Is Lost in Paradise Lacey Chabert's Best Hallmark Movie Ever? Full Review

Hallmark January movies are usually where joy goes to die, but Lost in Paradise (aka Love in Paradise) just changed the game. Hallmark stranded Lacey Chabert and Ian Harding on a tropical island in Fiji, and somehow, it resulted in the best banter I’ve heard in years!

In this review, we’re breaking down why this is Hallmark’s perfect apology for years of disappointing January releases (looking at you, Love on the Right Course). We discuss the undeniable chemistry between Lacey and Ian, the surprisingly smart character writing for Sofia, and the most ridiculous "survival" details that I just couldn't stop laughing at.

From the "Hallmark-style" plane crash to the pristine island fashion, find out why this movie is the perfect escape—and why we need Ian Harding in every Hallmark movie from now on.
