Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

oceanspitfire Cheap rom com formula plot, workaholic aunt inherits niece after sibling dies- this basic formula has been done to death. As a chef I thought it would at least make it more palatable to watch from a industry interest standpoint. So my advice is if you are a fellow chef you should run for the hills. there is no fancy resto on god's green earth that is run this way- I could list for days all the reasons why. If you're not a chef, but watch the endless number of food network shows and movies such as this, then please do not ever become one based on these kinds of shows ok? please? this is not reality, If I didn't like breslin I would have passed entirely. I give 1 star because there is nothing strong about characters or sub plots or interactions, and the plot if you are marking on predicability warrants a 10 out of 10. However whoever wrote the script should be either charged with plagiarism or put out to pasture.

sscarito This movie really really had a long beginning. In the first ten minutes, QUAIL was mentioned a total of 50 times. If I had a PENNY for how many times this movie mentioned quail and saffron sauce, I'd be richer than our President. Although the only liar and rat is Nick, the male lead, this is a definitive copy of Ratatouille. I was quite shook by the death of the sister, and in all honesty the daughter didn't contribute to the plot as much as needed. It was like the movie wanted to be a Drama, a Comedy, and a Romance all at once. It was quite the mess. It was no quail. It was no quality. Both the answering machine, and the weatherman were MALE. Barbaric! The only female leads were the female lead, the female boss, and the female child. AND THE PREGNANT LADY AND THE ACTRESS. There was no females at all!! Throughout the movie, despite Kate's various rules- she followed NO health regulations. Even though the food made me quite hungry, the way she handled it did not at all. And oh, quail. Anyways, the actress girl and the couple all went to the freezer often- to do their own activities idk whatever. The child claimed to only like Italian food YET she liked the pancakes SO. this is clearly a lie. Kate left the child alone so many times, or with untrustworthy human beings- WTF WAS SHE DOING. For a professional chef, this woman knows nothing of cooking to people's likes. THIS IS A CHILD. a white child. she knows not how to eat a whole fish. such as my friend jasmine. kate refused to feed the child fish sticks at first EVEN THO her whole restaurant ONLY HAS QUAIL. A FISH! would you believe that. oh quail. Kate refuses to eat in the afternoon- THAT'S MOST OF THE DAY. What kind of health professional chef doesn't eat in the afternoon. Throughout the story, we learn that Nick is a Liar. AND HE WEARS CROCS AND PJS. crocs? children's ENEMY. ADULTS lawsuits.Even when the babysitter SMOKED Kate was barely concerned. Just threw it out. Oh, and quail. Kate forgets her kid, even though legit it's like her only responsibility. Liek honey, get your life together. Many characters serve no purpose in the story, and could easily be cut out with the knife that Kate carries everywhere- cuts papers with- and maybe people we don't know. Jasmine gave up on speaking by now. Quail. Anyways, the movie had Michael Bible music, making it redeemable. Nick was smoking someone the entire movie. He is legit a 14 year old in a man's body. Zoe is older. This child. THIS CHILD. Oh my freaking quail. This child, she told her school that she was SLAVING away in the kitchen for room and board with her aunt. W T F. She also ran into the street with cars. Nick finally started wearing pants. Meagan was SHOOKTH. Kate keeps getting an accent- then losing it MID WAY HER SENTENCE. Much diversity of language. Much proud. Much Spanish. The kissing didn't have slurping sounds, A+. She said it tasted like Quail. Girl slays and quits job. She says im done with the patriarchy. They open diner. Twins are different kids. wtf. We are done.

SimonJack For anyone who hasn't seen the 2001 German film, "Mostly Martha," this movie will pass as a good story. But, those of us who have seen the original have a standard with which to compare. Thus, my rating of six stars for "No Reservations." The performances here are okay, with even more humor written into this all American version. But, that's precisely one of the big drawbacks to this film compared to the original. In "Martha," much of the substance of the film flowed from the differences of two countries – Germany and Italy. The principal characters fit that scheme. But the biggest aspect is the seeming naturalness of the original film. It was an original story and it seemed to flow naturally. Whereas, one is more aware of the acting in this movie. Naturally, the script has some changes as well. But, this movie is never able to bring out the nuances of Martha from the original. Kate, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones, doesn't seem to be the same intense, then conflicted, and gradually warming character. And, Aaron Eckhart's Nick seems more of an amiable, good-hearted character – a nice likable guy one might see in any restaurant kitchen. Rather, in "Martha," Mario stands out as a character in the Hamburg kitchen. Sergio Castellitto played the part as a foreigner who nevertheless knows his business and is welcomed. Again, this isn't a bad film. Most people will enjoy it. But for those who have seen the original, it comes across as very light and just so-so.

smsalyers This is a cutesy, Styrofoam-plastic, Hollywood remake of a beautiful and moving German film, 'Mostly Martha'. 'No Reservations tells, blow by blow, exactly the same story - and even the lines trailed on IMDb are directly lifted from the original: Therapist: Kate/Martha, I'm sure you will be able to prevent the worst from happening. Kate/Martha: And that would be? Therapist: That he will tolerate you for any length of time. And yet, No Reservations, is unrecognizable as the offspring of its lovely parent. It's pleasant, forgettable stuff. After all, what can you expect from a romantic comedy? Listen up, Hollywood; 'Mostly Martha', with its movingly drawn, flawed, three dimensional characters, its loving lenses into a compelling world AND the humor, the romance, the feel-good journey through transformation, is what we have a right to expect!
