Where to start with this schlock-fest? Casting was clearly aiming for a Goldie Hawn ditzy blonde effect but on a mini-budget. The main character mugged, screeched, huffed and puffed at maximum volume to the exclusion of any acting efforts. This woman was supposed to have a Columbia MBA and yet was such an airhead and kardashian-reject that she was a cartoon. A symphony of "WOOOO HOOO" acting. Left with absolutely nothing after 15 years of marriage because she signed an egregious pre-nup? Was she comatose? Then we have the other characters - the obligatory big-hearted Irish dad (Paddy? Seriously?), the lovable, street-smart black teenager, NUNS in HABITS, handsome rich French- English neighbor...it doesn't miss a cliché. Hallmark movies are all hopelessly corny but this one is such a ridiculous waste of time that it puts others to shame.

Through the first 5/8ths of the movie, Desiree was totally unlikable, even ditsy. She was arrogant and rude. In the name of humor, too many of the characters were exaggerated, almost buffoon-like. And how does an MBA from Columbia sign a prenup, against her lawyer's advice, that leaves her with nothing, not even her ring. Her snooty friends dump her harder than her husband did. Her lawyer shows up for a meeting with her husband's attorney drunk, or high. Then Desiree kicks into high gear and what she does next with the bakery is a little ridiculous even in a Hallmark movie. And somehow despite her rejecting him twice, Benny still wants to date her. And on the first date, which includes her Dad and his friends, he falls madly in love with her, or is it lust. Finally she does the 180 degree character change that is so common in romance movies and no longer wants to live on Fifth Avenue or even associate with her rich ex-friends. I was waiting for the enjoyable part to kick in and it never did.

I wish I was good at writing reviews, but I'm terrible. Still had to write regarding Sweeter Side though. What a cute,fun, family movie. It was good to see the main character come out on top after so much bad things that got thrown her way. And to see a family stick together too. I couldn't get enough of it. We need more fun movies like this one. Keep them coming. I highly recommend everyone watch it. ") Everyone involved, did a great job. I also loved the music that was featured. Will be buying the soundtrack, if one comes out.I plan on buying it when it comes out on DVD too. Applause to the writing and directing team of Michael and Janeen Damian.

Oh, dear, where to start. First, a squealer (as well as a spoiler) warning.The heroine does a LOT of shrieking and squealing, usually accompanying pratfalls like sparking curling irons, runaway mixers, and cans of flour (who keeps an open can of flour on a top shelf?)falling on her head. There is the requisite bumbling but good-hearted father who helpfully washes a dress and it shrinks to the size of a doll costume. Who didn't see that coming? Then, of course there is the handsome, rich, available neighbor who is miraculously drawn to this dizzy blonde.There is nothing new here, nothing appealing, nothing interesting. Same formulaic drivel from Hallmark.
