Les braises d'une romance

A cute story with attractive stars. Somewhat predictable, but very entertaining.

Good acting and plot. It entertaining and hallmarks movie.

The, well, hallmark of Hallmark movies are sweetly predictable plot lines and this one is no different. But what sets it apart is the easy, natural acting from all the principle characters (Marc Blucas in particular) and the chemistry between the two leads. I also appreciate that, despite the two leads competing against each other in a cook off, it's all just light, friendly banter. There are also no weird love triangles, no jealous exes, and no one getting jilted. It's a delightfully fluffy, feel good watch!

Great happy movie - it's not easy to get a good work life balance, but this story inspires doing just that.

You get these sense that these leads could do this sort of film in their sleep, but getting a Hallmark film right isn't easy after all.

I thought this was one of the better efforts, sticking closely to the tried and tested story formula. There were some lovely moments along the way, and a nice story is being told.

Both the leads are engaging, and seem to have good chemistry, while the storyline just about holds up too.

I thought this was enjoyable enough fun from Hallmark overall. While deviation from the standard format is needed and welcomed at times, equally you can't go wrong with the right people in the right sort of roles telling a sweet story.
