Can't Get Past Mom

I have always wanted to go to Greece & this gave me a beautiful, albeit brief, glance at the beautiful country, customs, & culture.Unfortunately, that's about it. I could barely get past the actress who plays the mom's stiff acting (& how many times can you say, "YANNI"!?) or the fact that the makeup artist made the lead actress' face an entirely different color than her body. The ancillary characters were annoying as well, except for the mom's boyfriend who was fine & sweet.The lead actor is beyond attractive & a decent performer, so I wouldn't mind seeing him again in some movies. The end.

A Greek interlude with a very attractive and hardworking couple.

The Greek setting was lovely and more intimate than most. I enjoyed that they found Greek actors to play the roles and in particular I thought Rafael Kariotakis was well cast in the leading man role. He was handsome and engaging, exactly what you want in a romantic film.The story is about Abby who visits her mom Jackie in Greece after being laid off from her big New York job. An opportunity arises for Abby, but she doesn't have any restaurant experience...until she is hooked up with the local Theo. Theo is has to reopen his diseased mother's restaurant in two weeks or loose his permits and location. The two initially clash, but then really start to come together for this joint cause. Unfortunately, Theo's father has other plans for him back in Athens and he isn't afraid to use a little sabotage.I thought the leads we a lovely couple...I would have liked to feel more chemistry. I loved the more intimate Greek backdrop, and I loved the scene when Abby is walking home with the camera behind her along the cobblestones, it was lovely.I love to armchair travel and I think fellow hallmark romantics will also enjoy it for that.

Hallmark goes to Greece

The Passport to Love films this year have been very good - I always say that an on-location Hallmark is better than those where Canadian cities are standing in for more exotic locales - and "A Greek Recipe for Romance" is definitely not the exception to that rule.Whilst the trope that propels this boy-meets-girl movie isn't exactly an original one, and you know exactly how it is going to end, the stunning Greek scenery and the sparkling performance by Danielle C. Ryan as American Abby, more than makes up for the bland storyline. If Ryan's effort here is anything to go by, Hallmark movies are in safe hands.
