Resort To Love
Manage episode 304681583 series 2869721
Surely designed to make you want to go to Mauritius, Lisa and Charles Adrian find that this month’s rom com is a lot more than just an advertising feature.
Resort To Love
Year: 2021
Screenplay by: Tabi McCartney and Dana Schmalenberg
Based on a story by: Tabi McCartney
Director: Steven K. Tsuchida
Stars: Christina Milian, Jay Pharoah, Sinqua Walls, Christini Pitts
Show notes:
Resort To Love is a really good rom com. It’s a solidly built, satisfying, funny, well-written, well-acted rom com with a beautiful soundtrack and dreamy locations. But would we pay to see it at the cinema? Maybe. We don’t know. We streamed it on Netflix. And how is it different from the great rom coms of yesteryear? Is it really so different from them? What makes a great rom com anyway? We are not sure. But we have some ideas.
