    Storyline

    Edit
    Widower Gill Callahan retired from the fire department after a tragedy. Helped by some pals, he starts a diner that offers simple food, but the matching music is too much for the elitist taste of his neighbor, Sara Westbrook, who just started a French restaurant and aspires to a refined reputation that utterly clashes with the working-class neighborhood, which leads to a prank war. Gill's daughter Hannah befriends Sara and ends up acting as matchmaker, helped by fate in what seems like a tragedy. —KGF Vissers

    • Goofs
      The movie starts with Chef Sara entering her restaurant. When she opens the doors and walks in, a "Closed" sign, with text in French and English, is visible: it reads Closed at the bottom and Ferm'e at the top. But it should read Fermé.

    Light and Tasty Fare
    For a TV movie, this was an engaging movie, but the highlight for me was Bailee Madison. Before this movie, I was not familiar with this very talented and versatile young actor, though now I realize that I have seen some of her other work. She was great! She convincingly rides the emotional gamut in a childlike manner that was refreshing. I found Teri Polo's acting a bit over the top with how uptight she was, but maybe there are actually people out there like that. She did refresh my "how to make a bechamel sauce" skills. Her assistant chef, Romy Rosemont, had perfect timing again and again, and was the one who consistently made me laugh.

    It is a movie with no real surprises, but for me, it hit the sweet spot on love.
