Critic Reviews

Marjorie Baumgarten

Only a quite over-the-top character played by Raquel Welch strikes any false note. Otherwise, Tortilla Soup is a real chef's special. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

As tasty and nourishing as one of Martin's finest meals. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

English-language remakes of foreign films are usually suspect, but Tortilla Soup is the exception that proves the rule - a flavorful comedy about a food-centric Latino family in Los Angeles. Read full review

William Arnold

In spirit and nuance, this is an amazingly faithful remake. Read full review

Jack Mathews

If you care more about the quality of the movie than the food, language or location, there's no choice: Order Chinese. Read full review

Michael O'Sullivan

Overwhelmingly predictable despite its cute surprise ending, Tortilla Soup is a filling but unoriginal dish. Read full review

Paul Malcolm
