I liked the movie a lot. What is the name of the song that keeps playing.

I absolutely love this movie!!! I watch it at least 2-3 times a year. Your heart breaks for Tess as she constantly hits road blocks that should send her into a tizzy but she keeps plowing through. You just keep rooting for her!

This is how a rom/com should be done, with none of the sophomoric nonsense, just good writing, good acting and the right amount of humor. Excellent setting as well

Uptight HR executive looses her job when they "restructure", Tess. Thinking that she could network and potentially get a new job she attends a convention in Puerto Rico. On her trip everything that could go wrong does. First she looses her phone, then her shoes, then her luggage, then her hope of getting a new job, and then a hurricane comes. She ends up seeking shelter from the hurricane with Stella, a woman she met walking a cat on a leash. Stela has a great back story. She is a widow who had a brief touch with Hollywood. Both Stella and Carter, a gentleman she meets on the plane, seemed to be doing their best to help Tess loosen up and live a little. Once she looses the suit... "Don't live someone else's dream. You have to find your own."-Carter "Ask yourself are you happy? And if you aren't, is there something you could do to make you happy?"-Carter. "You're too sweet to be a vagabond forever."-Stella. Beautiful island, gorgeous Vanessa Marcel, and James Denton...this was a sweet romantic film about pursuing something that will make you happy instead of pleasing others.

Everything that could go wrong went wrong. I enjoyed seeing some of Puerto Rico. Yes they end up in the end but that's not a spoiler for a hallmark movie. It just seemed like a waste of time and watching it was not pleasant. This movie is not worth watching.

I really think this is an awful movie. It could have been a blockbuster but with that main actress and that direction it is a total failure. All through the movie I kept thinking that this should have probably been much better with Sandra Bullocks or someone else who has the feeling for timing and that kind of stuff that they do when they act. But it's not only about the actress, it also have to be about the direction or the cut of the movie - they totally miss the timing of all the emotional punches, if you get what I mean. I'm really disappointed, since I think that James Denton is a good actor, but with Vanessa Marcil and director Bert Kish it is a total disaster.

Oh if only we all could just leave our jobs and go to an island. It sounds great and was fun to watch! It simply just isn't that easy.
