Down-to-Earth kind of a feel good movie!

Probably could have used a bigger budget to make it better-my only complaint.Self-absorbed rich dude falls in love with hardworking middle class woman. But as in all romance stories - it’s everything that happens in between that matters. The usage of stereotypes isn’t lazy but tastefully used to better convey the story. While the storyline is moderately predictable it’s fresh. It takes it’s time without dragging. It builds romance without any sex scenes although it does have one “steamy” scene technically clothing does come off but it shows nothing inappropriate that couldn’t be done in public or even in front of your own grandma. Definitely rewatching and recommending

I enjoyed the refreshing break from dark themes in cinema. I love cooking and gardening, the imagery and discussion of recipes were lovely and inspiring.

NO SPOILERS. I LOVE ROMANTIC COMEDIES, AND THIS WAS A FIVE CHILI PEPPER AFFAIR, AS YOU WILL SEE. SET IN NEW MEXICO, IDO NOT KNOW WHICH WAS FINER, WATCHING THE PLOT OR THE DELICIOUS FOOD.

AFTER MANY COMPLICATIONS HE FALLS HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH THE DIVORCED OWNER AND HER DARLINGDAUGHTER. BUT LIFE IS NOT SO SIMPLE, AS YOU WILL SEE. AS THE DENOUEMENT AND FINALE ARRIVE, I HOPE YOU WILL AGREETHIS IS ONE OF THE MOST CHARMING ROMANTIC COMEDIES MADE IN A LONG TIME. PLEASE ENJOY.

This is an enjoyable movie. Santino Fontana should make more movies, he is such a talented actor

Loved the culture, cooking and restaurant, and scenery. The storyline is entertaining as a romance and adds flair with the cultural influence.

this was surprisingly engaging & well done , though very predictable. Cinematography was excellent, script- was so-so. Main couple were pretty good but supporting cast was cringy. Still it was better than most Hallmark movies & it didn't have that dated tentative piano music that Hallmark is known for :P

I loved the storyline and how they actually showed cooking, versus just talking about it. The vibrant colors of the small village in comparison to the cold and colorless corporate world of Irvine, California. The main actor from "My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and the the female lead had great chemistry. It was a fun lighthearted movie.

Fantastic movie I watch it on Netflix and I knew I have to get the movie
