Eat, Love, London

Ms. Foote is adorable in this Romantic movie about an American chef after bring cheated on by her fiance and running her parents restaurant into a mess.

Kicked out by her parents to basically get her #$it together, she visits her London pen pal, a London restrantuer and becoming her chef at a new Notting Hill place called Silver.

After meeting a food critic who thought he food was basically uninspired, they make a deal to help each others careers.

They begin hanging out showing London to this Montana girl. Giving her new ideas and helping her understand the wide and varied foods in London.

Of course, all the tropes for romances are found here and HEA is achieved.

Nice story but I just couldn't get past the terrible fake American accent. The plot was the usual hallmark style - easy watching, kind of predictable but sweet. There was the requisite developing romance between 2 individuals who have no plans or desire to meet someone or fall in love. There was interesting sites & scenes around Notting Hill in London. All together there was potential for a good movie. But all of this gets lost behind that terrible fake accent.

In this day & age of globalism where viewers know what accents for different regions sound like, if you're characters are from a specific area, you should use actors that are either from that area or can actually pull off the accent. Not use an English actor who does a bad representation of being an extra from Grease.

The main character was completely unlikeable and unbelievable. Besides her awful attitude, she is supposed to be from Montana yet has an accent more akin to NYC. Lazy direction and a waste of a cast. If you are going to have a character play an American at least get it right son. We barely made it past the food critic scene. I can assure you someone from Montana is most likely not going to talk like her or behave like that. Someone from the east coast might but that is like a different world. The lead actress has some impressive credits to her name but she might want to try an accent from a different part of the US if she wants to be believable.

The lead actress's adorable looks didn't help the acting. Or maybe it was the writing? I've not seen her in anything else to compare. I don't understand the purpose of dressing her and doing her hair as if she were a child. Well, I guess that it closely matches the way her character was written. I wondered the entire time it was on, if a different actress wouldn't have sounded so whiny and spoiled? Came the resounding conclusion, that it was 8% the bad writing and 92% the terrible acting. If this were real life, I would not want to be her friend.

It's very rare that I don't finish a movie, but I couldn't see the point in finishing this. I feel like the look on my face may have ended up there permanently had I watched the entire film.

The scenery was nice.

There was also zero chemistry between the two leads.

I love the london background and the tour around my coveted notting hill but please why cast actors who are clearly not into food or even passionate about it when u are literally casting a chef . Her hair is everywhere , she keeps this unified cuteness about her when everyone knows chefs are focused on ingredients and not a curling iron. The chemistry I blame on the lack of time between the love interests and I feel they could have utilized some of the lines to benefit a spectrum of colorful antic dots between the difference between American and London culture instead, they gave us beige, beige, beige dialogue and not enough silly funniness to make me want to comment better honestly I expected more. I love acting in Hallmark movies and I always try to change something to give myself a stamp on the show. Yet this one seemed run-of-the-mill bland. I wish that I was in the casting room when decisions were made.
