Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam Arnold
By far the best thing about it is Zeta-Jones. Read full review

ReelViewsJames Berardinelli
No Reservations may not be a modern day classic but, despite the relatively small budget, it has more heart than nearly anything currently playing in multiplexes. Read full review

Christian Science MonitorPeter Rainer
See it after you've eaten dinner. And don't see if you've recently been to "Ratatouille." Read full review

USA TodayClaudia Puig
The romance, which commences rather gradually, is tender, but not graphic. Humor is interspersed throughout, but there also is sadness, handled seriously. Actually, it is as much a family saga as it is a romantic comedy. Read full review

VarietyTodd McCarthy
Agreeably prepared and attractively presented, this remake of the tasty 2001 German feature "Mostly Martha" bears too many earmarks of Hollywood packaging and emotional button-pushing, but doesn't go far wrong by closely sticking to the original's smart story construction. Read full review

Village VoiceRobert Wilonsky
The cynic would like to write this off as empty grown-up hooey, "Baby Boom" without an ounce of bang. But you can't do it, because the thing's so charming and frothy and delightful and sentimental and beautifully shot and well-acted and sincere that it takes a good couple of hours before you start craving real nourishment.

The New York TimesMatt Zoller Seitz
The emotional details of Kate, Nick and Zoe’s journey are surprising, honest and life-size, and the film’s determination to present their predicament sympathetically, without appealing to retrograde ideals of femininity and motherhood, makes it notable, and in some ways unique. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam Lacey
A passable romantic dish, a good-looking, old-fashioned date movie set in an idealized Greenwich Village, evocative of the better Woody Allen films. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineKen Fox
It's handsomely shot by Stuart Dryburgh and nicely acted, and if it tastes a bit bland, you'll soon forget that, along with just about everything else about it. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy Burr
The movie's pleasant and light, though, and its emotional crises are the crust on an acceptably edible crème brulee. Read full review

Charlotte ObserverLawrence Toppman
It takes its plot from the 2001 German film about a workaholic chef, dumbing down the original slightly and inserting a couple of phony crises. You're spared not only subtitles but subtlety. Read full review

Miami HeraldConnie Ogle
Fails to offer a single moment you don't see coming but its cast is appealing, and it provides a welcome respite from young wizards, talking robots that turn into trucks and other staples of this long, hot, boy-focused summer. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerCarrie Rickey
Alas, not even Eckhart and Breslin can get Zeta-Jones to simmer. Read full review
