original storyline forgotten after 15 minutes in. And clearly little was spent on the set location. The character of the lead had no manners, who taps away on a laptop during a yoga lesson ??? Whoever wrote this stuff obviously thought it was the norm, and funny, er, it wasn't. Amanda S is a good actress, but in this she did her best with a rubbish storyline and a script of yoga gobbledygook.

I found this a difficult film to watch and didn't get far into it. The plot was your standard romance fayre, predicable and inoffensive. The difficultly arose from the main character Diana Willingham, who came across as a deeply unpleasant and self centred person who treaded her boyfriend pretty badly. They go on a trip together which is supposed to be the launch pad to love and romance. The only problem is that I found myself hoping that the boyfriend either ran away or found a refuge for abused men. The underlying premise of the film was I'm sure meant to be interesting, but if you don't engage your audience in the first few minutes then you've lost them for good. This was a film with potential that was sadly not realised.

As zany as this Romance Retreat is, I also found it very relaxing - not necessarily for the yoga but because it's more like the small-cast lockdown movies I'm now used to. Despite the Bridget Jones style chaos, the lack of swearing also makes this movie less stressful than its Hollywood cousin. This in turn means the flick can be watched by kids - and the older generation is represented too, perfect for cross-generational households and therefore meets my usual criteria.

I don't know if they meant for this movie to be as funny as it turned out to be. I was chuckling throughout the entire movie. So the lead actress is dating a guy who is a yoga enthusiast. She is totally stressed with work and can't even relax in a practice yoga class. She was on her laptop the whole class. So he dumps her the day they arrive at the retreat. From there it just gets funnier. Loved the yoga scenes - they were so funny!! Watching the lead actress try the yoga poses had me in stitches!! She didn't pack the right clothes and had to wear these lost and found sweatshirts with funny messages on them the entire movie. The other yogis on the retreat were just hilarious. Overall I thought this movie was well-written and the cast did a great job. I liked the subplot about the tech investigation. I would watch it again. And thanks to this movie, I'm back to practicing yoga. 😀

I really did not know why someone had not yet kicked some sense into the lead character's head. She was so annoying the first 20 minutes and if I was paying attention to the early scene with a laptop in yoga class I would not have tortured myself watching it. if you like people talking in the quiet zone of the library then this is for you. I really did take 5 hours to finish this movie. it isn't that bad, it just isn't that good either. I wrote emails after pausing the stream, shifted files, downloaded some games, played a game and fed the cat. Namaste!
