Been seeing a bunch of clips on my feed lately I had to find out.
Alot about this movie should spell out 'no, its bad' but I really liked it! Like, the drama it tried to pull was so cheesily fake that I found it laughable lol but you get over it easily. Well, I did. I mean, you could see what it was trying to do with certain themes and motifs but it was all short sighted. It either wasn't built correctly and/or it went nowhere.
What really shined were the cooking challenges/comp scenes which were highlighted nicely but maaaan they could've done so much more with it! It was kinda like, you already have my curiosity now take my full attention, namsayin?
