Holiday in the Wild

 

Holiday in the Wild is a Christmas romantic comedy starring Rob Lowe as Derek and Kristin Davis as Kate. On the eve of her second honeymoon trip to Zambia, Kate’s husband surprises her with a divorce, so she chooses to travel alone where she re-discovers herself at an animal conservation camp.


The story was a bit on the predictable side but it was still a well written and engaging. The themes about finding yourself and finding love again were great.

The vastness of the landscapes and the animals were impressive with only one ball drop toward the end, where it seemed like they where doing re-shoots and the green screen looked poorly done.

Rob Lowe and Kristin Davis had great chemistry. I hadn't seen many of their performances before this, as I wasn’t ever a fan of either of them, but I really enjoyed their dynamic. They both were great actors who were extremely likeable. Overall, the entire cast worked well together and I loved the diverse authenticity of the majority of the group

This is by far one of my favorite Netflix Holiday Universe films. It was super cute and heartfelt; even a bit of a tear jerker. A truly great movie to get you in the holiday spirit.
