Grace, la meilleure pâtissière

Grace Stirs Up Success (2015) marks the acting debut of the one and only Olivia Rodrigo. This is also the first American Girl movie I've ever watched and it was decent.

Positives for Grace Stirs Up Success (2015): Olivia Rodrigo is easily the highlight of this movie and from the moment she shows up, this girl is just oozing with such a nature charm and charisma to herself. Now admittedly, I haven't been a fan of Rodrigo until October when I watched the GUTS World Tour on Netflix and since I've instantly become a fan of hers. I really enjoyed Virginia Madsen as Grace's mother and she does bring a bit of legitimacy to the movie. I did have some fun with some of the side characters. And finally, the cooking sequences were a lot of fun to watch.

Negatives for Grace Stirs Up Success (2015): There are a number of side characters that annoyed me with their antics. And for my final negative, the movie is way too long for its own good.

Overall, Grace Stirs Up Success (2015) is a decent enough movie for kids and if you're a fan of Olivia Rodrigo like me, then you'll have some fun with this movie.

Grace Stirs Up Success was a simple movie at it's heart, a cute story of a girl who discovers that her hobby can become a dream come true. For Grace, baking is second only to her family, and even with some relations living overseas and basically strangers, she can still find, and be, herself. I just wish they'd cut out all that giggling. It was sorta unrealistic and got on my nerves. And my sister's nerves; she had to go bake some cookies to feel better. From its cool pastels to warm smiles, this movie served up a delicious array of charming characters and a story with a surprising amount of heart. That just wouldn't have been there without Uncle Bernard. And a certain little je ne sais quoi...

This movie teaches the sort of moral lessons modern children's movies are expected to teach, and that's fine. The trip to Paris is a waste, though, because Grace learns nothing there that she could not have learned here at home.

From this adult's perspective, the movie, at 107 minutes, is also way too long.

As if it wasn't bad enough already - then they introduced Master Chef Junior into the mix. What a complete joke.

Grace stirs up success was a good movie and the type you can watch again. The only complain is that Grace is supposed to be 9 and she bakes like an adult and looks like a teenager more then 9. Another thing is if there family is wealthy enough to go to Paris how come Grace's parents don't buy Grace's grandparents a new oven. They don't seem poor not to go to Paris and have that rich house. In all the movie was good and it would be most interesting for girls
