Shocking news, the title is perfect because "The Baker's Son" is about bread. Who would have conceived that they could make a movie theme about the quality of bread coming out of a bakery in a small island town in Washington? This story is about a woman who owns a restaurant who is best friends with the baker's son and they have many ups and downs and twists and turns in their relationship, but don't forget they are only "best friends". Maybe she wants more, but he obviously doesn't. Or, perhaps by some stretch of the imagination he wants more, but the writers are very careful in making sure that he has absolutely no clue of his true feelings. Authentic situation? Not a chance. Good romantic story? Not really. Entertaining film? So-so. Good acting? Eloise Mumford is one of my favorites, please don't waste her talents by placing her in the position of sloppy seconds to another cut-rate female. She is the prize, she is to be on a pedestal for all to admire, and don't you dare think otherwise.
