IN A NUTSHELL: After her job and relationship implode on the same day, Sofia starts from scratch and meets a dashing Spanish chef who might be her missing ingredient.

The romantic comedy was directed by Shaun Paul Piccinino, and written by Ali Afshar, John Ducey, and Tiffany Dupont.

THINGS I LIKED: I had never seen Riley Dandy in anything before. She is a cute actress, although her character's personality was a bit self-centered and annoying. That's a serious problem for a romantic comedy if you don't like one of the romantic leads.

Nancy Lenehan was adorable in her role. It was great to see her in something again.

I lived in Spain for two years, so I loved that element of the story; however, some of the characters didn't actually look or sound Spanish. That was disappointing.

I had foot surgery and had to wear one of those boots for months.

I really enjoyed the cooking class scenes in the restaurant.

I was impressed with all of the secondary characters, even those who didn't have very many lines. They all seemed believable and natural. The director did a great job creating a realistic, fun environment on set.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: It's super predictable and full of rom-com cliches.

The ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend were paper thin, making it way too easy to not like them.

Isaac Gonzales Rossi's character is sweet but almost too smiley all of the time.
