Achieving balance in one's life can be a difficult process, but master chef Kate Armstrong (Catherine Zeta-Jones) leads a regimented, very ordered existence running the kitchen of an exclusive restaurant and revels in the sense of power and control her career affords. When Kate's sister is unexpectedly killed in an automobile accident and her 9-year old niece Zoe (Abigail Breslin) comes to live with Kate, Kate's life is turned completely upside down and she is suddenly forced to split her focus between work and family. Enter a newly hired, fun-loving, opera-singing sous chef Nick Palmer (Aaron Eckhart), whom Kate perceives as a serious rival, and thus begins an impassioned struggle on Kate's part to rein in Nick's exuberance and maintain control over her kitchen staff. Even as they clash, Kate is inexplicably drawn toward Nick, eventually coming to the realization that Nick offers something that she needs both in her restaurant kitchen and her new life with Zoe. Based on the screenplay for Mostly Martha, Catherine Zeta-Jones carries the lead well in this romantic comedy and there's a nice chemistry between herself and Aaron Eckhart as well as a poignant performance by Abigail Breslin. And, of course, and the food looks simply scrumptious. --Tami Horiuchi

 A Quiet Movie May 20, 2009
Carolyn Gwaltney (Durham, NC USA)
I'm surprised by the low overall rating on this movie. While it isn't Oscar material, it is certainly better than mediocre. No Reservations doesn't have the goofy factor that many romance movies have, which I appreciate. Instead, this movie quietly develops the characters as we spend time with them. I thought the cast was excellent, and the characters believable. It was a satisfying way to spend a couple of hours.
Typical, but great! May 10, 2009
Rebekah (USA)
My husband picked this movie up without me knowing by just reading the back of the DVD. I had never heard of it before but it turned out to be really good. Of course it is typical, but what movie of this genre isn't? It is a little funny and the three main characters are a pleasure to watch. I also love baking/cooking so maybe that helps steer my opinion. Anyway, well worth the watch and it will make it into my regular rotation of good chick flicks!
Great movie purchase May 4, 2009

This movie was delivered as advertised, on time and in perfect condition. Will use this Amazon supplier again.
More like fast food than fine cuisine April 30, 2009

There's nothing surprising or new about this movie at all - watching it may give you a sense of deja-vu, even if you've never seen it before. All the elements are simply recycled feel-good romantic comedy bits. Still, it doesn't make it a horrible movie, just a predictable one.
The actors do a good job with the characters (especially the 'ice queen' of a heroine), the dialogue is fun, and the story moves nicely, even if you do know what's about to happen. It is a quintessential 'chick flick'. Boy meets girl, girl dislikes boy, boy and girl squabble, boy and girl fall madly in love. The cooking and child made for an interesting backdrop to the story, but it still rates solidly as an 'okay' movie. One you might put in a set of rainy Sunday afternoon feel-good movies, though it might not make the cut over some of the more charming movie of this genre.
