First of all, Brendan, terrible french accent.

First of all, Brebdan, terrible french accent. And not necessary to the plot, I would have liked it better if he was just from New York or someplace. I liked them together, they made a cute couple.

I could have rated this movie higher but I took off points for errors and continuity. Some glaring examples 1. He is giving out samples on the street, she starts to cross the street to confront him and she is nearly hit by a car, screeching tires, blaring car horn and ....nobody on the street even turned to look.

2. He thinks she stole his reciope using gold leaf and she denies it, they argue and he stalks out , she follows and they argue in the street. Then, without resolving things, they are bowling together, seemingly very friendly.

3. Chuck tells them that Adele made him break into Emily's Bakery and ....... nothing happens, they just drop the issue. No explanation about why what he was supposed to do when he got into the bakery. Some type of sabotage I presume.

4. Her deceased grandmother keeps turning up in scenes, ringing a bell for donatons and no one can see her except this 1 little girl. And this was totally underplayed, and probably missed by many viewers. It should have been clearer or left out entirely.. Or would that have made it too Twilight Zoney.

Writing errors? Editing errors? I don't know but someone sure dropped the ball.

My advice: Iit is a pleasant little movie despite it's problems. Good for the whole family. It is worth watching.
