No chemistry

I've liked the Kiki character throughout the series but this romantic pairing is so bad. He is too old-in manner, if not age. Kiki is bubbly and positive. His character is stiff and patronizing. Zero chemistry between them. I am going to skip to the end to see the resolution of the other plot line but can't take any more of this awkward couple. Really too bad because Kiki deserves more! The scene when he tries to kind of dance along with the tunes in the car was cringe. Disappointing after the other three movies in the series were pretty good. And last, can someone please fix Angie's bangs?!!!

A Melodramatic Mess!!!

Another installment of Hearts Around The Table. There's plenty of trouble brewing as it's Jenna's wedding, she's reflecting on her biological parents and feeling despair over a lack of a family history and traditions. She asked why hasn't her father ever tried to find her. In addition, there's a conflict with the mother of Andrew the groom who tries to take over some of the wedding plans despite Andrew's protests. Kiki is catering the wedding and is overwhelmed and everything is going wrong. Clay, is Andrew's best man and also a Chef who owns his own restaurant. He gives Kiki advice and also tells her don't forget to take time to enjoy the wedding, but she keeps insisting she doesn't need any help.It's an overmelodramatic mess, the whole story just drags in the middle, and becomes a boring movie. There needed to be a bit more of a feeling of a real romance between Kiki and Clay, they are more like friends. Angie's meddling turns into a disaster for Jenna and Clay's lack of support hurts Kiki. But regular Hallmark viewers know how it will all pan out. This entire series has been too much of the same.

Best of Four

Of the four Hearts Around The Table movies, Kiki's Fourth Ingredient is the one I enjoyed the most because it adequately brought things full circle from the first installment in the series, Jenna's First Love.This time, the focus is on Kiki's love life, or lack thereof (at least in the beginning) and the fact that she has agreed to cater sister Jenna's wedding. Lone wolf chef Kiki doesn't realize that she's bitten off more than she can chew (no pun intended) until fellow chef Clay (the best man in the wedding) points it out to her. In fact, he points it out several times, which in real life I'd probably find a bit annoying if it came from someone I barely knew, but his sincerity is clear and, hey, he's right. His ultimate suggestion proves very important to Kiki, and it's more practical, not predictable, which is a welcome change. While all this is going on, the wedding storyline more quietly plays out in the background. It was a good balance of main story and secondary story, complete with the appearance of one of the main character's biological parent and, of course, the wonderful Mindy Cohn (Angie).Kathryn Davis and Torrance Coombs had very good chemistry together. Their characters' personalities complemented each other well, and I liked that the development of their relationship highlighted that. For me, this was the most enjoyable of the four "Hearts" movies and I'd recommend it.
