This movie on Netflix was a nice evening's diversion as a light entertainment. A wealthy New York woman (Kristin Davis), whose only son had just headed off to college, is dumped out of the blue by her husband.
To make things worse, the newly empty-nest couple in this movie plot had had a "second honeymoon" planned, an exotic African safari, so the suddenly single wife decides to go on the trip to Africa by herself instead.At the first hotel stop, she meets a seemingly rough and boorish local character at dinner (Rob Lowe), only to discover the next morning that he is her pilot for the flight out to the start point for the safari. But along the way, he lands the plane in the African wilderness to save a baby elephant, and she goes to work at the nearby elephant rescue camp, where she rediscovers her calling as a veterinarian, and slowly falls in love with the pilot.
It seemed to me to be a sort of modern Out of Africa lite, but with more romance and comedy. Recommended.
