If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the cinema! Kitchen movies are quite the fad right now, what with Waitress on release, and Pixar's Ratatouille at your local car boot(-leg) sale. A... read more »
What do we have on the menu here ? A good scoop of the notorious rivalry between chefs, a large helping of romance, add a cool young kid for good measure, and mix it all up. Though it might not be the most stunningly original story to hit the big screen, it should definately make it onto your main order. This an excellent feel good, mostly fluffy, film about breaking down barriers. Young 11 year old Abigail Breslin is brilliant as Zoe, and the whole thing just works for me.
So can you after all share a kitchen, and share a life, watch it and find out. A definate recommended watch.
Only watched this last night and to be quite honest I can hardly remember it! Probably sums it up pretty well... unmemorable; yup thats about it.
The performance of the young actress who plays Zoe was very good but this is a fairly weak tale in the rom-com mould that we've seen far to often, but there is nothing to make this one stand out - in fact there's not much com in this rom-com!
After saying that, there's nothing offensive about this movie either. It was one of those films that when it finishes you turn to your partner and ask; 'What did you think of that?' and get the reply 'It was alright' and thats it. It will never be discussed, thought of or mentioned ever again - instantly forgotten... sigh.
