The Baker's Son

At least neither main character was a party planner or a corporate busy bee who buys out family owned shops. Everyone who is scoffing at the idea of magic bread needs to go watch Like Water For Chocolate.

I thought this was a dumb story line for a movie but I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I like Eloise Mumford but as one reviewer stated WTH was up with her hair. Eloise and Brant have great chemistry and I liked the ending of the movie.

This movie was fun and quirky mixed in with a little magic! I just love the HMM that have a little fantastical feel too them. The baking scenes were really nice. Lots of cute, funny lines that made me giggle. I would've given it a 10 but the ending few scenes felt a little awkward for me. Lol But ALWAYS love when there is no dead spouse, or old flame that didn't work out - so big plus for me! Worth a summer watch!

I enjoyed this movie! It had Hallmark's positive romantic vibes, but the story was a little more involved. The cast was good overall, with a quirky character or two. I especially enjoyed Eloise Mumford and Nathaniel Arcand (who isn't on IMDB's cast list at the time of writing this). I wish Hallmark would use these two actors more in future movies. I would watch this again, and recommend it to others!

I was hoping to like this movie. I like the lead actors and what's not to like about a bakery? That's about the only thing I liked about the movie. Magic bread is a silly premise for a movie. And the lead female's utterly childish behavior is counterproductive to the plot development. She's supposed to be slowly realizing she's in love with her best friend. Instead she acts like a childish, vindictive high school girlfriend. The older baker's fake French accent is excruciating to listen to. For the first half of the movie Brenda Crichlow does an imitation of the Queen instead of playing a convincing upper class matron. Whenever she's supposed to play a boss or a wealthy woman she sticks her nose up in the air and pretends she's a benevolent monarch a la Edna Mae Oliver. She's normally a good actress so I blame the director. The ending was as preposterous as the entire plot. Hallmark needs better writers!
