Like the story plotline. Love that it's filmed in Hawaii. Like all the actors they did well. As an ensemble cast they played their characters excellently. The only problem I have in my opinion is that Taylor Cole is my favourite actress but why was her love interest in this film played by someone too young? I look at some of the photos from the movie with thr together and it looks like a mother and son especially the photo of them together in the jeep picture number 31 in the photo stills list here in imdb. Other than that which spoils the whole film for me (the age difference) it was a pleasant film.
Plot summary
A conservationist travels to Hawaii for her best friend's wedding and instead of a relaxing vacation, finds herself in wedding prep and helping the new hotel manager make changes to his family hotel.

Casting mistake
Hawaii 5-Casting-ZIP!
Hawaii is definitely the star of Aloha Heart.
Hallmark knows how to sell destination movies even with the weakest storylines-sad to say, this one's pretty weak. Watching it now and I swear they stole the Hawaii wedding plot line from Hallmark's Hidden Gem movie-also filmed in Hawaii. At least the lead actors were around the same age and had great chemistry.
Not the case here. Taylor Cole is a wonderful actor but too mature for the male lead of this movie even with the long hair extensions.
Hallmark has a problem with their popular leading ladies-they're all hitting forty and over and can't sell being the young professional -fill in the blank-trying to get that big promotion. When they do that they end up doing what Taylor Cole is doing in this movie-trying to act younger than she is.
And Hallmark needs to sign Kanou Goo. He's a keeper.
Leftist meets real world
A green eco friendly woman goes to hawaii to help in a friends wedding. The problem that comes up is all the Ecological faults that exist on the island. First its the water and how the plants get watered. Next comes the lack of EV vehicleson the island. The beauty of the island gets lost in the storyline of Ecological problems. I tried real hard to keep focused on the beauty of the island that is shown in the camera lense. The battle becomes real when the leftist decides to help the manager find ways to help with reviews. I gradually began to dislike the leftist in this movie and chose to focus more and more on the scenery in the movie. Oh yea, there is also a wedding going on.
