I was really looking forward to this as I have just returned from Lisbon and I am a chef!. However this movie was disappointing!! I'm not sure where they get these B-grade actors from - it spoils what is an already average movie. At the very least - they could have given the actress who plays Anna some basic training on how to use a knife and taught her how to chop/slice the vegetables. As soon as I saw how bad she was I knew it was going to be an average movie. The other disappointing fact was that there were hardly any scenes actually shot in Lisbon - it was mainly outside of the city. I suggest you don't waste your time - a predictable film with an even more predictable ending.

I didn't expect to like this movie as much as I did!! I usually find the whole American going into the Aussie bush scenario quite cringe worthy. However this movie really showcases just how beautiful our country is and together with the use of Australian music, Aussie characters - makes a lovely little movie.
