Yeah, so there's a lot of food scenes.

So she's a chef in the film.

Halle Bailey, the great Halle Bailey, by the way, does a wonderful job in this movie.

Have you ever met Halle?

No.

She is one of the most infuriating nice human beings on the planet.

You know when you see people and you keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, and it turns out that the other shoe is made out of fairy dust and slowly floats to the ground.

She's one of those people, she walks around and just sunshine comes out of her paws and people are happier that she's there.

It's impossible not to be charmed by this woman.

She's a great protagonist.

In that sense, where you root for her, you want to live this fantastical escape through her, and the vehicle for that is she plays a chef.

So she's a chef in New York who's not living up to her dreams, and part of her journey to Italy, other than bumping into me and falling in love, which is spoilers, but it does happen.

Awful rom-com if that doesn't happen.

Awful rom-com!

You're like, oh wow, meet cute, and then... nothing?

LAUGHTER

Oh, it's a calm.

It's just calm.

It's a sad calm.

It's not a sad calm.
