Plot: Love, sex, and food combine in this sensuous romantic comedy. Isabella (Penelope Cruz) is a master chef who suffers from severe motion sickness, requiring her to be in control of her movements at all times. This need extends to the bedroom, but her husband Tonino (Murilo Benicio), who owns the restaurant where she works, doesn't like to make love in the fashion suggested by the title. This is hardly the only thing about their relationship that she finds stifling, and when Isabella discovers Tonino in bed with another woman, she leaves for America, where with the help of cross-dressing friend Monica (Harold Perrineau Jr.), she becomes a star as the host of a TV cooking show, Passion Foods Live. Woman on Top was the first American film from Venezuelan director Fina Torres. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Does not deserve 1 star!
Added 9/19/2009

This disaster does not deserve even 1 star. Horrible acting - especially the husband/boyfriend seem to read their lines from a teleprompter. Screenplay is dumb and boring. The scene were half of the cities male population follows in P. Cruz fotsteps is ridiculous. Half way thru I thought this can't get any worse, guess what - IT DID! An insult to intelligent movie goers. SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. Maybe eye candy for the guys - Penelope C. is beautiful, an actress she is not. r,

Totally delightful Penelope Cruz
Added 1/31/2009

It's a story about an unsinkable woman who flees a bad relationship in Brazil and ends up in San Francisco, where she cooks up a storm of wonderful Brazilian food for the locals. Beautifully shot in San Francisco and my favorite Brazilian city, where I am at home, Salvador. Cruz shines and inspires.
