My Movie Review: The movie is relaxing and stimulating the location set the tone as if you've went to vacation with them making the experience well better than your average Hallmark flick! Resort To Love is true to its title you've come love the resort cause of its beauty and nature make up for a good vibe as of to love the characters interaction the lively music is such a plus:) Resort To Love is nice movie it was real, the acting was excellent made characters real for me! Good to see movie with happy ending for all I do wish they would have made the brother like a best friend that he had in high school or something but overall this was well done with lots of twists and turns, great acting not mushy and not what you would expect as the location really helps to elevate' beautiful and its refreshing to see a film loaded with variety of people of color:) Christina Milian is so radiant thru entire movie as we know its assembly line romantic comedy, but Christina Milian she looks that good in a beautiful island scenery but what I did like about it that separates it from others its not over the top silly, they develop the story and the characters!
Critic Reviews: If you're looking to engage with the movie on a superficial level, it has plenty to offer. And if you want to dig a little bit deeper, that's there, too. Resort to Love offers a cute love story starring attractive leads, but it has the look and feel of a vacation on a budget. As uninspired as its name. To say that "Resort to Love" is slight would be akin to snatching a romance novel out of your closest friend's hands while she sits reading and sipping a margarita on a beach. Why would you do that? Christina Milian is hilariously adorable in this romcom about embracing closure with a former love! A fun, high-energy, film filled with music and lively characters. It feels like a Hallmark Christmas Movie, only without the Christmas. The ending romance was a bit unsettling, but Christina's bubbly personality keeps it a float. The problem isn't that Resort to Love is utterly formulaic, rather, it's the bland romance we are treated to that disappoints. The music was enjoyable, though. The "elements" of "Resort to Love" add up to a better movie than this Hallmark-lite romance-- pleasantly-bland star vehicle for Christina Milian!
