Sun, Sand & Romance

6.8 stars.

Helfer and Campbell have what I like to call forced attraction and it's obvious they are trying to be sincere. I enjoy both actors a lot, and I think they are very well developed as likable personalities in this movie, but the romance is too forced and then later it's too nonchalant.

I felt some tension at the beginning of the film but as time passed the x-ractor went right out the door. Hard to explain, just that down the line something went awry. I think it had to do with potential kisses that were awkwardly stopped short, but for no reason. It almost felt as if there was actually no attraction, a big no-no. That's ok, the sun, sand and entertainment were enough to keep me watching until the end.

The other guy is a very handsome driven man who is trying to secure her as his trophy wife, mainly for business reasons. She takes a bit too long to realize this, but I think that's part of the story. All said and done it's probably bad directing that led to 'Sun, Sand & Romance' only achieving average status.
