Just Add Romance (TV Movie 2019)

Just Add Romance: Directed by Terry Ingram. With Meghann Fahy, Luke Macfarlane, Theresa Wong, Michelle Martin. When Carly and Jason, exact opposites, compete on a famed cooking show for the chance at their own restaurant, what will matter more – their culinary careers or their potential love?

“I preface my review by saying Iu0026#39;ve been cooking for a living for years and on the one hand I am drawn to watching any movie that revolves around cooking or baking, because itu0026#39;s a passion. On the other hand, most are so outlandishly inaccurately representing the reality of cooking, they become almost too painful to watch. That being said I could sit here and list all the blatant reasons this is one of those. Like their first day in culinary school they would never have been making souffle. The knife skills are appalling. Why did I give it an 8? because the list of errors is actually not that long. And the personalities of the contestants are bang on. And those 2 main characters have great chemistry (have seen both in a few Hallmark-ish movies. Great dynamic all in all. And taking all that into account, itu0026#39;s palatable as far as rom coms go. Literally like I said I critique every movie I watch that has cooking in it, and 99 percent of them are unbearable to watch. So yeah, if you dont mind the odd mistake or if you dont cook and dont notice or care, the movie as a whole is pretty entertaining both on a cooking and competition show level and a romance level. The remaining errors I will not list. because they are small, and dont drown out the plot.”
