[adrotate banner=”1″]Hallmark pumps out original movies in a regular fashion, so it’s high time TarsTarkas.NET started covering their movies more and possibly even watching and reviewing them if I have time and space on the DVR and they don’t get in the way of the Lifetime movies. So in that spirit of “Sure, why not?”, it’s time to talk about Stranded in Paradise, the most recent Hallmark Original Movie, premiering August 9th on Hallmark Channel!
Tess Nelson (Vanessa Marcil) is a poised and confident human resources executive who is aiming for a well-deserved promotion, but when her boss informs her she’s being laid off instead, Tess is furious and worried about letting down her demanding mother, Mona (Cindy Pickett). Determined to use a business trip to an HR convention in Puerto Rico to score a new job, she is discouraged when the trip is a disaster from the start and an approaching hurricane makes it impossible to fly home. But, after bumping into a handsome fellow traveler, Carter (James Denton), Tess opens up to the possibilities beyond her desk job, and the couple’s adventures on the island bring them closer while the hurricane rolls in. With help from a fearless and friendly local, Stella (Gladys Rodri´guez), Carter, and Tess take shelter. Will Tess’ unanticipated risk lead her to a happiness she never dreamed of and a love that goes beyond a week in paradise?
Well, that’s a welcome change from being murdered in paradise, like you would have been on Lifetime! Stranded in Paradise is one of those movies about finding yourself that’s target to a more female audience. That doesn’t mean those films are bad, they just aren’t the usual science fiction/drama stuff. It stars Vanessa Marcil (The Rock), James Denton (Desperate Housewives), Cindy Pickett (Elf Sparkle and the Special Red Dress), and Gladys Rodríguez (The Caller)
Stranded in Paradise directed by Bert Kish (Snow Bride) and is written by Tracy Andreen (also Snow Bride) Check it out August 9th on Hallmark Channel!
