ChuckFlixs: Holiday in the WildBy Chuck VanHooseNovember 7, 2019This week on ChuckFlixs I will be reviewing one of Netflix’s movies titled Holiday in the Wild. The movie stars Rob Lowe and Kristen Davis. Kristen plays a former vet named Kate. With her son leaving for college, she plans a second honeymoon to Africa for her and her husband. However he ends their marriage abruptly. It’s in the first five minutes so it isn’t a spoiler. As soon as their son walks out the door she mentions their trip. He responds with I wanted wait to do this once he left. Then proceed to end their marriage.

She decides to go to Africa by herself. Once she arrives she meets her safari guide Derek (Rob Lowe). They rescue a baby elephant and take it back to a refuge to nurse it back to health.

Positives
The scenery in this movie was beautiful. This movie was well shot and honestly the best part of the movie. The shots of the elephants were great too.

Middle of the Road
Everyone did the best they could with what they were given. Rob Lowe’s son played Kate’s son in the movie.

Negatives
The dialogue in this film was cheesy but that’s to be expected. Netflix has become obsessed with this type of movies.

Kate spent 3 months in Africa then returned home to New York pale as can be. One of think you would get a tan working outside in Africa.

One of my biggest negative is a random bench. It was in the middle of no one and Kate would go there to FaceTime her son or send a email. Later in the movie they showed a sign that said WiFi hotspot with an arrow pointing to the bench.

Another negative is that when she face timed her son he would be in class and it would be the middle of day in Africa.

My last negative is that Rob Lowe’s girlfriend in the movie is pointless. She is only in the movie for 2 short scenes.

This can be a good cheesy date night movie.

Rating: 3/10
