Awful

I tend to love schmaltzy Hallmark movies around the Christmas holiday season. You tend to see sane actors over and over again, but this movie contained many new faces. The best part of the movie was Loretta Devine, and the rest if it was truly awful. The acting was terrible, particularly the female lead. Wooden, self conscious, unbelievable performance. The male lead was only slightly better. Unbelievable story line. Spare yourself the agony of watching this train wreck.

Hallmark can do better than this.

We really enjoy the Hallmark movies. Sure, they are very predictable and if you a few minutes while you run and get a snack, it's easy to pick up the plot when you get back. That being said, this one was one of the worst we seen. Actors and actresses were annoying and the story just totally unbelievable. Interesting that one reviewer thought Loretta Devine was the best part of the show. We thought just the opposite. Way over the top with her acting and reciting lines. Nice to see new faces in the stable of Hallmark performers, but I know they can do better.

I enjoyed it but.......

As a New Zealander who now lives in Australia and knows about pavlovas (long has the controversy gone on about just who invented it) I do hope Brad wasn't planning on serving up the one he made days before Christmas, on Christmas Day. Maybe a day after it was made it would be OK but not after several. It would have been a mushy mess by then. Might still taste almost OK but would not present well. This was a glaring mistake for me but all in all I enjoyed the movie, the acting and the storyline. Not a bad way to spend 90 minutes,

Terrible

I love a good holiday movie, but the acting was not great, and did no one else notice that the bakers, including the two leads, wore THE SAME CLOTHES for what was supposed to be like 5 separate days of the baking competition? The "judges" had fresh outfits, but the bakers didn't. It was so distracting.

Trivia
Grayson Holt played a werewolf on the SYFY Channel's Bitten while Adelaide Kane was a cast member on a werewolf show MTV's Teen Wolf.

Goofs
Nutmeg, the scarce ingredient, looks suspiciously like cinnamon. Additionally, no self-respecting gourmet chef would use already grated or ground nutmeg in their cooking. Nutmeg is a hard tree seed typically grated just prior to recipe use.
