    She is hot in this !!!!!Call it Buffy the Culinary Slayer. Sarah Michelle Gellar, who usually runs around staking vampires and fighting demons, turns cute and cuddly as an aspiring chef in this magical-realist comedy.

    This is really bad, and unfunny. But for some reason I find it pleasant.
