L'amour en cuisine

A sweet film. Wonderful performances from the cast all round. Great chemistry with the leads who played Alice and Christian. A real feel good movie. But I really came here for the food, I'm a real foodie. It looked delicious!

The story concept was cute. Not too over the top with the romance drama. But the French chef wanted to make me gag, like the food critic. That accent was the worst ever!! I'll give it 5 stars because I actually watched all of it.

Yes it's predictable but nevertheless enjoyable. Good acting, a little different script but most of all a good old fashioned love story without sex, nudity, foul language and no blasphemy! What a joy for a change!

I watched this movie as I like what I read from its synopsis. But what the synopsis never tells is how the movie's end result would be like.

The movie had potential, but acting by some of the main characters were wooden at best. The worst by far is by the main male lead. He came across trying too hard to play the part, and trying to look cool, which he didn't accomplished in my opinion. The rest did a good job.

The editing could have been a little better. It just lacked some atmosphere in some areas, and there were pockets moments which I believe were meant to be more intimate but came across being boring instead.

VERDICT: It's not that terrible a movie. If you can ignore the male lead's acting efforts and it's a nice feel-good movie. Perfect for these times.

Unfortunately I have to watch closed captioning because of a little loss of hearing but I could even tell how incredibly inaccurate the closed captioning was. This ranks as one of the worse closed captions I have ever seen.

Here's a simple example of how bad the closed captioning is. Actor really said: "I forgot how fun this is." Closed captioning: "I forgot our funguses."

Other than that, the movie was enjoyable albeit a little predictable.
