The problem with this movie was casting. The story is your typical romantic arc, albeit a silly plot arc, and had the characters been more sympathetic, I might have gotten past insipid plot. But the lead actress is a spoiled, petulant teenager, lacking in the tenacious drive and talent of a true chef. You can't support her romance because you can't support her. You might think it's just the lines, but it's more the delivery of the lines. I felt sorry for her "best friend." After all, who wants a friend who doesn't put the same passion and work ethic into the job you offered her. Nobody. Nobody wants that nonsense in their lives. Nobody is a glutton for that much punishment so as to risk livelihood for such a poor friend. And, don't ask me about the hero because when ever the lead actress was on screen - which was all the time - you needed to close your eyes and ears. Just yuck.

This movie was not worth the time it took to sit through the Amazon Prime Freevee ads, let alone the hour plus of movie time.

The heroine was could not play off the intensity of her character. It was akin to watching an old Lucille Ball but without Lucy's flair and strength to pull it off.

That said, it wasn't the heroine that was the real problem. Her romantic love interest character in this romantic comedy lacked both romance and comedy, not to mention character. That was the real beef, the character was not developed so as to be interesting or charming.

It was the lack of character that made watching the movie tedious because you couldn't help hoping her real hero would show his face.

I'd like my time back for this watch.
