User Reviews

I loved this movie!

This movie to me is magic. I can't believe more people don't like this film. The first time I saw it,I couldn't take my eyes off of it. The story line is awesome and sweet. This is a feel good movie, with great eye appeal. The scenes and location, make you want to go there. This story is truly believable. I absolutely loved the wedding. What a great expression of their love, and what a great celebration of it. I loved the way they hid the cloth in the sand to let them find their reception. I just can't say enough about this movie. It makes me feel relaxed and good to watch it. It is just good, clean and entertaining, entertainment.
