comments Recipe for Seduction, the Lifetime short starring Mario Lopez as a hunky Colonel Sanders, is nothing but an extended KFC commercial. It doesn t honestly pretend to be anything else. The movie opens with a male announcer s gravelly voice telling viewers that this piping-hot love affair of deep-fried romantic goodness is presented by Kentucky Fried Chicken.
The next 15 minutes is basically a bucket of Original Recipe with a side order of melodrama. In Recipe for Seduction, the sweet Jessica Mancera (Justine Alpert) rejects a proposal from her boyfriend Billy Garibaldi (Chad Doreck), who is the human equivalent of an IZOD sweater. This enrages her mother, Bunny (Tessa Munro).
