Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

FULL DISCLAIMER: I have a thing for Ryan Paevey. This entire review is probably slanted because of this. Please keep that in mind as I give a quick recap and my full two cents. 😉

Quick Re-Cap

Josh and Hannah are both dumped on their wedding day. They run into each other outside the church and encourage each other to go on their honeymoons. They wind up honeymooning in the same location and continue to run into each other until they decide to spend their vacation together.

My Two Cents

I loved everything about this movie! Hawaii, turtles, dolphins, an adorably funny meet cute, frequently shirtless RYAN freaking PAEVEY, ASHLEY WILLIAMS, and so much more. Even a bit of magic 😉

Of course, I’m not talking about actual magic. I’m talking about the magic of fate. I loved the data driven and statistically sensible actuary becoming speechless and spontaneous around Josh. By the end, even Hannah couldn’t deny there’s sometimes a higher power helping two people come together.

Beyond the magic of fate, I really liked how this movie explored what it means to love someone and be in love with someone. Also, how it’s okay to have conflicting emotions. Someone told Hannah, “You have the right to be really mad and really sad, sometimes at the same time.” – I really loved this advice. It’s so true. Sometimes we feel so many emotions at once and they’re all okay.

There’s no right or wrong with emotions, but there is an actress who is spectacular at displaying her emotions! I love Ashley’s over the top facial expressions and reactions paired with Ryan’s solidness. I was worried these two wouldn’t be a good match, but I was very pleasantly surprised! They were so cute together!

I’ve waited this whole review to have this freak out…Ryan Paevey with his shirt off on a beach!! 100,000% yes! I would see that EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. If there was no other reason to like this movie, that would be it!

Did you watch this movie? Let me know what you thought! Leave a comment!

  1. I too believe Ryan Paevey is an undiscovered MIRACLE!! His voice, his jawline, and now his chest 😳🤷‍♀️! I will admit he is the reason I watched. After viewing, it was a cute movie! Not a typical over the top lovey-dovet; cutesy Hallmark either. (Yes it is still a happy ending Hallmark!) It was one of their better movies; and the scenery (Hawaii not shirtless Ryan 😂) was BEAUTIFUL!!

  2. Loved it, it was like going on a vacation too. Gorgeous scenery, they really tried to get lots of Hawaii in there, even the surfing! Imagine how fun it was to make this movie. It was a great cast with great chemistry. The whole group worked together. Loved the hotel lady too, she’s got a future in comedies. I am sure people will say it’s an improbable plot but I don’t watch Hallmark movies for reality, I get enough real life lately. I loved loved loved this cute movie.

    1. Yes! I loved the surfing. I’m not sure if that was Ryan actually surfing. If it wasn’t, they did a great job making it look like him!

        1. LOL! That’s awesome! I was pretty sure it looked like him, but you just never know with CGI these days!!

  3. What did Hannah say to Josh after the kiss at their wedding before she kissed him again. I didn’t get it ie couldn’t hear it. Ashley has some great comic chops and Ryan was as always just perfect. Was the scene where Hannah talks about Josh’s eyes and ad lib or in the script? It felt pretty real.

  4. How do I find the tropical blouse that Alice wore in this movie?

  5. I loved this movie but I was distracted by Hannah’s face. It seemed airbrushed or filled with Botox. I don’t intend to be negative, yet I was diverted every time her face was in the lens.

    1. I agree. I kept stopping the recording to try to figure out what was going on with her face. It was incredibly distracting. It didn’t look real.

  6. Cute movie.
    Cute hiking shoes Ashley had on. Anyone know where they’re from?

  7. What did Josh text to Anna that made her laugh while talking to her mother
