Garry:

Yes, it was written by. So is it time to drop the synopsis?

Amy:

It is time to drop the synopsis.

Garry:

Let's go, you want to do it. Sophie is a rising culinary star on the verge of becoming executive chef at a high-end Manhattan restaurant. On the verge of becoming executive chef at a high-end Manhattan restaurant. But when her sister, Abigail, calls with news that their beloved family seafood spot in Montauk is floundering, that's good floundering, Floundering. Sophie returns home to help.

Amy:

I didn't even realize that when you talked.

Garry:

No pine, no pine.

Amy:

We'll probably give away some spoilers, so if you haven't watched Catch of the Day yet, push pause, go watch it and then come back to our review.

Garry:

Yes, please do.

Amy:

Yes, please do, because we'll probably give away some. We always say we might, but we definitely Always do. We talk about our favorite scenes and whatnot. So what did you think? What did you think? You want me to go first? You go first on this one. So full disclosure here. I love Amelia Ullerup.

Garry:

Yes, I love her, love her, love her.

Amy:

She's very, very good and think she's great in everything, including this. She's just such a wonderful. She just has such a wonderful smooth delivery in her acting. So she's great in everything she can deliver. You know the fun, the wit and the serious she can deliver. You know the fun, the wit and the serious, right, right. She's so good at all that and we also love food competition shows. So when it started and it had that upbeat song, the Kobe Calais Brighter Than the Sun, with the pics of the plating, of the fancy food and everything, I mean I was hooked right away. Yeah.

Garry:

Hooked, get it. Yes, I did that.

Amy:

Some puns going on today. I mean I, I enjoy it, enjoyed it. It had all the classic hallmark movie vibes. Right, you have the girl who lived in a small town, moved to the big city, heads home to help a small town business. You know her family business, um, you know she meets up with an old crush, etc. So, um, I, I, I really enjoyed it. The only thing I would say that I felt like didn't work as well as I'd hoped was the chemistry between Sophie and Cam. They just sort of came off better as close friends than having a real spark between them. So but overall, generally I enjoyed it. What about you?

Garry:

I felt the same way. It's funny because we almost had identical takes on this.

Amy:

We did, and we don't talk about it and we don't look at it and we try not to because we don't want to ruin it.

Garry:

Yeah it was typically your hallmark story, Right when you know the girl or the guy moves to a big city, wants to get away from the small town. She's a chef, he's a chef whatever. Gets a call from a family member to come back, she comes back.

Amy:

Yeah, and the thing is, is Abigail's not, her passion's not cooking or baking? Her sister, Sophie's sister, who's running?

Garry:

the family business back at home and by her coming back, which is for three weeks, 10 days, and running into her old fling cam. You know, it's just a typical.

Amy:

Well, I don't even know if they had a fling. They like had that brief kiss in like seventh grade, so they weren't really like ex-boyfriend, ex-girlfriend, she just had a crush on him and it sounds kind of like he had a crush on her. But then they went into high school and he wanted to act cool and he didn't, you know, pay attention to her.

Garry:

So I mean it was good for a Hallmark movie, yeah, yeah.

Amy:

And can we talk about Montauk for a minute?

Garry:

Oh, yes, oh yeah.

Amy:

So it seems like we're just we're hearing more and more about it lately. Right Like you and I watched, there's a Showtime series called the Affair which is really really good. Yes, it is, except maybe the last season wasn't great.

Garry:

It was kind of weird.

Amy:

But a lot of that took place in Montauk and I'd never heard of it until we watched that. But since then it just seems like it's coming up more and more. Yeah, and I guess we could talk here. Do you want to talk about Katie Lee Beagle's podcast?

Garry:

Yeah, let's do it.

Amy:

So we did listen to her podcast where she talked about the making of this movie, which I thought was really cool. Go listen to it. Her podcast is called All on the Table and this one in particular was. I mean, you can listen to all of them, but this one was about Catch of the Day and it was only like it was less than 20 minutes.

Amy:

I think, so it was brief, but it was really cool. I love the behind-the-scenes stuff, right? So we listened to it and found out that she developed the idea after reading an article in I don't even want to say a paper, some paper you know about Montauk and how millennials were moving back home or trying to save their family business from big corporations taking it over. So that sort of sparked her idea to write the movie and she pitched it to Hallmark and you can chime in, I'm trying to remember it correctly.

Garry:

No, and it took a while. They gave her a big-time writer and I don't know offhand who that particular writer was. The writer that you named Andrea Canning. Oh, I'm sorry, canning, andrea Canning, oh, I'm sorry, canning, yes.

Amy:

Andrea Canning. They gave her a Hallmark writer.

Garry:

Right.

Amy:

Because she for Groundswell. She had written the book and I believe somebody else adapted it to the screen. A Hallmark writer adapted it for. Hallmark and wrote the teleplay.

Garry:

Right.

Amy:

But in this case case she had the idea and she was able to co-write the teleplay with andrea canning right right right. Who has, who has done? I think she said like dozens of right hallmark films, so that was pretty cool.

Garry:

Yeah, she's got two movies now.

Amy:

Yeah, yeah, I thought it was awesome man it was cool and you know I like how um she, she said it was originally supposed to be. She called it the last resort because that's a nickname for Montauk and she thought it was a play on. You know, sophie, coming home to save the business is a last resort, so she really likes that. But they couldn't use the name Right, hallmark said, for there were legal reasons. They ran into some issues.

Amy:

Always legal so it became Catch of the Day, which I thought was really cool. Yeah, into some issues, so it became catch of the day, which I thought was really cool. So, yeah, so, if you want to check out her podcast and listen to a little behind the scenes, it was pretty cool. She talks about the production and who was starring in it, and all that jazz.

Garry:

So yeah, and she even got a little cameo in it.

Amy:

She did. She's in it for a little, yeah, a few times.

Garry:

She's the food critic.

Amy:

Which is kind of cool yeah.

Garry:

Not the food. Well, yeah, she's an influencer, right right, who writes about the Restaurant scene and yeah, a slack-tied restaurant.

Amy:

That's the name of yep.

Garry:

So you want to dive into favorite scenes?

Amy:

Sure All right, you want to go first with one of yours.

Garry:

Yeah, I thought-.

Amy:

So we're going to do up to three. We decided to limit it now.

Garry:

I just thought it was so funny. When Sophie first comes home and she's at the restaurant with Abigail and she's trying to take note of what kind of shape the restaurant was in, yes, and then she talks about going into the freezer and Abigail's, like you know.

Amy:

I don't know if you want to do that. Yeah, I have this too.

Garry:

Yes, yes and it was funny because this is so true with chefs, especially executive chefs. But they go into the freezer and, lo and behold, there's frozen fish Frozen fish. Frozen fish and frozen whatever.

Amy:

Yep, yep.

Garry:

And Sophie looks at Abigail. It's like what are you doing? What is this? And of course you know, abigail's like well, we got to save money. We don't have money. We're closed on Mondays, and what was it? Tuesdays. So this is the way we save money. Yeah, but you know, not just because it's frozen and cheap doesn't mean it's better and you're going to make more money.

Amy:

Fresh is fresh Right right Especially on the water. You're right there, yeah, you have, and people coming expected to be fresh, right, because you're literally right there, like you said, on the water, and I had that as one of my favorite scenes too. And I like where you know, because Abigail's like who can tell the difference once it's thawed and deep fried, and Sophie's like that blogger for one because the blogger had been there and had talked about it. So, yeah, very cool yeah.

Garry:

So another one of mine, if you want, is no no, I'm just kidding, go for it, what else? The way they walk. Cam and Sophie are walking through the market. It's not the fish market, but it's more of a yeah, like a you know fruit.

Amy:

I almost put this one down.

Garry:

Yes, yes, I thought it was so well shot and I love how they were talking and they were exchanging, you know shoulda, coulda, wouldas and they're picking out food for. You know Sophie wants to. You know, kind of create a menu for.

Amy:

Well, I think she's doing for Evelyn, right, right For the boss, that's right. She was picking out the food for Evelyn's investor party.

Garry:

And I just liked the way they were just bantering back and forth and picking out herbs and tasting cheese.

Amy:

I was going to say I loved when she made the beeline for the cheese. I was like that is my girl right there.

Garry:

I love that she left them there standing there, that's my vice.

Amy:

I thought that was funny when she went to the cheese. Yeah, I almost wrote that one down too.

Garry:

So what about you? What did you have?

Amy:

You want to do your third one.

Garry:

Yeah, I think. My third one was when they did the interview and they had it was the kids Abigail and Sophie when they were doing the interview for the manager to run that. Oh, yes, yes, when they were running the interviews right, that was sort of so funny when you first said that I was thinking like interview on TV, Like what Were they all? Interviewing Right right right Right right. And then the girls were in the background throwing things back and forth to each other. That was cute and the looks on their faces.

Amy:

And just the people that were being interviewed'll be an interview or oh my goodness, a little, a little much, yeah, yeah. And then they finally find I don't know what that was frog in my throat. They finally find the perfect person, right, but yeah, that was, that was kind of a cute fun, yeah, fun scene.

Garry:

So those are mine. Yeah, what about you? What'd you like?

Amy:

for me. I think we've talked about one, but the first one would be and I have I did mention this before was like beginning the shots of the city, the cooking, the very opening scene. Right, I just thought it kind of grabbed you right away with the upbeat song and what the scenes that they were showing and the plating and all that. I just thought it was a cool. It just sort of hooks you in, right away.

Garry:

It does.

Amy:

I thought it was a cool way to start, so that would be my favorite. One of my favorite scenes is the opening scene. Yes, we already talked about when Sophie goes into the restaurant. She's reminiscing about her dad being there, and you mentioned that earlier. We talked about the whole freezer thing, so I won't go into that, but I had that down also. And then my third one was the.

Garry:

Okay.

Amy:

When they go to the salt farm and like, first of all, who knew? I mean, I'd never even heard of a salt farm, honestly, until we watched a Machu Picchu proposal. Didn't they go to, like a salt farm? Yep, they sure did, I don't know what they called it, but I mean, and that was kind of cool. I thought that was kind of cool too. And then this one I'm like what the hey that those existed, but it's crazy at any rate.

Amy:

So I just you know, I liked that because, uh, you know, sophie and cam sort of have a moment there where she apologizes to him because she has gotten up.

Amy:

She had gotten upset at him during their date right because she viewed him as stealing her the manager that we just talked about right, and so I just kind of like there was a lot of that in this movie where people just sort of apologize like oh, I had a bad day and I'm sorry, you know, like you caught me in a moment. I just I kind of like that. And during that scene, by the way, he says something like uh, when they, when they're in the restaurant and she gets upset and he's like it's not personal, it's just business, and I'm like you've got mail what do I always? Say did you think?

Garry:

I always think about.

Amy:

You've got mail and tom hanks goes to meg ryan's apartment and he's you know, he's the big corporation buying out her store and he's like it's not personal, it's just business. And she's like you know why do people say that?

Garry:

that just means it's not personal to you right it's personal to me because I'm no longer gonna have my business.

Amy:

So when he said that, I was like, oh gosh, that's like just makes me think of one of our all-time favorite rom-coms. Right, it's not hallmark, but it's excellent, um, so yeah, so her and cam have that moment, you know, and then they kind of talk about how she misses her dad. They have that moment. That's, I think, where they're sitting on the beach, kind of-ish. Well, it's not really a beach.

Garry:

Yeah, they both talk about their dad.

Amy:

I just love that scene with the water and her and you know and all that, and she talks about how, you know, she's really missing him and I think that's when he says something like he tries to just live in the now, like when he Correct, yeah, he did say that.

Amy:

Is that something like? He tries to handle things like that by just living in the moment. I thought that was really cool. So I just liked their discussion during you know all of that, and they, they kiss. Then that's the first kiss, I think, but then they're interrupted by a phone call. So I just I liked that. I liked that scene.

Garry:

That'd be my third that was your third, all right, yeah Well, do you want to move on to cheers?

Amy:

Cheers or cheers. Oh my gosh, we are all kinds of out of sorts today, this whole week.

Garry:

Sure, we can go on to cheers All.

Amy:

Sure, we can go on to cheers.

Garry:

All right, you go first, since I did it first with the.

Amy:

I my biggest cheer is just the story. I thought you know it's a hallmark formula, for sure, but the flow and pace were great.

Garry:

Right.

Amy:

Of the story. You know, we kind of again. That's something I talked about at the very beginning. It's sort of a I don't want to say stereotypical, you know formula, but it really worked in this one. It wasn't over the top, it wasn't super cheesy, it was just really good, right. So just the story. The writing. I love the fishing town of Montauk, although now it's more touristy, according to Katie Lee Beagle and her.

Amy:

Yeah, I like the story of trying to save the restaurant, even though that sort of cliche that happens, you know, I just, I really. So just generally the story. What about you?

Garry:

One of your chairs Mine was when. So Sophie got the job in Vegas right and to be the executive chef for Evelyn's restaurant in Vegas Right, and I'm so glad she didn't go because it was like a selfish type move Because, abigail, she had in her mind that she was going to sell the restaurant right before her sister got there. She was heading toward that way to help out mom Right. Because her passion was not in the restaurant.

Amy:

Was not in cooking.

Garry:

That was Sophie's passion and their the restaurant that was sophie's passion and when she and their dads and their dads. And when she turned it down and came back and you could see that abigail was like oh great, you know like you have to do because she just wanted to be with her kids. She wanted to be with her husband. She wanted to be with her husband. She didn't have the passion of cooking, and there was even a scene where she was Sophie was trying to teach her some recipes and she just that's not me.

Amy:

That's not me, yeah, and if you're not into it, I mean you're not into it.

Garry:

So I was. My cheer was the fact that she didn't take the job and she came back to help Abigail.

Amy:

Oh well, job, and she came back to help abigail oh well and she realized that could be the business she could thrive in.

Garry:

She's her own executive chef.

Amy:

She's not going to work for somebody else but her family and she's going to bring the restaurant back. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Yeah, yeah, another cheer of mine would have been and I just met and I just I talked about it during the scenes is that nobody seemed to stay upset for too long. I mean mean, it's more like real life. You might have little squabbles unless it's a really deep argument. You know you're not going to stay upset for too terribly long. Like I said, sophie apologized to Cam and you know, or she apologized to Cam for getting upset with him, and the same with Sophie and her sister. They have sort of a scruffuffle over.

Amy:

They have sort of a you know who has the most stress Olympics, kind of thing as I like to call it, you know, and Sophie, I think Sophie didn't realize when she said oh, you don't know how stressful it is in New York and blah, blah, blah, and that kind of hurts Abigail, because Abigail has been there doing the grunt work, trying to keep the restaurant afloat, working out the budget, making things work, and so she gets upset in that moment, thinking Sophie's being selfish and whatnot. But then Sophie apologizes to her the next day and then Abigail apologizes back to her sister like I'm sorry too, I was just. You know, it's been a long week or whatever, and I just I like that. It wasn't long and drawn out. You know the anger that it they didn't. It didn't have to play out for too long, it was just like they had an argument, they resolved it and we moved on and I appreciate that, you know did you have any more cheers?

Garry:

I had one, one more, and that's them not making evelyn such a yeah, yeah because when, when sophie turned down the job, she could have easily been like what are you talking about? I put my faith in you and you know, and now you're quitting when I need you. Now, yeah, she didn't, and I thought that because throughout the movie you couldn't tell, tell. You were like hmm.

Amy:

Well, she sort of bordered on it but wasn't terrible. You know, I don't know she was kind of mean, but not Right. You know she wasn't going to let Sophie go home.

Garry:

Right.

Amy:

She was trying to crack the whip there, but her boss, William, told her go home, you have 10 days. You don't have two weeks like you wanted, but you have 10 days. So Evelyn does compromise in that situation and, yeah, you're right.

Garry:

Yeah because there was another at the beginning, the part that you like, because they're trying to get ratings like a star.

Amy:

Oh right, that's the very beginning.

Garry:

And Sophie says this speech and Evelyn's kind of like whatever. But then after they got the four star rating, she came back and she was like that you know, that was a brave move or something like that. Yeah, so I'm glad they didn't make her such a bad person.

Amy:

Right Right, she's sort of strict and set in her ways, but also, you know, a little understanding. I don't know, not a lot at the beginning, but well, and she didn't want her to do the grilling, I know, and that was such a big deal. Then everybody loved what Sophie made. So she does give in eventually and admit not that she was wrong, but she's like no, that was really good.

Garry:

Right, you know. So, yeah, it was awesome.

Amy:

Yeah, my final cheer is you know I said at the beginning, I love you know, amelia Olerup, I just I adore her. She's so great. She pulls off the funny, the witty, the heartfelt. She can do it. She can do it all and do it well, and I like to. When, when Sophie and Abigail are sitting outside around the fire pit, it was so reminiscent of Chesapeake Shores.

Amy:

It was because you got the water behind them and because you know in Chesapeake Shores they would go out by the fire pit. I'm like that, that's Amelia's you know wheelhouse right there. That has to be so familiar and I wonder if she, you know, kind of thought about those days during that particular scene.

Garry:

So you know and Treat.

Amy:

Williams and all that. So, yeah, I just, I just love her and I hope we see more of her, yeah.

Garry:

I just love her and I hope we see more of her. So did you have any jeers?

Amy:

Any jeers. My biggest one is that I just didn't think the chemistry between Sophie and Cam was there.

Garry:

Yeah.

Amy:

I didn't feel it too much. I liked both of them. I liked Michael Rady and I love her, but I just they just seem like great friends. It just didn't like that spark. I didn't see it in it or feel it between them. Really, they're just kind of like going through the motions it seemed yeah, so I don't know, she seemed so eager to leave too.

Garry:

It wasn't like I'm staying for him, it was more I'm staying for the restaurant.

Amy:

Right, yeah, right, I agree with that. That was sort of a bonus for her. But yeah, yeah, what about you?

Garry:

The salt farm.

Amy:

Oh, see you, I had that as a.

Garry:

That was my idea, because one they didn't talk about the concept.

Amy:

Yeah, of getting the salt, and it wasn't a really big salt farm. No, there were like eight things.

Garry:

And were they there to get the salt or just to go see it? Because I think it was her friend or his friend or somebody's friend and they just they went there, it was.

Amy:

Sophie's friend.

Garry:

Yeah, and they didn't really, I think I don't know that's funny.

Amy:

Well, you know what's interesting though In my notes I had did they get the salt. That, yeah, exactly, I did have that, because at least in a machu picchu proposal they show them sort of shifting the, shifting the salt to get the salt.

Garry:

They didn't even touch this and I was.

Amy:

I was wondering this. I did have that down when I talked about that scene. It wasn't about the salt, it was about them on the beach having that conversation. I just really liked right. So it wasn't about the salt, it was about them on the beach having that conversation. I just really liked Right, so it wasn't about the salt itself. But yes, I get what you're saying about the salt farm. That's so funny because I kind of felt the same way.

Garry:

So, yep, you got any more jeers, or was that it Nope?

Amy:

Nope, that's it. Did you have any other ones?

Garry:

No, no Out of five Corks, how many would you give this one?

Amy:

I'd give it, I think, a solid four, four and a half. I have to choose. What would I choose? I'd probably go with a four and a half.

Garry:

Four and a half. What about you? A four?

Amy:

You'd go with a four for this one.

Garry:

Yeah, I think it was a decent movie. It was a good story. Yeah, there were some parts that you know maybe could have been touched on a little bit more.

Amy:

Yeah.

Garry:

But overall I was happy with the movie.

Amy:

Well, I just felt like you know, if the chemistry would have been there, it probably definitely would have been closer to a five for me yeah. If the chemistry really would have lit up.

Garry:

I think you're right.

Amy:

But yeah, overall, I mean, so that was the last Summer Nights film. We had three Providence Falls. Well, I mean, so that was the last Summer Nights film, we had three Providence Falls. Yes, we did Films, yep Movies, double Scoop, double Scoop and Catch of the Day. So if you had to rank them Now, the Providence Falls, I think we could put as like a. I almost think they're two separate things because it's a different type of trilogy.

Amy:

It's more of the mystery, obviously, right. I don't even know that we could rank those the same as these two, the double scoop and catch of the day.

Garry:

Right.

Amy:

What do you?

Garry:

think no, I don't think we can put them together, Right, right.

Amy:

Providence Falls, to me, was great on its own.

Garry:

Right.

Amy:

What were you going to say?

Garry:

No, no, no. I was going to say that I would just probably rank the two double scoop in this one, because it they were different from yeah, the providence falls. So out of the two, which ones did you like the most?

Amy:

I, I liked. I ranked them both about the same, I think. So I think they're. They're about. I think they were really enjoyable. I felt like they wrapped up the summer movies pretty well. Yeah, you know, especially like, okay, you have the ice cream, which is obvious. That's such a shout out to you know, summer, you know. And then you have the fishing town. You know, the touristy fishing town, vacation town. So I just I enjoyed those. I mean, I really I thought they were, I thought they were done really well. I enjoyed both of them very much. So I would, they would be about the same for me. What about you?

Garry:

Yeah, I think they're close. I think Double Scoop kind of flowed a little bit more.

Amy:

Yeah, a little better for you, a little better for me, yeah.

Garry:

But you know, the stories were good. On both of them, I enjoyed it.

Amy:

Yeah.

Garry:

Yeah, Same, yeah about the same yeah.

Amy:

Cool, so all in all a pretty good summer nights series.

Garry:

Yes, and now we're heading into the fall and we're heading into fall, fall into love right. And then what comes after that.

Amy:

Our very first Holidays, our very first Yep.

Garry:
