Moviecut—Baking Up Love

I thought I had seen some bad films, but this takes the biscuit (no pun intended). The 'hero' is a self-obsessed narcissist with no redeeming features whatsoever. The 'heroine' uses tinned (??!!??) pumpkin to make her 'classic, fresh pies', and yet is so much admired by the town (why??) for her culinary skills. Add to this a painfully slow delivery and bizarre shots such as a customer leaving the shop and then a lingering view on a random crossroads, with the customer already out of shot as she went in a different direction! Plus the kind of evening dresses that are sold online very cheaply and one's truly odd experience is complete! Please - give this one a miss.

I picked this up recently at the dollar store, I thought my wife would like it as it looked like a Hallmark film. It sort of does, but also misses the mark a little. The main plot of the story is a bakery owner entering a contest for a money prize for making the best pumpkin dessert in Morton, Illinois. Which after watching this and looking it up, is considered the pumpkin capital. Throw in some friends who fall in love and religious overtones and you have this movie. Decent, cute, but not something my wife would watch again.

Bought it at the Dollar Tree - it wasn't even worth that much. The script is horrible and the acting is wooden. Sometimes these kind of movies can be tolerable with decent acting, but other than the starring actress, everyone was pretty bad. This isn't even CLOSE to Hallmark movie standards.
