Una dulce sorpresa

It is the first word for define a hallmark film. In this case, it works because nothing significant seems can say about it. Sure, the star is the bakery and the girl. But all is well known. Or...unrealistic. It is far to be a bad movie, but it is not exactly the comfortable one. Something is missing . Something is less or too much. Sure, it is a decent Hallmark, with all ingredients and ornaments. But, it is only...nice. With few drops of indulgence.

Wonderful! Not often you see such a wonderful flirt with the romantic comedies of the 50's. Excellent actors and a nice story.

This did not disappoint! I watch a lot of Hallmarks movies and this was extra good to me. I like Dylan Neal, a lot! Sure, in Cedar Cove, or whatever its called, I like that even more, but this is a Hallmark movie and it was everything I've come to expect. It must to hard to create new storylines and bring in new faces, when the tried and true are so likable. When I turn to Hallmark, I already know how it's going to end but I can't always see how we get there. It's comforting and takes me away from the real world that is, often, not so pleasant. Thank you Hallmark, writers and actors alike. It's like one big happy family!

I'm not a Hallmark regular. Fairly new actually. I do love baking or cooking novels and movies. This did not disappoint with usual Hallmark expectations. The main actors were great at not OVER cheesing it like usual. The story was pretty close to the book. I really did enjoy the cute story and loved seeing a bit more diversity in the main co-stars friends at least this time.

What sets apart a good Hallmark movie from a pleasant so-so film , is the chemistry between the 2 leads. If you don't get that right then the film can flounder into being just a clichéd corny drama. Nikki Deloach & Dylan Neal are good actors and their dialogue is sparky, but there's little romantic connection between them. Maybe it's me but Dylan looks a lot older than Nikki (in real life there's a 10 year age gap) . The story had merit, about them inheriting his Aunt's bakery & transforming it into a cupcake bakery and all the hurdles, financial and otherwise that enter their path. Most Hallmark aficionados will like the film and it moves along well - just not much romance in the air !
