I'm very picky about giving high ratings to movies and TV shows. I liked everything about this movie adaptation of the manga.

It skips over the detailed filler from the manga without losing the backstory or slowing the present story. The characters remain true to the original concepts and are depicted well in all aspects. The presentation of desserts is artistically beautiful and temptingly alluring.

The entire cast is well chosen; from the main characters to the school girls who swoon over them. For the entire two hours, you are cheering each character on regardless of what he wants to accomplish. I want to reach through the screen and hug the bodyguard on multiple occasions. I want to do the same to the chef but for far different reasons. I even want to sit with the school girls and join in their chatter.

The music is well chosen for each scene, but no one song or piece stands out and shouts to be heard. It all flows well, supporting the movie as audible background. The artistic presentation of making the desserts and displaying them is mouthwatering. The same effort is used with the actors who represent their characters; emphasizing their uniqueness but natural cohesiveness.

While the credits were rolling, I wondered about what each character was going to do next. It's not that I want a sequel; simply that invested in how their individual stories make up the overall story. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes this review.
