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.

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.

The female lead is utterly unwatchable. If some acting coach told her acting consists of making weird faces and exaggerated voices, she should demand a refund. By the time she delivered her 3rd line of dialog I wanted to turn it off and delete it. All I could think was What the $&#@ is this? Some kind of spoof? Is the camera going to pull back and reveal a painfully amateur production in progress? But, no. It was really the movie. What we saw is what we got. I can't believe some production company actually paid her to do that and call it acting. P. T. Barnum was right. There's a sucker born every minute. And then more suckers who are stupid enough to waste precious time watching this travesty.

Most of the characters were pretty likeable except the female lead. She came across as very fake and spent most of her time making weird faces and seeing how high she could raise her eyebrows. She kept moving her mouth into odd twisted expressions and even her voice was annoying. I couldn't watch the whole movie because she kept making my teeth clench. There was no chemistry between the male and female leads at all! The plot had potential, really a cute story idea but a more likeable female lead would have made the movie so much mpre pleasant to watch.

I doubt I will watch anything else that I see her name on.
