Beauty and the Billionaire

I like the plot and their Dialogues

Such a breath of fresh air! I have seen too many movies lately that are filled with indoctrination, propaganda, and unwholesome content. This narrative is far from those other titles. Beauty and the Billionaire is wholesome. Delightful. Funny. Absolutely splendid. I really appreciated the brother-sister relationship. I lost my brother two years ago. The interactions between Addison and Pete were so sweet. They were a perfect pair. The plot line kept me attentive. I definitely wanted to see how the relationships would form over the course of struggle and resolution. The highs and lows were well-timed. Nicely done by the writers! I absolutely want more of this. You struck gold on this one. Thank you so much.

The lead male is incredibly unrealistic. He's wealthy, but wealthy people don't act like he does. No one does. And this isn't just occasional bits of jerky behaviour -- it's every single word and interaction he has. He is completely awful. He is an irredeemable jerk, and for some reason, everyone is all too willing to put up with it. A bunch of sellouts acquiescing to the jerk. That's not a great setup for a movie. Obviously the plot and characters evolve in ways you can probably predict, but the opening half hour destroys any hope of realism the movie hoped to attain. The scenery, though, is spectacular. It kept me watching, despite the fact that the lead character was despicable.

Bon film !

Bon film !

Addison Burke, on vacation from her medical practice management job, awkwardly gets snagged in to help her brother who works for the boss of a billion dollar company. She gets to see the two sides first hand, of how the CEO mistreats his underlings, and how his people try to butter him up for future career advantages. The film takes you to St Martin where all try to make a killing buying a company. Written and edited by Brian Brough. The film was very well cast, especially with Sashleigha Hightower. Because the script with so much subtle humor, I had to watch it a second time to laugh again and process the pressures of uber-corporate life.

The only positive thing about this so-called movie is the scenery. It would be a great advertisement for tourism IF you could remove the actors. The movie itself is trite. Predictable. The characters are your atypical romance schtick. She's the strong, sensible female. He's the brutish, self-centered rich guy. I tried to watch it; however, I kept finding myself clinch my teeth to the point my jaw ached. It has the worst script imaginable. It is like someone opened up a book on what not to write and followed it faithfully. Even the interaction between the female lead and her hopelessly desperate brother is predictable.

There are hundreds of comedy romance movies out there and like the business themed background to this movie, the competition is harsh and tough. This predictable movie has its charm along with some of the best photography of an exotic place, St. Martins. One could describe this movie as more drama than comedy and it works well as this stuck-up billionaire executive tries to convince another smaller business owner to sell her business so he can acquire a special battery that would significantly increase this big business's bottom line. The eventual triangle between one man and two women is handled quite well, exceeding the typical problematic relational difficulties of other movies. The evolution of the billionaire is handled pretty well and the typical banter is scripted above average while the typical dramatic moments as required of comedy romance movie is intriguingly fresh, though it could have been developed a bit more. The editing of this movie also stands out, making scenes shorter with a nice bite to them, leaving out more wasteful dialogue. This rom-com is enjoyable, nicely muted, but does not break huge ground. It is, however, worth one viewing and taking the time to savor the sights and production values of this movie.
