While taking a break from my reality show binges (my latest one being The Repair Shop!) I decided to watch a movie that my sis recommended to me – Holiday in the Wild. It had been on my radar since it has one of my favorite pieces of Man Candy – Rob Lowe. He is so handsome and age hasn’t diminished how good-looking Rob is.
Holiday in the Wild is about a Kate Conrad whose husband surprises here with “I don’t love you anymore” on the eve of a safari intended to be a second honeymoon. When Kate heads on the safari alone, she encounters bush pilot Derek Hollister (Rob Lowe) and finds herself abandoning her safari plans to instead assist at an elephant rescue shelter when Derek detours to assist an orphaned elephant whose mother was murdered by poachers.
Kate’s journey becomes one of self-discovery as she uses her veterinary skills to assist at the shelter and also to help her college-age son through his own passage into adulthood. Of course, there may be a bit of romance involved as well as Kate and Derek find out more about each other as they spend time at the shelter.
Holiday in the Wild is a fun and romantic story. I recommend it to fans of romance movies as well as feel-good stories with animals (not to mention the gorgeous Rob Lowe!).
Holiday in the Wild is available on Netflix.
