This movie did not get good reviews but I don't know why people are being harsh to it. I liked it. It opened my eyes to the big world of cheese. It's a good movie. It is a simple movie. I think it is definitely worth a watch.
Plot summary
Brie Belanger owns and operates her own artisan cheese shop in Montpelier, VT, she having learned the love of cheese and the craft of cheese-making from her now deceased grandfather, his own cheese shop long having went under when the corporate entity of Lambert Farms opened a retail store in the neighborhood specifically to put him out of business when he refused to sell to them. Knowing that it would be held in Montpelier, Brie put off entering her best cheese, a four year aged smoked Gouda, in the state artisan cheese competition until this year, the competition generally won by Lambert. Largely keeping to herself in the industry, Brie, knowing him by name and reputation only, is unaware that the latest customer buying a number of cheeses in her shop including the smoked Gouda is Jack Wolfe, one of the most influential online cheese critics and author of a highly regarded cookbook on cheese fondues, he in town for the cheese festival. While he does give the Gouda a more than positive review, it is the "but" that makes her not fully trust him, specifically his palate. Regardless, he is able to convince her to let him feature her in a profile for his website. As Brie and Jack start to fall for each other, they push each other to strive for their goals, for Jack it being to return to his love of being a chef not solely if at all tied to the cheese fondues for which he is known. Things hit a bump in their road when Brie learns of Jack's ties to Lambert, most specifically Matthew Lambert who has just taken over reigns of the Lambert family business. Regardless of if Matty is or is not like his grandfather, Brie believes she can overcome anything Lambert throws at her if she wins the championship, it not as easy as producing the best cheese in she knowing her cheeses, especially the smoked Gouda, are heads and tails superior than anything Lambert could produce.

Cheese has more to it
Predictable but fine.
This might be the cheesiest movie title of all time, which to be honest was the only reason I initially watched it. This is your typical Hallmark style love story, there will be no major twists and the ending won't surprise you, but it might put a smile on your face. One this I can't figure out is why it's set in Vermont when half of the actors speak with a Canadian accent, set it in Canada, we're not stupid!
like the couple and the cheese
Brie Belanger (Kim Shaw) is an artisan cheese maker with her own shop. She is the only local entry for a competition. Jack Wolfe (Clayton James) is a famous cheese critic and writer. He comes in to review her cheeses.
These are adorable leads. They have a cute chemistry. It's a cheesy romance. The comedy is very slight. The romance is sweet. There is nothing too wrong about this. It's just not aiming that high. The middle falls a little flat. The rival could have been more evil. The movie needs tension from somewhere and the business rivalry could have been amped up. This is a low intensity romantic drama. I do like the couple. I like the cheese. Everything else is a bit flat.
