I thought the older woman was trying to get her friends back together by having them get back at HER for her comments on the local news. Then they'd find out it was all a rouse to make the ladies become friends again. She knew the kids would be less careful about hiding their recipes. I was hoping she would bake her own recipe. Not a fan of making her an actual villain. So she's not a bake off champ? It's not her thing, maybe she just does it for fun and she's the best at something else. Oh well. Hallmark movies rarely have a satisfying ending. I hate when they kiss in front of a huge crowd and everyone claps. That's so cringe.

Could have ended better
Predictable? You betcha. But I still recommend it.
When the story begins, Faye and Lydia go from long-time friends to bitter enemies. They soon open up rival bakeries and insist that their families honor their stupid feud. The husbands don't like this, because they are friends and Faye and Lydia even insist that their children follow along with their ridiculous arguments. And, for years, the pair compete against each other in a local pumpkin pie cooking contest. But this year is different. Faye is injured and needs her daughter Casey to compete for her...which is a problem since Casey is not a brilliant baker. At the same time, Lydia has decided to step aside and let her son Sam compete. Problems develop when Casey and Sam realize that they actually LIKE each other...and in fact, they are falling in love! But their mothers insist that the feud be continued....period. So what's next? See the film.
I'll be the first to admit that this Hallmark movie is formulaic and mostly predictable. BUT, it's made so well that I didn't mind at all...and I had a nice time watching it. Unless you are a curmudgeon, you, too, will likely enjoy this sweet tale.
A Hallmark movie that worked.
I mentioned this film on another review so felt I should have reviewed it. One of the few Hallmark films that worked, the leads had chemistry, the story was logical and the supporting cast was good. Don't know why Julie Gonzalo and Eric Aragon weren't cast together in any other Hallmark film since 2016. The writing is so generally poor in Hallmark films and their leads aren't all that consistently good, they should be focused on movies that really work like "Pumpkin Pie Wars" and similar films.
