Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

kz917-1 I'm an avid follower of When Calls the Heart, so if Erin Krakow is starring I will most likely tune in. That said both female lead characters were pretty unlikable sparring for the attention of the new single dad in town. Towards the end one of the characters has absolutely despicable morals for a teacher. Cute but lacking in wholesome Hallmark values..

Jack Vasen Seeing Erin Krakow as a teacher made me want to love this movie from the start. As the teacher on Once Calls the Heart, you can't help but expect genuine love, humility and generosity especially for her students.Throw in a cute little girl as the daughter of an attractive new dad in the school, James, and you have a great start.Unfortunately Christie has a very mean competitive streak. While it isn't nearly as nasty as her grade school rival, Penny, it still detracts from Christie and really is inconsistent with her character.We see an obvious attraction forming between Christie and James and between Christie and Lilly. What else would you expect? The rivalry, embodied in the cookie baking contest, becomes the central thread of the movie. I think you could tell that something was coming with the recipes, even though my guess wasn't quite right.The ending was too abrupt, too quick.

MiamiReviewer I love me some Hallmark holiday moves. I can't tolerate this one. Two catty, unlikable women competing over the new dad in town. I assume you're supposed to like the lead actress because she's the "nicer" of the two? But she's just as pathetic as the nastier one, meeting the new dad once and immediately setting her desperate sights on him. That is literally the whole plot of this movie. No charming romanticism that develops over two hours. Nope. Just that a single hot guy shows up, and the ladies pull out their claws. Oh, and the hot dad's "job" is running a nonprofit goodwill type ramshackle empty storefront for needy people. Ugh.

decemberangel1286 The only actor who was good in the movie was Alan Thicke. The plot wasn't executed and the movie was boring. The father was such a darn jerk, it took for his daughter to get him to come to his senses about who really took the dumb cookie recipe. Oh please! anyone could have figured it out when Penny asked him to Fix Christy's table leg just to make him mad and frame Christy for no reason at all. Penny and Christy acted like they were 3 and for what? Some widower with a child? oh give me a break, this movie is nothing but a bunch of useless lines and actors who can't act and aren't even good looking. They all need acting lessons except for Alan Thicke. The rivalry lasted what? 20 years isn't that a long time to carry a grudge? Oh brother, I'd rather listen to boring music than watch some rubbish about some cooking contest taken to a new level. That plot in it self is quite dumb! This is one of the worst Hallmark movie's ever seen. This movie is a 1/10 and that's being generous. This movie has no potential and you can fall asleep watching the movie, I nearly did twice. The movie isn't even comical, its so drab, the more I watched it the more I wanted to throw a script at the director and writing crew.Bad script. Save your time people and watch something else.
