Movie #1648 "A Gingerbread Romance" --- okay, so in this one, they spent the whole time building this Giant Gingerbread house together --- the girl from "Sister, Sister" and the guy from "NCIS" that died at the end of the season last year..... now we know where he went after that! Anyway, he is phoning in this performance ---- he hardly smiles and he's so low key and mumbling, that he doesn't make a good foil for her --- she's bouncy, energetic and cute. The little girl is okay, too. So we are happy the little girl gets a new mother, but not so sold on the guy in this one --- and it was boring after a while just on that big giant gingerbread house! I kept thinking when the little girl ran in before the competition was judged to put something on the gingerbread mantle, that the house would fall on top of her and what a scene that would be --- but it didn't happen, so I'm happy about that. But otherwise, I wouldn't suggest you having to see this one. But then, I don't like Gingerbread houses or cookies. I give it 3.5, slow, she's cute, but not much here.
"A GINGERBREAD ROMANCE" 2018 2 hours
With Christmas just weeks away, the architecture firm Taylor works for enters her in a contest in which the teams will design and build life-sized gingerbread houses. After the contest, Taylor will likely be getting a promotion to a position in another city. The firm teams her up with Isabelle, a renowned French pastry chef with whom Taylor instantly locks horns. When Isabelle backs out, Taylor stumbles into a local bakery and meets Adam, a baker and single dad. In an act of desperation, Taylor convinces Adam to partner with her for the contest, arguing that winning would give the bakery and his designs much-needed exposure. For years Taylor has been resistant to call anywhere 'home' for fear it will only be temporary. But the time she spends with Adam and his daughter in their cozy home, decorating for the holidays and exploring the town at Christmas, fills her with a longing for a place to call home.
