This movie was going at a nice pace and then the ending was rushed, and unbelievable. Barely any romance occurred. Good for only watching once. I did enjoy Stephen Huszar as the lead actor. And once again, IMDB is insisting we make our reviews at least 150 characters. Sometimes a movie is not good enough to deserve that much. We are not all great writers but simply want to get our point across.

Good until the ending
Not bad
There are echoes of several common plot threads. A woman. Zoey, gets fired and changes careers. Food truck in a competition. Zoey's love interest starts out as her nemesis. The outcome is predictable.
I said echoes because this movie is also a little different and I think that's mostly how the common themes are done. There was a slight surprise before the end, but I aslo expected it. The dialogue is decent.
Rachel Bles is upbeat and appealing, despite what appears to be a short resume with no previous rom/com leads. She has definite chemistry with Stephen Huszar. There is just enough relationship development combined with the story elements of the contest and her former boss's shenanigans to keep my interest. Supporting actors also do a decent job.
It's too bad Livia, the truck, seemed to get more love than the dog.
Several reviewers presumed this to be Hallmark. It premiered on UpTV. There is a line in this movie which steals the title of a Hallmark movie, and Hallmark doesn't usually do that.
BOOOORRRRRIIIINNNNNG
Didn't hold my interest at all. Boring. BTW - this is not a Hallmark movie. It's an UpTV movie BORING.
