The Enchanted Christmas Cake

Am I missing something? It SHOWED the piece of paper with the "MA..." on the bottom. It's just a list of ingredients; it doesn't say how much of each to use, how long to cook, what temperature, etc. So how could anybody use it to make this cake? Seems like a pretty important plot point for everybody involved (writers, director, cast) to miss.

I initially tuned in for Erica Durance, but I couldn't even last 15 minutes. Not worth my time. Lifetime Christmas movies are lackluster compared to Hallmark Christmas movies. They aren't as good.

Erica Durance is a much better actress than her performance she gave here. As you can see in many other reviews, her hair is a hot mess to the point of being distracting. I actually had to look up her real age as the overall styling, including her wardrobe, makes her appear so much older and just sort of makes the whole plot fall apart.

Robin Dunne, as Gavin, carries a lot of the dialog and brings his typical natural charm to the screen. Overall I think Gavin's lines are also scripted better such that Dunne's delivery is easier to execute. Whereas for Erica, as Gwen, has the challenge of trying to deliver on a lot of poorly written lines.

There was some fun, holiday potential here about the magic of finding love at Christmas that falls flatter than baking a cake during an earthquake.

No Canadian wears bright yellow pants in winter! Bizarre costuming. Vernon Falls isn't necessarily in Canada, but this movie was filmed in Ontario.

Also, totally distracted by the fake blankety snow and Gwen's inexplicable right-hand drive vehicle.

This is playing on Netflix right now. It's kind of cute but is just the usual formula. The hair is so bad. I'm glad I'm not the only person that noticed that. It seems like the hair stylist got one color of highlights and used it on the actors that played Gwen Gavin and her mother. The only person that decent hair was the actress that played her friend Becky. The hair of Gwen looks like it was fried when it got its highlights. Even her Grandpa had bad hair when his bangs were combed over his bald spot. Combed into a v pointing down to his nose. Let's not say anything about the toupee the character Dante had. Best way to enjoy the movie, is to close your eyes and not have to look at the hair.
