Chris is not at all articulate when talking to women,…
Resort to Love Synopsis: Erica, who ends up as the entertainment at her ex-fiancé’s wedding after reluctantly taking a gig at a luxurious island resort while in the wake of a music career meltdown. Netflix rom-coms are very hit or miss (usually more miss these days), so I did not go into Resort to Love with very high expectations, especially as I did not like Falling Inn Love whatsoever.
