Storyline
The movie takes the concept of ‘made with love’ way too seriously but in a good way. The Baker’s Son story is about a baker named Matt who falls in love at first with a dancer named Nicole.

The flow of tourists helps in reviving the economy of the town. Matt’s father, who was French by origin, believed that the reason behind his wonderful breads was because he was in love. But as soon as Matt and Nicole tend to part ways, the town residents assign the duty to his childhood friend Annie to keep the love within Matt alive.
What do the Critics Say About the Movie?
The critics found the concept of the movie way too silly and some characters too lame and irritating. Many people even found the main lead Matt too lame and disliked him for mistreating his childhood best friend, Annie, after falling in love with Nicole. It was just a ‘two best friends falling in love’ story weaved in a slightly different way with the weird concept of relating taste of food with falling in love with someone. mistreating his childhood best friend, Annie
The cast was excellent, but the portrayal of the characters should have been more accurate. Even with the slightly different storyline, the movie would have gained more popularity if the characters, by any chance, were exciting and relatable to the viewers.
