L'Amour en dessert

Another mediocre Reel One Entertainment TV movie. You get a lot of stock footage, bad cuts, bad makeups, no chemistry between main leads, barely any romance, unlikeable main character, very weak screenplay (the movie premise is moronic) and the fake location, but I guess Kelowna can somehow pass as Portland.

The only good thing is that you can watch the whole movie compressed in 2:26 min long trailer because somebody in charge at ROE thinks that trailer should show whole movie. The vast majority of their TV movies have trailer = whole movie which is bad on so many levels, but in this case it's a plus as it's save valuable free time.

Regular cookie cutter story line. Which isnt unbearable on its own. Seen many formula rom coms with exactly same premise. The difference was the characters actually having chemistry. If there was such thing as negative chemistry, this was if, and the lead woman's voice was so unbelievably cringeworthy, I couldn't watch without hitting mute when she was speaking. Scratching a chalkboard with nails is more enjoyable than listening to her speak. And mr pastry dude idk ive seen him in a police drama show, his performance in this was duller than dishwater.

Ughh. It was on again and I decided to give it another go, thinking maybe I was in a pissy mood last time or whatever. Same cringe.

Nothing special....if you enjoy romantic paint by the numbers rom movies you'll have no problem watching this and enjoying it but holy smokes what's with the lead actress and her facial expressions throughout the movie, it's like a bad SNL skit. At first I thought it was just me but then I read another review who pointed it out as well and I knew i wasn't alone.

Overall the chemistry between the leads isn't anything special but it wasn't your typical boy meets girl, girl falls for boy...blah blah blah It was a bit of a slow burn but again that's why I called it a typical paint by the numbers rom.

The main character, her faces are disgusting and let's not even mention the breathing in and out like it's literally her last breathe. Also her dramatics are so far over the top, she acts childish, seriously who has their ringer on during a meeting and who lets it go off for so long it vibrates off the table and your under the table. Also if you want to show yourself as a leader she should have never let the new girl take over her presentation she was giving. Be Bold and have confidence. Step into reality, this doesn't happen in real life do better jeeez. It's very off putting to say the least.

I've watched many of these cutesy rom coms. They are better than the news. God bless her, the lead actress (Stephanie Cleough)is probably the worst actress I have ever seen. Constant, contorted facial expressions are annoying and distracting. She had this valley girl, phony, sing songy, breathy voice all while raising her eyebrows and contorting her mouth in to shapes that are hard to watch. Nobody talks like that. The lead actor was fine, but there was no chemistry. How could anybody have chemistry with her? How could anybody have given her the role? I couldn't watch after 20 minutes. It was that bad. Ive seen better acting in community theater.
