Pie in the face

I'm shocked about the good reviews this movie (i can't even bring myself to call it a film) is getting. The script is awful, the acting was poor, the characters were cliché, the editing and sound design were sub-par, the direction was confusing, the dialog was just plain un-believable. Of course I'm sad that she was murdered, but that doesn't make this nearly unwatchable POS any better.
The most offensive part of the whole movie was the victim mentality of the lead. She's always waiting for that next thing to save her. Her job sucks but she's trapped. Her marriage sucks but she's trapped. And of course, she gets saved in the end by her knight in wrinkled armor. No thanks to her.
And a word about pies, if I may. WTF? Is there any reason for her talent besides a not-too-clever plot device? How did the CENTRAL metaphor of the movie tie in with the B-story?
Oh, those pies mostly looked disgusting.
