After a rocky start this settles down to be a rather good Hallmark film, their first Easter themed one I believe.
Lots of nice moments here, I enjoyed it.

Plot summary
As the lucrative Easter season approaches, Seattle-based but nationally distributed Cavendish Chocolates, a three-generational family business known for its hand-crafted chocolates, faces tough times with changes in the industry and increasing competition, especially from aggressive and trendy ChocMate. Director of Operations Carter Daron recommends a move toward going fully automated, despite its initial automation changes having not reaped the desired turnaround in the company's sagging fortunes. Before doing so, company president/CEO Foster Cavendish wants to talk to the employees at the company's flagship factory in Sweetwater, Washington to get an "at the ground level" perspective of the already-made changes. Fearing that the employees will not be forthright to a Cavendish, he instead decides to send someone to the factory undercover to get that unfiltered perspective. He chooses his daughter, business graduate Erin Cavendish, who Foster was able to convince to work at the company following graduation in the role of Director of Marketing, albeit only temporarily. Her move to a new company in the fall is more wanting to be her own person in not having Cavendish Chocolates be her de facto life rather than running toward that other company and job. In reluctantly accepting the assignment, Erin has two major challenges: hiding her identity in Sweetwater; and being able to do factory work at which she has no experience. In getting that at ground intel, Erin faces another challenge: dealing with the guilt of deceiving her new friends, especially head chocolatier Bryan Bailey, a recent widower. Furthermore, are she and Bryan falling for each other?

Easter Under Wraps
Great movie
Overall great movie the leads were amazing and the storylines were good.
Bunnies
Very predictable especially tying up all the loose ends so that everyone gets a treat, except poor Carter.
You knew Bryan wouldn't be happy with the secret identity, but let's face it, there is a television series about executives going under cover in their own company. The principle makes sense. Bryan basically threw a tantrum. As to who was responsible for the success of his project, anyone who knows big business knows that sometimes doors are securely locked against you until someone opens one for a special opportunity. Unfortunately, without this plot device, there would be no climax - it was just unfortunate how clumsily it was done.
There were some sweet (I had to say it) moments that helped rescue the whole story.
The acting was OK. The leads were OK. They had some chemistry, but nothing outstanding. The little girl was too cute (as in too much).
