“Pumpkin Pie Wars” (*1/2 out of four) was a treacly family melodrama/love story about two rival bakery owners in Ohio whose children (Julie Gonzalo and Eric Aragon) decades later go head-to-head in a pumpkin-pie contest which starts out as a bitter rivalry but (to the surprise of no one) they gradually fall in love. Made of artificial ingredients and lots of sugary sentiments that make this a really gooey pie to digest. A real surprise from the director of “I Spit On Your Grave” but based on this- he may want to stick with movies about sexual assault and revenge instead of family dramas.
