Review of The Recipe Files

I was excited when the movie came out. Amurdermystery holiday movie. The plot was weak and made no sense. You find out that it's a possibility that your mom may have been murder and neither of the characters playing her children appeared bothered. From the shady realtor slash thrift store owner slash to the news paper owner was ridiculous. The cookie raffle with the QVC hosts and was soon cheesy. I could have done without the commentary interrupting the movie, was unnecessary. When the truth comes out the emotion the characters showed was lukewarm and not realistic. The scene jump from the arrest to the sheriff scene was disconnected to the storyline. Overall they needed more rewrites and takes. Maybe work harder on making the story more streamlined and cohesive.
