Movie for the evening It’s a typical Hallmark movie. Before us is a somewhat naive story about a forced relationship between two people who do not like each other, but are forced to endure because of their work together. Of course, after a series of tests, their feelings, having made a dizzying kulbit, will change to the opposite. The plot, of course, is banal, but even he was not the main drawback of the picture.
The play of most characters, especially the main character Kelly, was remembered for its unnaturalness and insincerity. Actress Eli Libert did not look like a producer of a children's culinary TV show. This is despite the fact that in 2015 Libert won the Canadian Film Award (Best Actress in a Popular Drama Series). Her dialogues are primitive, as are her actions. It was as if she was watching the camera rather than playing the role. The character of her character changed several times during the scene. Smiles at the moment when the plot of her character experiences emotional turmoil, weak excuses, which were more likely to say that Kelly wants to be begged (the episode with a friend before a date) rather than about the confusion of the soul. Eli Libert did not imbue her character, her inner world, in order to fully get used to the role.
The chemistry between Kelly and Stephen hardly seems real or plausible. The only positive thing is their relationship with children. The children's component of the picture really successfully coped with its task. The moments where Kelly and Harris help inspire children’s chefs to achieve great success are very convincing and in one breath.
Brett Dalton played the role of proud and pedant Stephen Harris. And let him also admire himself more in front of the camera, but it at least corresponded to the role of his hero in the first stage of the plot. Subsequently, Harris changes and this is evident not only in the plot, but also in how Dalton worked on his image. And even if what is happening on the screen was not believed to the end, but after watching the film, there was a certain feeling of warmth and comfort.
As a result, we have a fairly simple movie for a free evening, which does not remain in memory for a long time, but I do not want to review much.
