I'm amazed that I'm the first negative poster on this film!
I don't want to start an argument with people but this was possibly the worst film I have ever seen.
NB Contains some spoilers...
I was looking after my baby on Saturday afternoon and this film came on but I couldn't reach the remote, I had only half an eye on it but the plot was so full of holes that I was cracking up laughing and had to watch more. The problem was that, laughable as it was, it went on too long,
Faults to start you off:
- the competition on the TV that says you MUST have a partner to enter but why couldn't his partner be someone else from his own bakery? Rather than the random girl who he'd have to split the much-needed prize money with!
- she hadn't managed to get funding for her long-dreamed-of own restaurant 'because she was a woman' but her boyfriend of 3 years is rich enough to have 2 planes!
- the uncle and the shy girl (who of course lost her glasses to show she was attractive after all!) getting together
- the boyfriend of 3 years books a trip to the competition venue but stays in a different room?!
- the evening social/dance at the competition where the two main characters seemed to dance all night - where on earth was the long term boyfriend at this time?!
- need I go on?
the thing that I was curious about all along was how they were possibly going to get rid of the long term boyfriend without the audience feeling he'd been hard done by, now usually this type of character is shown to be a nasty piece of work, pompous or gay etc. but in this case he was perfectly nice, and even after he had his proposal rejected he stayed around to watch his love win the competition - what nonsense!
He proposed, she flippantly said no and he just accepted it, hung around and went home.
This was TV-movie making at it's worst, I can't believe that I saw the whole thing!
