Resort to Love is kind of a generic, breezy-headed, low-effort vacation-based romantic comedy. It doesn’t try very hard, it’s filmed in a generic, flat way, and it has little to recommend it. But it isn’t the worst of its kind … Continue reading
I was surprised by this flick… I was expecting (and was getting) a pretty standard rom-com, one with likable leads and snappy dialog. I was having fun… and then the twist hits and I realized this wasn’t a rom com … Continue reading
