Pretty and pleasing, but no more. A bon-bon, not a meal. Read full review

Instead of focusing on gastronomic nirvana, this listless culinary drama feels and looks more like a glossy European travel commercial. Read full review

Miserly on food porn but not on prefab characters, it's well short of a cinematic feast. Read full review

The movie was ok for a boring tour on the interstate, but I've watched it only for 62 minutes. After that I switched to some other stuff that seemed to be more interesting.
