there's nothing to fault in the performances, but the characters are filo pastry thin and slightly bland-tasting -- like less complicated, less interesting versions of actual people
there's enough winning ingredients in this slight but sweet-natured comedy-drama to defy cynicism; The film's themes of inclusion, family and multiculturalism may be broadly delivered, but they definitely don't all miss the mark
the cakes look reliably appetising, Celia Imrie still manages to shine, while there's obvious cross-generational appeal. Not totally unpalatable then, but nowhere near sweet enough
it's charming.., but a little pretentious and self-aware. It's a nice take on grief and looks into loss from differing perspectives; Callie Imrie is the stand-out performer in a movie that subtly celebrates the diligence and resourcefulness of women
