"Thank You for Not Selling Out Your Daddy"
This Hallmark TV romantic comedy about how Kathryn Morris' husband dumps her for a twenty year old acupuncturist and she must move back in with her father at his bakery in Flemington NJ has some good performances going for it. Alastair Mackenzie is particularly amusing and knows how to take a comic fall. However, the occasional clangorous line like "Thank you for not selling out your daddy" prevent it from being much above average good.
I am taken with Ms. Morris' performance as she goes from pampered upper-class lady to down-to-earth New Jersey girl. A lot of these Hallmark romcoms start by having their heroines starting out obnoxious to make their transformations more dramatic. This one gets you on her side immediately, by a brief, self-satisfied smile at her position and then plunges her into shocked incomprehension as her husband kicks her out, ameliorated by good comic bits. It's those bits that keep this one watchable throughout.
It's Not All About Material Things-Sweeter Side of Life ***1/2
Her whole entire life collapses suddenly when her doctor husband wants a divorce so that he can marry his pregnant acupuncture lady.
Our heroine's life goes upside down. With a pre-marital nuptial agreement, there is no money for her, her friends disown her and she returns to plain existence in New Jersey, to be with her baker father.
There she comes back to regular, ordinary people and does baking for her father. When one of her new products is a hit, a group wants to build a franchise around it, but without her father. Our lady has learned her lesson well. It's still about people and not the luxuries of material successes. This point driven home made the film so good.
