Usually a Hallmark movie has something good about it. Not "All Summer Long."
A girl with small sailboat experience takes over as captain and manager of the overhaul of a marine vessel so that she can fulfill her life-long dream to be the captain of a dinner cruise ship. Unexpectedly, the lead chef on the ship is her ex-boyfriend.
After overhauling the ship they never take it out on the water -until their first cruise, which is loaded with paying customers. Whoops! Turns out they have a Chief Engineer who actually doesn't know what he is doing. Of course, he isn't fired, he's just demoted to assistant Engineer.
Our female ship captain then goes out on a small boat with her ex-boyfriend chef - only to become stranded overnight in the open sea! Without communications!
Homework assignment: find 6-8 stupid things in the above 3 paragraphs.
Here's some more bad things: Lead male and female have zero chemistry. Insipid dialog that accomplishes nothing and lacks cleverness and naturalness. Unconvincing plot twist to save the day.
This is hack work.
