The movie is about a woman who has to get a new job at a restaurant. Long story short: she likes the executive chef, owner is a secret jerk who tries to steal her recipes, and they end up happily ever after.
The main character annoyed me at times. She comes across as one of those "born in the wrong generation" people to be honest. She wants to get a job as a chef, when she doesn't even have an Associates Degree in culinary. She also has weird cooking techniques. I mean candy in dinner dishes? Really? Though overall, she was too bad. I would call her a Mary Sue, but her obvious flaw is her stupidity and being too pushy for her own good (forcing a guy to repair a relationship with his dad).
The main guy was generic for a love story. They meet, love tension is there, they get mad at each other one or two times, then they end up together at the end. Not much to say about him.
The friend girl. She's pretty useless as a character. Her and the friend boy are both useless. They are only there to tell a few jokes and move the plot along.
Overall, the movie was decent. I wouldn't rewatch it, but I don't regret watching it.
*****Edit*****
I feel like I didn't go into what annoyed me about her cooking enough now that I look back on it. Sure I said I didn't like the candy in dish aspect, but it's deeper than that. I've seen many shows, with quirky/unique characters, put various candy and snacks in their dishes to give it a unique taste. Please stop. Just, stop... I promise that you can make a unique tasting dish without any candy or popcorn, or chips.
Examples: My family makes chicken and dumplings using a whole chicken that we season. We also use chicken bouillon cubes for added flavoring, with homemade dumplings and our secret seasonings. A lady makes great cornbread dressing by added ten eggs and her mother actually boils the chicken and makes the chicken broth to add to the dressing. A guy I follow on YouTube makes 5 cheese macaroni in the oven and he actually grates his cheese and adds eggs and milk to the macaroni to make it creamy.
What I'm getting at is, you can make a unique and great tasting dish without adding candy. I seriously want to punch whoever started that trend (not really).
Also... She is lazy and never puts in the work to make her dreams come true. She wants to own her own restaurant, yet she didn't even go to a 2 year college to major in business and minor in culinary arts. Like, why?
