Love by Chance

2016 · 84 min

A cozy, breezy romantic comedy that coasts on charm, kitchen bustle and mild mother-daughter scheming, easy to half-watch.

Overview: Claire, an ambitious pastry chef, is busy running her new restaurant, but her meddling mom is preoccupied with her lack of love life. Without her knowledge, Claire’s mother finds her the perfect man, but when Claire finds out it wasn’t fate that brought them together, it could ruin the relationship.
