Love on Safari

The story was thin but that's not rare for Hallmark movies. The lead male actor was neither attractive nor a good actor and that was the main problem for me. There was no romantic energy in this film at all and I've seen Chabert strike sparks with a plethora of male leads. That bit of poor casting really cost this film.

The animals, the scenery, and the South African cast were wonderful. In fact.

If this were a travel documentary it would be worthy of all the praise other reviewers have given it. South Africa was wonderful. Casting was great. I was happy to see Britanny Bristow getting bigger parts. She is really good. The only problem is this was NOT a travel movie but was supposed to be a Romance. The romantic leads were well paired, but the love scenes were void of emotion or "fireworks". It had the potential for 10 stars but without the romance it only earned 5.

The on location filming in Africa is the best part of this movie. Hallmark is transporting people all over nowadays. The story is typical save the place and fall in love thing and give up your old life. Lacey needs to vary her speech patterns a little. Sounds a bit chirpy. Didn't notice a real romance develop probably less than in other Hallmark movies. OK for

Beautiful location, gorgeous shots of animals and vistas, gentle romantic storyline with well casted main characters and the most wonderful singing by Cape Town youth choir as a finale. Would love to have the sountrack.

I will watch any Hallmark film with Lacey Chabert in it! It is always guaranteed to be a keeper. :) I really enjoyed the scenery which surprisingly (or not, lol) over-shadowed the storyline because it was so beautiful. The animals were so cool to see too! The storyline was cute, as I have said in my other Hallmark reviews, I prefer the storylines where two people meet for the first time versus old flames. This was an adventurous ride. It is best watched with a soft blankie (preferably with an animal print) a roaring fire (or video on your Ipad of said fire), and a lovely cup of iced lemonade! *Get it: heat because of safari but lemonade for cooling off! Enjoy :)
