I'd say I'm a moderate Hallmark movie fan and thoughtful skeptic towards the cheese factor. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. I liked the cast and their performances. I bought in to it all emotionally, though the plot was mostly predictable as usual. Chef and writer - my two favorite occupations to watch in these movies. The friendship that grew between the two leads made me happy. Loved the 15-year old daughter and her very authentic drama. Secondary characters were engaging, too. The setting was beautiful. The costuming was enjoyable - color and style. The camera work was well done and well directed. Too many commercials, but we can record and fast forward, right? Charming, intelligent, pleasant, and so relaxing during a challenging time in the world. Thank you.
