    A really good feelgood movie!

    Very enjoyable movie filled in beautiful Fiji. Really nice likeable characters and a very good storyline. Don't know much about therapy but hey it's a film and at least she looked like she was working. Well done team!

    Well worth watching

    Cute movie about a mean guy and the sweet girl who helps him change. I thought it was a pretty movie being on an island or somewhere exotic. Nice to see Brian Krause from Charmed too.. Well worth the watch. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 1/18/2021

    Feel good flick with a story and a moral

    If you are a fan of Rom Coms and Hallmark movies, you'll love Retreat to Paradise. The story and actors were entertaining, satisfying and believable (and not cringy). This will definitely go on my "watch again" list!

    So so

    Something is missing. The story seems to drag. The acting is barely fair especially Casey Elliott. The Jordan character is over the top mean at first and as too often happens quickly does a 180. The dialogue lacks life.

    If it weren't for the Ellie character, I think I would have given up. Melanie Stone is upbeat but not overly so. Unfortunately I just don't think there was any chemistry.

    The conflict is clumsy. There were hints and I think it could have been handled better.

    For some reason IMDb is telling me I need to be much longer. I don't really understand why. I see reviews that are less than a quarter of their requirement and I know I've submitted shorter ones. So this is filler.

    It gets better

    The male lead is certainly handsome but his attitude in the beginning almost made me turn it off. Fortunately I gave it a chance. He reminds me of an angry tiger with a thorn in his paw. Once we learn the deeper pain he's hiding -not just his physical injury, it makes a lot more sense. Ellie helps him open up and heal in many ways. So it kind of had to start that way. I enjoyed it.

      When Ellie is talking with Neal about Jordan, her backpack goes from worn with both straps to just one and back to both in a manner of seconds.
    • Quotes

      Neal: But something is holding you back and you need to figure out how to face it. 'Cause Regina and Dale and everybody else that you've made commitments to, they are waiting for you to move forward. For you to succeed. But they aren't going to wait forever.

      Jordan: So wha - what happened to 'focus on getting better and take all the time that you need.'

      Neal: OK and you're taking it, but you're not using it. I don't know what to say or how to help you get better, not until you want it. So just think about what you are willing to do to make that happen.
