Movie #1796 ........................."Holiday in the Wild"

Movie #1796 "Holiday in the Wild"  --- netflix  streaming --- a little step above Hallmark, but I don't think you can probably tell --- the only big difference is that the third character in this film is Africa and esp. an elephant they nurse to good health.  The film has a typical Hallmark plot, which is fine, except Africa brings in the main conflict (will she stay there with a  college age son back in the states?) and can she survive in the "wild"?  There's not much more to the story but Kristin Davis and Rob Lowe elevate the script , and with their winning personalities they are able to pull it off.  I liked it, but mot very deep --- just a nice breezy love story with drop dead gorgeous scenery, and if you love animals........ you'll love it.  I give int 3.5 out of 5.
