Review of Rip Tide

Rip Tide (2017)
8/10
Very funny in spots
7 January 2022
First, to get to the best part first: Naomi Sequeira is really cute and fun as the "sidekick," as all Christmas romance films need. I wish her role were a bit larger.

I see come criticism of Cora, but actually, I thought that given the role of a spoiled me-centric model, she carried it pretty well. The nicest part of this is not the plot ("fish out of water" typical plot) but the story.

The story takes place "down under" and the Cora's character arc is slowly but effectively shown, from center of attention to the master designer in the background. There is a nicely-written secondary story of her mother and aunt's estrangement , which is of course tied up as you would expect.

I laughed out loud at place in this. The writing, direction and editing (pacing) were all above-average, and I recommend this film.
