Synopsis

Based on a true story, American Marine Jason Johnson (Goselaar) is sent on assignment to the Emirate of Bahrain. While there, he meets and falls in love with a spirited, lovely young woman, Meriam (Nichols), without realizing she is really a member of the Bahraini Royal Family. Meriam, who does not wish to consent to an arranged marriage, knows her love affair with Jason is dangerous, as he is a Mormon Christian and she a Muslim. Her parents would never consent to their match, and so Meriam and Jason race against time to escape Bahrain and make it to the United States, where they can marry. If Meriam is sent back, however, her life may be in jeopardy.

cj82587 *Don't read if you haven't seen the movie. It tells the general overview of what occurred.*I absolutely loved this movie. Their romance was a true "Romeo and Juliet" tale that Shakespeare himself would've probably applauded. The hardships, the trials, and the faith they had in each other was amazing. The fact that they overcame each issue placed against them shows that love does, indeed, conquer many things. Here's a young woman, willing to give up her family and her old life to begin writing a new one with the man she fell in love with. And here's a man who's willing to risk anything and everything to keep her with him, even if it meant defying the Marines. The only sad thing to this fairy tale romance, however, is the fact that not all fairy tales last an eternity.
pinkparadiseangl I loved this movie! It was such a sweet love story. The actors are totally fabulous. Everything was great. Too bad the real-life story didn't end as well as the movie did. I was very upset to learn that the real Meriam and Jason ended up divorcing after 5 years of marriage. I suppose they just had too much going against them. But truly, their story made a wonderful movie. It was exciting and touching. I was so anxious for them. I think it also shared an important message about the status women hold in other countries around the world. I would recommend this movie to anyone. It was so sweet and heart-warming to see.
Masha Sorokina It was an excellent romantic movie. The characters are very vivid and captivating. The only thing is when I went on the Internet to find their story it turned out that they are not as beautiful as shown in the movie and they've divorced. After some time she started partying a lot with her friends at Arabic-themed and gay parties and clubs and she was ignoring her husband. They actually used to go to Arabic parties together and enjoyed the atmosphere, but then she started going without him. There was also a lot of pressure from her parents and government as well as very realistic threats to kill her. After five years of marriage she filed for divorce even though he didn't want that at all. Now he lives with his stepmother, who is also getting over a broken relationship. So there you go.
winky872 This is the best love story of all time! It is about a princess who falls in love with a marine, but is unable to marry him because of her parents and countries strict rules on dating and marriage..so you must see this movie if you are a true romantic and I am! So...write me if you have any questions on any movie...Thanks...Bye!!
