Baking All The Way (2022) -

This film wasn't really that bad, but the story had been done far too often before and with less notes made by me about the dodgy elements in it.

For instance, why does Colin Mochrie keep getting work? He was too much again and these "fun" characters have never added anything.

I was also unsure that Yannick Bisson, in the lead role of Kris, should still be playing a romantic lead? He had a really bad hair dye job for a start. He was better than he has been in 'Murdoch Mysteries' (2008-) though.

And the leading lady, Cory Lee, as Julia got a hotel to spend two nights in a town that was only two hours away in order to discuss something with a chef for about five minutes, why wouldn't you just drive their and back in the sane day? The same "Problem" arose again when they were trying to work out how their relationship might last. They were two hours apart? I've driven longer for a quickie one night stand for God's sake!

Also, there was, of course, an annoying child.

Otherwise, it was the typical story of a city girl falling for a small town guy, with obstacles of very little substance getting in the way. They didn't seem very suited and it felt like a lot of hard work to get a gingerbread recipe. How much do recipe book writers get paid anyway? They're always so rich?!

Not on my watch yearly list for definite, but I didn't hate it.

6/10.
