Cuisiner n'est pas jouer (2023 TV Movie)
4/10
Forgetable
2 June 2024
This is a typical forgetable Reel One Entertainment TV movie - you watch it once, and forget about it. Technically is mostly ok. Only one scene suffers from the poor audio recording. Music isn't loud when cast talk, but it's mostly melancholic, and I mostly disliked it. It was obviously shot in Hamilton like so many times when Hamilton pretends to be NYC, and you're going to recognize the same outdoor locations again and again. However, stock footage usage wasn't excessive.

The cast is mostly all right. I mostly liked Ben Sanders, and I hope he will land main role in the future. AnnaMaria Demara was all right, but her partner David Lafontaine wasn't. Nothing personal against him, but I watched him already several times, and I think he isn't the main role guy. Their chemistry was off. But what do I know...

And there is a writing. I understand that it was the first time write, but the whole thing about VR and restaurant is ridiculous and cringe, but on the other hand, things like that exist IRL, so, yeah... I simply didn't like. Even igoring that, it's the typical story about saving small business which you like me probably watched so many times.

And obligatory don't watch trailer (for some reasons here is only posted shortened version) as it's the ROE one and for some unknown reason(s) it shows whole movie compressed.
