My Bakery in Brooklyn (2016)
Bakery in Brooklyn
Director: Gustavo Ron
Writers: Gustavo Ron, Francisco Zegers
Cast: Aimee Teegarden, Krysta Rodriguez, Griffin Newman, Ernie Sabella,
Blanca Suárez, Ward Horton
Genre: Comedy, Romance
About: Two cousins, take over their aunt's bakery in Brooklyn...but can't get along and have different ideas on how to save the business from the bank. Romance follows for everyone!
Review: A movie so good they named it twice, well not really
Regardless of which title you use, this 2016 movie pans out a bit fluffy, with way too many nuts and not enough crunch. Oh sure the film looks great, the bakery is way cool and the on location street filming in Brooklyn never looked better. But gawd did I hate the characters! Who ranged from annoying to hyperbolic. Especially Krysta Rodriguez, the dark haired girl. She drove me crazy! I kept thinking she would make a great female stalker in some horror film.
The cousins have a food fight reminiscent of screw ball comedies of the past.
The aforementioned plot also involves three romances, Aimee Teegarden (the cousin with the shorter blonde hair) falls for the bank guy who comes to foreclose on the bakery. Meanwhile her insane cousin with short dark hair falls for a colorful TV chief who really can't bake at all. Then there's my only favorite character Daniella who's played by Spanish actress Blanca Suárez in her first America movie. Hopefully she gets some better scripts to work with in the future.
The plot is zany with nods to Arsenic and Old Lace in one of the subplots.
I didn't like this, but my wife did. So maybe this is what they call a 'chick flick', if so I say it needed some big explosions!
