Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail A layer cake of cutesy romance, fight-for-your-dreams earnestness and a syrupy score. Rated: 0.5/4 Jan 20, 2017 Full Review Leah Pickett Chicago Reader The plot may be predictable, but the leads have nice chemistry and writer-director Gustavo Ron sprinkles in some funny and touching family moments. Jan 19, 2017 Full Review Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times It's the cinematic equivalent of a novice baker throwing lemon curd, salted caramel, Nutella and crme anglaise into a bowl: sticky, overly sweet glop, without any real substance or balance. Jan 19, 2017 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International It's almost guaranteed that this overbaked, underwhelming confection will give you cinematic indigestion. Jan 19, 2017 Full Review Sergio F. Pinilla Cinemanía (Spain) A film that aspires to evoke classics of American comedy like the works of Capra or Lubitsch. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Jun 30, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 'God I love your accent. It's like avocados.' "Man I love your accent. It sounds like strawberries.' 'Miss, I think I'm a little too old for libido pastry.' There's a scene where two characters sit down in a diner (one being covered in pastry bits from a fight they just had in a prior scene) and the waitress acts like she's offended at their presence. She only gets three lines, and says each one with absolute disdain. There's a character that gets his foot stuck in a bread basket and somehow can't remove it himself (the thought to sit down, reach down and take it off his foot apparently never occurs to him). He hops around with it on his foot for a full day before someone finally sits him down and takes it off for him. This character is a full grown man with full autonomy of his limbs. The act that causes one character to want to split the bakery in half is a customer comes in and wants half a croissant. This sets off the character, because the other half owner just tells them to give the customer what he wanted. Apparently the character takes this as the half owner getting in the way of having their 'ideas take root'. There is not conflict between them up to this point, just this one thing and suddenly the character thinks that the other half owner is against all their ideas (that we've never seen them talk about) and they're suddenly enemies. The bakery being split in half also means new floors, walls, and decorations all being done in one night. Even if it's one half of a small place, there's no freaking way. This all happens within the first act of the movie. It's the special kind of bad movie you watch when you want something to hate. There's so much more I could say, but this should be viewed to be believed. I didn't even write about the Russian guy running around looking for his pills, or the blind guy who seems to live at his shoe-shining stand. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Nonsensical and seemingly romcom sweety syrupy yet shocking glorification of illicit drug use Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member It's bad enough that the plot is predictable but the casting is a shame. The characters have no chemistry and you have two people who are obviously from Spain act like Latinos? They did not pull it off to say the least. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member It may have been sappy, but it is cute and funny. I enjoyed it. Light entertainment with a happy ending. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member So weird. Some of it is good but I don't understand the relevance of some sub plots. So very weird. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremadamente estúpida. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
