WOW! I can see why everyone has been raving about this movie! I wish I could have seen it sooner, but my schedule and the movies play times haven’t aligned before tonight. Here’s a quick recap and my full two cents. 😉
Quick Recap
Emma is an amazing chef at a high end restaurant. When a renown food critic praises her work, her boyfriend/boss refuses to admit Emma cooked the food he ate, she quits. Emma escapes to Hawaii where she decides to take surf lessons from Ben.
My Two Cents
Definitely a must see! There is so much to love about this movie. I know I won’t capture it all here, but I will try my best 😊
First, I need to throw a little love to Lacey…She is an amazing and beautiful actress. She was the perfect lead for this movie. Plus, she had great chemistry with all the other actors/actresses!
Moving on to the movie…
I 100% support Emma’s decision for leaving Garrett’s restaurant! He was treating her terribly and she deserved recognition for her awesome work. I’ve been fortunate in my own life to never experience someone trying to take credit for my work. It would make me so mad. I would leave too!
A girl can only dream to quit her job and escape to Hawaii. Hawaii was so beautiful! The green/blue water, hills and mountains, and so much more. Every time I watch one of these movies, I want to escape to someplace tropical and lay on a beach for a few weeks with no plans.
But Emma didn’t lay on the beach with no plans. She met Ben and hired him for surfing lessons. Then met his brother and became a contestant in a cooking contest. Super fun!!
Speaking of Ben…I loved everything about Ben! He was handsome, sweet, and always supported Emma. He was insightful, wise, and taught Emma how to relax a little with surf board yoga. Plus, he listened when Emma gave him advice about moving on after Estraya’s death.
Then there was the cooking competition! Frankie and Emma were an amazing team. They problem solved issues without being mean to each other, bounced ideas off each other, and forgave each other for mistakes. It normally takes time to develop that level of teamwork, but it’s a Hallmark movie, so we’ll go with the flow here. 😊
I thought I was going to get through this movie without crying. Enter Estraya’s letter. SO. MANY. TEARS. You’ve been warned! Find a tissue before the last hour.
I definitely understand why all the Hallmark groups were going crazy about this movie. It is really good. Definitely see it if you haven’t!
