Hallmark's Missing the Boat Movie Review

We settled in recently to check out Hallmark's new movie Missing the Boat starring Emilie Ullerup and Kristoffer Polaha. At least we thought it was a new movie, but upon further review, I discovered it actually aired in January, 2026. Where was I then? You don't really want to know, it has been quite a year in our lives.

PREMISE   

Missing the Boat is a fun romantic comedy set on the high seas. Well, some of it is on the high seas; some, on land but the whole adventure is funny and surprisingly beautiful. Watch the following short video trailer to see for yourself. 

The premise, two workaholics struggle to complete their assigned work tasks on board a cruise ship and eventually miss the boat when they are on an excursion. What follows is a funny romp through various Mediterranean ports in southern Italy and a blossoming relationship. The relationship, of course, will come as no surprise to Hallmark movie fans.

REVIEWS

Viewers on Reddit enjoyed the comedy in this Hallmark movie and enjoyed it enough to call for a sequel. Score wise it only faired 6.8 out of 10 on IMDB but I think it is still a fun movie. Remember, it is a made for television film.  A viewer on IMDB called it Hallmark's version of Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Girls Gone Hallmark says, "It’s classic Hallmark adventure-meets-romance energy, and a fitting, feel-good sendoff to Winter Escape." I agree.

RECOMMENDED

Yes, I recommend this movie. Remember that it is a Hallmark movie not a blockbuster film but it is entertaining and scenic; a great trip for an armchair traveler, a good choice before a trip to Sicily and probably even after a visit to Sicily!

WHERE TO WATCH

Missing the Boat runs for 1 hour and 24 minutes, is rated G, and can be found here, on Amazon Prime video.

Is An Invisibility Cloak Possible?

After my recent Harry Potter invisibility cloak post I wondered if it is even possible to create a real invisibility cloak. I discovered this History Channel special quite simply called, Invisibility Cloaks in which the television show That's Impossible looks at the science of a cloak.

They say that humans have been searching forever for a way to be invisible and that this power is getting closer. Watch this program to see the technology that may eventually allow us to be unseen. It looks at everything from battle tanks and cities disappearing to camouflage and cloaks and discusses the good and bad of such a possibility.

According to How Stuff Works, we are near to being able to have the technology to make things invisible... 

Cloak of Invisibility - Wikipedia

Cloaks of invisibility are relatively rare in folklore; although they do occur in some fairy tales, such as The Twelve Dancing Princesses, a more common trope is the cap of invisibility. 

Harry Potter's Cloak of Invisibility

The world searches for the ultimate Harry Potter invisibility cloak and we found one. This cloak has been designed to look like the one used in the movie. Using an app, which is included with the cape, you can make the cloak disappear. Wear it with the patterned side out and it is visible; flip it around with the green outside and whoever is wearing it disappears on the screen. 

"Harry Potter's cloak of invisibility grants the wearer the power of invisibility."
