Brothers Dominic (Scott Baio), Eddie (Billy Mott) and Pino (Shuler Hensley) run a bakery together in Pittsburgh but don't spend much time together outside of that. When Bella (Rosemary Prinz), a lifelong family friend, is given only a few months to live, Dominic decides to pay one last tribute to the old woman by finding her estranged daughter and bringing her home. When he learns that Bella has been saving for a wedding for her daughter, who is not engaged, Dominic finds himself in a pickle.

If you're willing to swallow those formulaic plot machinations, you may reasonably enjoy this rough-hewn debut effort, which is far more effective in its quieter, dialogue-heavy moments than when it attempts more ambitious cinematic conceits.

For a directorial debut, The Bread, My Sweet shows some promise, but Martin will have to engage her audience more if she wants to make a mark in film.

Performances are really what count in a character-driven romantic comedy like this, and each is well above the indie average.
