A Christmas to Savour | Blogmas Day 9
What initially attracted me to this movie was that I recognised the love interest from The Vampire Diaries, and had never seen him in another role. But apart from that, I always love a cooking/baking-themed Christmas movie.
On a holiday cooking getaway, a chef (Britt Irvin) encounters a rival chef from her past (Zach Roerig).
I didn't like this movie. In fact, it's probably my least favourite of this year's Blogmas so far.
On first impression, neither of the main characters were particularly likeable, and unfortunately I never really warmed to either of them.
I never cared about the story or the characters. The stakes weren't high, we know what will happen at the end, so there were points of it that didn't even feel worth watching.
Most chef/cooking/baking Lifetime movies use the rivals-to-lovers trope, and this is no different. Though it would have been interesting to see this played into a bit more. To see these characters actually having to compete at something and maybe fall in love in the process. It certainly would have made the film more interesting.
There wasn't much chemistry between the characters, which didn't make the romance easy to believe.
Overall, this film and the characters within it were a bit bland. This definitely isn't one that I'll re-watch.
Originality - 2/10
Christmas Spirit - 4/10
Christmas Music - 2/10
It's 16 days until Christmas!
