Something's cooking...indeed! :)

When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I knew it was one that was an absolute must-see, and one that I would be adding to my own DVD collection. :)
So I waited with bated breath to see it in the theater, and I was not disappointed. It was pure delight from start to finish, and the most apt way that I can describe it is by saying that *it's a feast for the senses.* I'm not sure what it is about cooking and chefs, but stories that surround these aspects of life are just colorful, flavorful and can be enjoyed by the dozen. I felt the same way about Ratatouille and was struck by how similar the two movies are, and I give them both two very enthusiastic thumbs up!
Catherine Zeta-Jones is charming and gorgeous as always, and her co-star Aaron Eckhart is a delight to watch. The two are well matched with undeniable chemistry that sizzles in the kitchen, and on-screen! And little Abigail Breslin is just too adorable and talented for words, and gives a charming and heartfelt performance.
For a romantic comedy, which is without a doubt my favorite movie genre, this is top-notch, and a utterly beautiful film. I laughed, I cried and I cheered at the end. For a cute, fluffy, feel-good movie peppered with humor, romance and delectable cuisine, this one totally surpassed all my expectations. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this one an 11! Bravo!
