Reviews

Critics have given "Two Chefs and a Wedding Cake" a mixed reception, reflected in its IMDb rating of 5.8/10. On Metacritic, the film holds a score in the mid-50s, indicating average reviews. Rotten Tomatoes presents a fresh but limited set of critic assessments, praising the film for its charming performances and lighthearted tone, albeit noting a somewhat predictable plot. Variety commended Francesca Bianchi's engaging lead performance and the chemistry between the two leads, stating, "Bianchi brings warmth and wit to a formulaic yet enjoyable rom-com." However, The Guardian pointed out that while the film entertains, it rarely transcends genre clichés, mentioning, "The story is as sweet as its titular cake, but occasionally feels over-frosted with predictable tropes." Audience reviews have been similarly divided, with many appreciating the tasteful humor and the detailed depiction of culinary artistry, but some critiquing the screenplay's lack of depth. Overall, the film appeals to rom-com fans looking for a pleasant, if familiar, story enhanced by strong performances and a delectable setting.
