Fantasy-comedy romance
Added 11/14/2009
Ah Sean Patrick Flanery is gorgeous [and has gotten better with age as Hollywood men tend to do], and Sarah Michelle Gellar has come such a long way since this movie. I love the fantasy aspect of it; that all things are possible if you just really want it badly enough; and I love the relationship side of it - from his point of view, it's honest and well acted. They make a lovely couple on screen; the supporting actors are all outstanding - the Auntie drinking on the job; the quirky PA obsessed with Jonathan... it's just a great little movie.

Simply irresistable allright
Added 10/9/2009
This movie evokes such wonderful feeling. It explores food and it's relationship to human emotion. Thrown in is a love story. The colours are amazing and the wardrobe full of lovely vintage pieces.y favourite movie of all time.

The Best Romantic Fantasy
Added 10/2/2009
Only rarely is a romantic fantasy ever done right on film. This is one of those rare films. The charaacters are played perfectly and the story unfolds perfectly. This stoy does not degenerate into a formulaic romantic comedy. It has elements of comedy - in fact some truly funny moments - but even though you get more real laughs in this movie than in most supposed comedies (romantic or not) this is not primarily a comedy. This movie is about romance. It is about the wishes of our hearts. And it is a beautiful story beautifully done.
We watch this movie at least once a year- owning it makes total sense.

LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE gone loopy!
Added 7/21/2009
The premise of this movie is similar to that of LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE in that it is about a downtrodden chef that suddenly has the power to transfer her emotions into her food creations. However, this version is comical and extremely light-hearted in comparison.
Not a profoundly written film, but a good romance comedy for a quick rental. Sean Patrick Flannery is rather catching as the love interest and his assistant "Lois" played by Patricia Clarkson is wonderful with her dry wit.
Sarah Michelle Gellar is just OK, but her wardrobe (designed by Todd Oldham) deserves an honorable mention.
For foodies there are several troublesome items: Sarah Michelle Gellars character "Amanda" never wears a full chefs apron (except for once) and she constantly plays with her hair and continues cooking without washing her hands. She doesn't have her hair tied back or secured. Might not bother other people, but it really distracted me, considering she is cooking in a restaurant. Minor details I guess, but it just gets on your nerves after a while.
If you are in the mood for a light, bright and quirky romance film, nothing heavy or thought provoking, this would be a good choice for a rental.
