For the Love of Chocolate (2021 TV Movie)
4/10
The story lacks a story.
5 November 2022
I watched this on Prime as I usually really enjoy Jesse Hutch, this time paired with Hallmark newcomer Rhiannon Fish, in the second film I have watched her in was not a good pairing.

The story was incredibly weak and lacked an actual storyline, it plodded on with no continuity and the leads lacked chemistry. Jesse Hutch is suited to more outdoors roles and stronger female leads opposite him, he's charismatic but not the most animated of actors. Although one of my favourites,, he does well with a strong, more mature female lead to bounce off and Fish, unfortunately isn't one of them.

I don't know if it is me but I can't warm to fish yet and the ten year age difference was too much in this film, for me she would be better opposite someone younger for a younger audience, her squeaky, chirpy demeanour doesn't endear her to me I'm afraid. I will look out for older leads in the future.

The whole chocolate premise of this film and them just playing about was really bad and the fact her sister was not even similar didn't seem to be explained, in fact, all in all this was a casting disaster.
