Sorry Dylan Neal and Brooke Burns but this recipe about a family heirloom restaurant cookbook should have stayed buried forever rather than being discovered and auctioned off before another murder occurred. I felt the romantic spark between Maggie (Brooke Burns) and Henry Ross (Dylan Neal) was so superficial (right down to their sprayed hair-do's and caked on make up) that it became irritating the constant banter between the two of them.
As for Henry's elder statesman dad, Jim Ross (Bruce Boxleitner) running the father and son restaurant I felt his role was meaningless and he added nothing in the form of fatherly advice to his son Henry, nor any off setting intended humour to this supposed mystery theater production.
Overall I was disappointed with Dylan Neal himself, who had previously delivered more interesting roles and films, until this bomb. Something burned badly in the Ross's kitchen this time, and maybe it was the heirloom cookbook everyone was trying to get their greedy hands on, but more likely it was the end of film script burning by the cast.
I give it a 4 out of 10 IMDB rating.
