Or to use a metaphor more appropriate to this movie - not my flavor of cupcake.
This movie hit all my negative buttons, so take my review with a grain of salt. I hate cooking contest shows. I hate the premise where where the protagonists have to win a contest to save the bakery. (It's a little like counting on the lottery.) I don't care for this style of humor which heavily uses vicious sniping and melodrama. It's a matter of personal preference.
Is this a Christmas romance movie? It barely touches on Christmas. And if you measure by screen time, the main romance is with the bakery rather than between Gina and Nick. Even the sisters' relationship takes up more than Nick and Gina.
I anticipated the ending to the contest, if only by a bit. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
