As a New Zealander who now lives in Australia and knows about pavlovas (long has the controversy gone on about just who invented it) I do hope Brad wasn't planning on serving up the one he made days before Christmas, on Christmas Day. Maybe a day after it was made it would be OK but not after several. It would have been a mushy mess by then. Might still taste almost OK but would not present well. This was a glaring mistake for me but all in all I enjoyed the movie, the acting and the storyline. Not a bad way to spend 90 minutes,
