Um, this movie is basically family friendly soft core cheese porn. The romantic leads felt like they wanted to get down and dirty with cheese so bad. I went there. 

So Kim Shaw and Clayton James have teamed up again with much better results. Last seen in the not so great Lifetime movie 'Christmas on the Menu'. This movie is very similar. In 'Christmas on the Menu' she was a chef and he was a food critic. In this movie she makes cheese and he's a cheese critic. Yup. This movie is very serviceable. It looks fine, the acting is okay, and though it's predictably bland there's still something very watchable about it. I wasn't necessarily bored by it, but I wasn't excited by it either. It's not a bad movie I guess, just not enough chemistry from the leads. Kim Shaw with her great hair was pretty good, but Clayton James came off as wooden to me. I kinda liked this movie, and maybe it was all the cheese that tipped the scales for me. Sigh, now I want cheese. 

My Rating: 🌟🌟½ 🤷 👍
