There were elements of the location and culture that could have been examined and developed. They weren't. The plot was superficial and remarkably aimless.
More crucially, the lead played most of the movie like she was a high school sophomore giggling her way to the prom. When she reached the de regeur kiss, the hero looked like he was twice her age, and the kiss was awkward enough to be truly creepy.
It's Hallmark. I'm not looking for Emmy Awards here, but this was substandard by any standard.
