The main character was completely unlikeable and unbelievable. Besides her awful attitude, she is supposed to be from Montana yet has an accent more akin to NYC. Lazy direction and a waste of a cast. If you are going to have a character play an American at least get it right son. We barely made it past the food critic scene. I can assure you someone from Montana is most likely not going to talk like her or behave like that. Someone from the east coast might but that is like a different world. The lead actress has some impressive credits to her name but she might want to try an accent from a different part of the US if she wants to be believable.

Lord, but this actress was a trial
keylarobertson12 April 2024
The problem with this movie was casting. The story is your typical romantic arc, albeit a silly plot arc, and had the characters been more sympathetic, I might have gotten past insipid plot. But the lead actress is a spoiled, petulant teenager, lacking in the tenacious drive and talent of a true chef. You can't support her romance because you can't support her. You might think it's just the lines, but it's more the delivery of the lines. I felt sorry for her "best friend." After all, who wants a friend who doesn't put the same passion and work ethic into the job you offered her. Nobody. Nobody wants that nonsense in their lives. Nobody is a glutton for that much punishment so as to risk livelihood for such a poor friend. And, don't ask me about the hero because when ever the lead actress was on screen - which was all the time - you needed to close your eyes and ears. Just yuck.
Lead actress acts like a 12 year old brat

I wanted to love this movie but lead actress kept getting in the way. She looked and acted like a 12 year old brat. Poor acting skills and I guess the writer shares in the poor role. A head chef is texting like a high schooler, cannot walk down the street without bumping into multiple ppl???
No, we had to turn it off which is too bad since her pen pal and leading man were good actors. Love the filming and scenery.
This plays like a bad Hallmark movie including the age differences between the male and female leads. It's gross.
Foote should have insisted she could be smart and romantic not just play a school girl on a movie.
