girl gives lead woman her Christmas pres 2 weeks before Christmas?
so tired of the same one dimensional frigid lead female. People tend to be nice with a dark side or vice versa. And showing one dimensional characters in movies really kills credibility.
Competition worker drops bread on floor and puts back on shelf? wtf?
One minute the 2 are still quarelling and after commercial break they're giggling and making truffles and feeding each other chocolate at his house? I think a chunk is missing.
17 min mark shes' opening door for customers and she flips sign over twice.
last night of calendar she opens note at 4pm when it was lunch time all week.
the accent is so unbelievably horrid, like a car accident on the road you cant help watch.
The reason I torture myself on tihs is because I cook for a living and feel compelled to watch cook/bake themed movies, if nothing else but to see how unreal they are. Zero baking in this movie, no aprons, no mess, no prep. Just 2 girls standing at a counter chatting all day....really fake story.
In addition to all those holes, the movie lacked depth in character development with any other actors. A good movie has focus on main characters but also on side ones.
Zero stars if I could.
Like the other reviewer, I have the same opinion. It had the potential to be really good but I couldn't get over the fact the guy had a completely made up French accent. There really was no need for it. He actually seemed like a sinister character instead of the love interest because his accent was so obviously fake.
The owner and baker of a bakery but we never see her in the kitchen? The bakery opens sometime late in the morning? Treats and goodies just magically appear on all the shelves? I would also like to know why - in these Christmas movies, the female is always bratty and high strung; the male is calm and condescending. This movie exemplifies the millennials in our company, I guess. Elves will do the real work and it's okay to be bratty if you look precious.
It's a usual sappy Christmas movie, but I thought it was cute! I liked the mystery of the calendar and the rivalry between the bakers. Laura Bell Bundy reminds me of Doris Day. She's adorable!
