The Baker's Son

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!

The leads in this movie were great. The chemistry was there. The acting was there. But the story was pretty bad. With better material this could have been a great movie.

This movie follows the common premise of a man not realizing that his female best friend is or at least should be the love of his life. It does it, however, with a ridiculous story where Matt's bread becomes magically delicious when he's in love, but that is OK because it isn't meant to be taken seriously. I feel like the whole movie was tongue in cheek.

That only slightly lessened my dislike for Matt's narcissism. It certainly was all about Matt and Annie calls him on it briefly at one point. But up until that point, and when he inevitably repents, he is a total jerk.

It gets a little twisty toward the end and the last segment is total chaos but kind of cute and maybe a little funny.

Brant Daugherty and Eloise Mumford have that easy friendship vibe going but I wouldn't call it chemistry because after Matt meets the dancer, he treats Annie so badly.

Despite my contempt for Matt, the quirkiness of the movie appealed to me.

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!

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.
