Over the weekend, I watched ‘Passport to Love,’ for the very first time, and I must say, it truly was GAC’s first ever sitcom of the year and I may add quite a good one too. In contrast to this, Hallmark has released about 6 other new movies this year. But does it really deserve this amount of anticipation? Did I find it entrancing? Well, let’s cut straight to the topic.
One of the lead characters in the film, Shae Robins, had the distinct pleasure of hosting this particular event on GAC’s Saturday discussion. In addition to this, she acted in the movie Destined at Christmas and its sequel Destined 2. I must say that I have not seen either of the above-mentioned movies, but I went back and taped them both so now they are on my To Watch list. Shae Robins is a new name for me, and I have only recently found out that she worked with Mason D. Davis many years ago in a movie called Identical Love. What are the odds that Brian Brough directed that movie too?
As he samples the attractions of Mo’rea, Shae Robins, who plays Nicole, a travel blogger, is already on her way there.
The ocean in this film looks pretty stunning and the location is also terrific.
We start to be shown stunning views of the different localities where the character traveled around the globe, for instance, I’ve never heard about Mo’rea but look at this.
Mason D. Davis Castillo is employed in a vacation magazine, travel relations department, and marketing. It was happenstance that Nicole and Kade met after they realized that they had booked the same house for rent on the island. Of course, they both start fighting for the right to be in one and the same spot.
Also, I can’t help but point out that I found the exercise of the two of them bickering at the beginning rather amusing. It was actually rather fun although not too exaggerated. We got to see who these characters were and how they were related to each other. But one thing I noticed right out the gate barely fifteen minutes into the film and which I was surprised would interfere with my judgment of the film as a whole, is the movie’s acting or rather absence of it was a bit deficient.
Again, I accept that I am not an actor, and I am even at the moment attempting to upgrade my own acting in my editing of YouTube videos (trust me, it’s difficult), but when I begin to note that I wish other actors would say these words since I do not picture even a play the actor whose role it is has performed to be unable to do it, this, to put it mildly, is not a good sign.
But nevertheless, I will not discuss the acting in this review for the remainder. I will say, that they did not really impress me at any one point in the movie, but there are some other highlights I want to focus on from henceforth.
Kade’s Boss I will begin by stating that I thought the story was in itself quite interesting. Kade’s supervisor blames the travel bloggers for the drop in the audience and sales and emphasizes to Kade that he needs to focus on Nicole and her blog. He plans on buying her off so that they can get her completely out of the picture.
During the movie Kade, he is still in trouble but there is a feeling of contentment he carries because he has the support of a travel magazine in which he has never been into other than the visual and photo shoots but now he goes on different escapades which we appear to experience through him There is the beginning part and it all resembles to this theme almost identical when he has a bit too much anxiety and we spot it when they went to located on a kayak and Nicole went off the boat and swam with sting rays and sharks. They rode on camels in Turkey and got lost in a maze in Scotland. And at last, he was riding a snowmobile in Finland as he was looking for Nicole who had gone to see the northern lights, a lovely picture.
Other places we encountered are the islands of tropic French Polynesia, the breathtaking hot air balloons in Turkey or the Turkish water and the unforgettable verdant patches of Scottish lawn.
However, unsurprisingly he is madly in love with her but is compelled to live out the great facade lying about the so called interests of his boss for entire movie.
This fit nicely within the larger picture since it gave the best chance of developing into that one particular moment where we all were absolutely sure that the truth would be exposed inevitably. So, when Nicole found out what Kade was up to and Kade didn’t even have to tell her that this was the case, her response was quite appropriate and looked quite natural.
Bramble House Christmas VerticalThe plot felt somewhat familiar and Let’s be honest I am a fan of Hallmark so I have no shame in saying that the place and the plot of A Bramble House Christmas is one of my all-time favorites, There may be differences in the events which make up the plot but bear with me as to where do I find the likenesses!
So in his perspective, A Bramble House Christmas as a backdrop starts with Finn taking Willa to a resort B&B with the intention of cutting off a con woman who is looking to swindle his father’s inheritance. Over time he gets access to more of her and in fact learns she is not a scam artist and that he cares for her deeply. Things get complicated as we know he has ulterior motives and has not told her the whole truth. So now tell me if they start arguing over this concept what are the enmity similarities?
Now bring it over to A Bramble House Christmas, the best part of A Bramble House Christmas has to do with the portrayal of characters and there is a minor difference with Winter’s Tale, Willa and Finn’s suffering with the truth was unbearable.
Passport To Love is an interesting idea of a love story, which is a perfect love drama movie. But unfortunately, the character development didn’t flourish in the story itself. The story goes strong but the actors are unable to do justice and transform the storyline to a perfect screenplay and bring out the very definition of entertainment. Passport To Love has the right components but again, the characters in the movie fail to show emotions that are needed at the right times. The turn the movie takes does not feel organic and the overall essence of the movie gets lost in the process.
So I am doing some video editing on a few of my recordings to cut down on the length of the edited video. I received some blank discs in the mail today. Previously I had used one without properly prepping it. I need to get some contemplative analysis done and link the thoughts afterward. It is crucial to keep the media relevant if emotions are to be expressed. Otherwise, I’ll be at a big loss in the end. The most common thing that people need to keep a watch over today is their integration. People can become over-reliant on sentiment but are deprived of ideas and reason, given how fast things are moving in our time.
The characters were fake and the acting was poor. In the movie, there were all the ingredients required to make an epic love story but I think Passport To Love did not live up to my expectations, from the beginning the movie seemed disjointed and failed to capture the audience’s attention. The humor was slapstick and was unnecessary at times. At for the hope, the film does not redeem itself in the climax, it still remains far too low on romance.
What were your thoughts on it? The only downside is that, although the Great American Family movie app allows everyone to leave reviews, I haven’t seen any left by anyone.
As usual, kindly turn off the speakers of the film and feel free to share your impressions of the film in the comments section below. I wonder how many of you will agree with me this time and how many will have the exact opposite opinion this time. I like having a good disagreement!
I guess that’s enough for me on Passport to Love. Thank you all for watching me and for all the kind words you shared during this week’s episode, it really means a lot. Until we chat about more of our Magical Movies next week!
