Pearl in Paradise (2018 TV Movie)
9/10
Almost perfect.

You know what I love about a good romantic movie? When the guy apologizes for messing up (when it's a real mess up not a poorly written fake mess up). You know what I hate in a romantic movie? When the girl DOESN'T apologize for legitimately messing up by thinking the worst of the guy when he actually did nothing wrong.

Thus the one star docked on my rating. There are other parts that annoy but she has enough of a character arc to not be a Mary Sue.

All in all it's a good one. I like Kristoffer Polaha and Jill Wagner together. The makers kinda made the same annoying mistake of her character being obnoxiously pushy and arrogant in the first Mystery 101 movie (and the third and almost the fourth but fixed that one) but still love them.

This story is great for KP to step into a different kind of character with Colin and JW does a great job as the sincere if often selfishly unobservant Alex.

And except for the missing apology from her at the ending it was a very sweet ending.

I like it, I bought it, I recommend it.
