Gets Better Halfway Through
Desiree is a spoiled and vapid socialite, married to a surgeon. She spends her days working out, having lunch with girlfriends, and shopping. Out of the blue, her husband wants a divorce. Apparently, he's been having an affair for several months and is in lust.....oh erm I mean love. Because of a iron clad prenup, Desiree gets nothing but her designer clothes and shoes. Every rich "friend" she has disowns her now, with the exception of her lawyer, who she's known since childhood. Desiree has to move back home with her dad, Paddy, and work in his bakery. It's here that she remembers what really matters in life. Things start falling into place for Desiree, after she creates a new dessert that becomes widely popular. A company wants to franchise Paddy's bakery, with Desiree at the helm. When given this opportunity to become rich again, she declines because it means pushing her out her father. Instead, she decides to stay in her hometown, where she belongs now. Desiree ends up with a big new town family, plus a new love interest.
In the beginning, Desiree was horrible! She was such a whiny baby who barely acted like an adult. Her screeching got on my last nerve. It was all very overdramatic. Fortunately, as Desiree lost her superior attitude and humbled herself a bit, her really personality shown through. Paddy was such a sweet daddy, perfect for the role. I just wanted to hug him! I also enjoyed the other two bakery employees and the lawyer. They all brought something special to the movie. And finally, Desiree's new love interest Bennie was also a nice touch. I wish he would've been in more scenes though. I enjoy watching movies set in small towns. Sure, everyone knows everyone else's business. But people also look out for each other and actually care.
