Un amour de boulanger

The bread thing was kind of silly but not too silly for me. I liked a few things about this movie, like the various characters from the town and the way the love story plays out, not following the typical formula. There were a few genuinely funny moments, and comedy usually isn't a strength of these types of movies. I watch a lot of these Hallmark romances. Often I don't finish them. I did watch this one right up until the end. But it's not quite good enough to watch again.

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!

Annie owns a coffee shop and loves painting. Matt is a baker and works at the family bakery with his father. They are best friends and have been since they were children. When a ballet company arrives in town and Matt becomes infatuated with the main dancer, the town seizes the opportunity to bring more tourism.

I'm kind of torn about this movie. I love the general concept, I have seen the actors before and enjoyed them, I love the small town vibe and specially, I love the best friends to lovers trope. But... it didn't live up to my expectations. I was expecting best friends slowly realising they love each other, instead I got a man who seemed genuinely in love with a girl who wasn't the lead and who, of course, didn't realise what was in front of him until he was about to lose it, and a woman willing to fly to another country rather than facing her feelings towards a man who has been by her side her whole life.

Which leads me to the following point: while I knew this would end well, there is a funny twist almost at the end, and you have no idea what's happening in the last 15 minutes because the storyline is going so fast. It was chaotic.

That being said, I actually enjoyed the movie. Brant and Eloise had great chemistry. I know I was supposed to be rooting for them to be together (and I was) but the characters seemed to have an amazing friendship, one of the kind that could prove that a man and a woman can be just friends. It would be great to watch them work together with another script.

Seriously tho, I actually liked it.
