Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

whitplay-821-822044 I skipped over this movie quite a few times on Netflix before finally deciding to view it. I'm glad that I did. Eat with Me is a wonderfully touching movie about personal growth and communication in relationships. Many of the performances are stellar with Nicole Sullivan's turn as the kooky neighbor a stand out. But Sharon Omi's performance as a wife and mother not really sure how to fulfill either role was just mesmerizing in my opinion. Her expressions of bewilderment, of longing, of concern, and ultimately resolution are powerful. Omi is not only my new favorite actress but my new favorite human being. Eat with Me will make your hungry ... for something more out of life.

meaninglessbark Here's a review for those of you wondering if you should take the time to watch this film...Eat With Me is a fine choice if you want to watch something pleasant and mild that lacks any real drama or anything that might cause you to think. It's a good looking film that's generally well acted, but it's so barely there that it's rather forgettable and if you're intolerant of clichés you'd probably best avoid the film.There's a gay son who can't commit to love and whose career is failing, a middle aged mother who is finding herself for the first time, a wacky next door neighbor who spouts off free spirit follow- your-bliss blah blah blah, and another gay guy who definitely seems too nice to want to be with the self involved main character.Other than the mother, who is the strongest and most interesting character, most of Eat With Me is unbelievable or pointless. Even the required gay film boy on boy action is the usual frantic "WE MUST MAKE LOVE NOW!" thrashing about. (No naked, just pretty upper bodies.)There is a nice (though a little silly) cameo from George Takei who more or less magically shows up and makes some sage comments about same sex love to the mother.

farmanilla8 An absolutely charming film! It works on so many levels - as a comedy and as a heartfelt film about a mother coming to know and understand her son. The ensemble is very good, including a great appearance by the legendary George Takei at the end. All the characters are richly drawn, including a neighbor who could be a stock character but turns our to be excellent comic relief. I saw this at Frameline and the crowd went crazy for it. This should be a hit at LGBT film festivals all year. I highly recommend seeing it. It has heart and humor and the great food will make you hungry. This is one of the best LGBT films of the year, in my opinion

crystalmh3698 I saw this film at Frameline 38 in San Francisco on June 26, 2014 at 4 pm at the magnificent Castro Theater. This is the funniest movie I have seen in years. Outstanding performances from Sharon Omi and Teddy Chen Culver as Mom and Son - who have no idea how to communicate with each other. Mom leaves Dad (because they don't know how to communicate with each other) moves in with Son and wackiness happens. Nicole Sullivan is the free spirited next door neighbor who steals every scene she is in. David Au's writing is brilliant and Nicole's comedic delivery and timing is perfect. George Takai makes a wonderful appearance and there are some dumplings thrown in the mix. This is a fabulous, fun, family film with food and everyone should see it. I saw 25 films at Frameline this year and this was my favorite.
