The Worst Film Ever
Logan Dodd
There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Fun story. Characters were likable but not one dimensional.

This film is a perfect watch for a Sunday afternoon with the whole family. The story is that of a TV producer and a chef with attitude, who get wrapped up in making a children's cooking show, work out their differences and finally fall in love! So the backdrop is the set of Little Gourmet, which is the show within the show. The challenges that it throws up with the producer Kelly feel very real - promotion, politics, diva chef, illness of the previous presenter.The transformation of the successful nasty Ramsay-style chef played by the handsome Brett Dalton is pleasing to see! The chemistry between the leads is completely plausible. Who wouldn't be tempted by a Michelin starred chef and the cute girl-next-door producer??The real highlight of the film is the children, who instead of being the downfall for the film via patchy acting, but instead they were a real joy! The acting solid and the stories moving.The film is pretty great: cute, kids, nice acting, chemistry and casting, pretty great!

Kelly is a producer on a cooking show for kids and when the host is injured she needs to find a replacement as soon as possible. She suggests Stephen Harris, a famous chef, with a famous restaurant who lately acquired a bad reputation so this show is the perfect opportunity to improve his image.I'm not gonna lie: I didn't have a good first impression of this movie. While I thought the theme was original I did find it quite boring and I didn't actually got into it after the first half.The leading actors deliver an acceptable performance given the characters they had. But I didn't connect with any of them. Chemistry? I'm still not sure. I got the sense that they got along just fine but I didn't sense any romantic chemistry between them. I did find two of their scenes lovely but nothing that makes me melt inside like some Hallmark movies have before. There were not any jokes, and while the ending was pretty predictable I was surprised there was no pre-ending drama between Kelly and Stephen.Why is Kimberly Sustad here? She has been in this type of movies as the leading lady and she always delivers.To sum up, this movie is not disaster, but I felt something was missing and I did not enjoy until the second part of it. Did I regret watching it? No. But Hallmark has provided much better material than this.

Ali Liebert once again shows us that she is as good as any other Hallmark leading lady.
Her performance was outstanding. There was chemistry between her and Brett Dalton.
Kimberly Sustad should have had a bigger part. The only thing keeping this movie from being a 10
is the presence of Jeremy. His part in the story could have been left in and his onscreen presence
left out, or better yet casting could have found an actor with actual acting ability for the part.
I have seen Preston Vanderslice in other Hallmark productions and all I have seen is more of the same.
The children were great. In spite of an amateur (Vanderslice) working with professionals, a really good Hallmark movie.
With 1 point lost for casting, my score 9
