La Recette du grand amour

I really enjoyed A Dash of Love, but there were a few things that slightly interfered with the obligatory "Hallmark Channel suspension-of-disbelief". Jen Lilley was really beautiful (and those HUGE eyes!) in the role of Nikki, but for a hard-working chef, she was almost too glamorous. There are a number of scenes where she's over a stove with full make-up, her hair down, manicured nails, and wearing high heels. I'm not in the food service industry, but does this seem right? Even when she's outside of the kitchen, she was always fully made-up and seemingly wore 15 different shades of lipstick throughout the movie. While Lilley did a good job of making the character sympathetic for the audience, this might have been a better opportunity for someone a little more "plain Jane".

And about this "pop-up" restaurant idea. Is it really that easy to procure permits and insurance for just a few days? This may actually be possible, taking into account the number of food trucks out there, but I don't know for sure.

Also, would 100% of their reservations really cancel based on one bad review? In spite of these things, I still enjoyed the movie. What will make it unforgettable for me is the usage of Sinatra's version of "The Way You Look Tonight". Priceless!

I really enjoyed this. First? Brendan Penny is my favorite Hallmark leading man and Jen L is always adorable (this time more than most though I couldn't stop just staring at those big eyes and not in a good way). It wasn't overly cheesy, it wasn't overly acted, I really liked it. I like that the conflict at the end wasn't another guy or somehow that they really screwed each other over or anything.

While it's definitely one of the better movies, there was also really nothing that grabbed me so much that I would be eager to rewatch. But definitely a great watch one time!

I found it on Amazon Prime with my Hallmark movies subscription.

The presence of Brendan Penny was the main motif for see this film. Because I know , I suppose to know his style to use the character and that indicates a comfortable Hallmark. And it is a comfortable one but in special manner. For chemistry between main characters and for fair innocent , ambitious, too talkative young woman - inner child with potential for be present in real life by Jen Lilley , for supporting actors and for Delucci couple or Gus, for the portrait of boss by Perry Gilpin or Kandysse McClure as Angela. It has the beautiful virtue to be more romance but, mixing cook, family, vocation, friendship in fair way, it is just a pure seductive film, honest at whole.

A film like a fire in the smoke from chimney.

What a terrific time! After a long, tough day, I sat down in front of the television daring something to entertain me. I'm so glad I stumbled on A Dash of Love on the Hallmark Channel. The whole setup was really engaging, the performances were spot on, and the story hooked us in from start to finish. I thought I knew where the whole thing was going, but the screenplay, by Judith and Sandra Berg, kept me guessing. Don't let this gem pass you by.

I loved this very sweet romantic kind of Valentines' Day movie. Hurrah to the writer's for making this one stand out from the pack. I thought the arena of POP UP restaurant events was very au currant, and interesting to me. Keep 'em coming, Hallmark. The cast did a good job as well, Perri Gilpin as a witch? Great casting & job, Peri.
