User Reviews

Unfinished

Actually a rather compelling plot line with perfectly fine actors and script but at movies end the viewer is left with no conclusion.

First there's the cookie recipe that everyone loves, then the kidnapping, then the battle of wit's as to who will win, then it ends.

There's all this tension buildup and no payoff as to what happens to our characters in this story. And the twist at the end is yet another unfinished element in the story. Nothing here makes me want to seek out possible sequel to this movie.
