Cooking Up Love delivers a modestly paced romance that struggles to sustain engagement beyond its initial premise. The narrative relies on familiar tropes and presents several implausible plot points, resulting in a hurried conclusion that undercuts emotional payoff. While a few performances show occasional chemistry, the overall execution feels uneven and fails to leave a lasting impression. Consequently, the film offers limited appeal for repeat viewings.
