Editorial Review:
A perfectionist chef addicted to her work struggles to adjust when her sister passes away leaving her with a little girl to raise and a new soup-chef threatens to take over her kitchen with his high-spirited and free-wheeling ways.
Description of No Reservations [Blu-ray]:
Achieving balance in one's life can be a difficult process, but master chef Kate Armstrong (Catherine Zeta-Jones) leads a regimented, very ordered existence running the kitchen of an exclusive restaurant and revels in the sense of power and control her career affords. When Kate's sister is unexpectedly killed in an automobile accident and her 9-year old niece Zoe (Abigail Breslin) comes to live with Kate, Kate's life is turned completely upside down and she is suddenly forced to split her focus between work and family. Enter a newly hired, fun-loving, opera-singing sous chef Nick Palmer (Aaron Eckhart), whom Kate perceives as a serious rival, and thus begins an impassioned struggle on Kate's part to rein in Nick's exuberance and maintain control over her kitchen staff. Even as they clash, Kate is inexplicably drawn toward Nick, eventually coming to the realization that Nick offers something that she needs both in her restaurant kitchen and her new life with Zoe. Based on the screenplay for Mostly Martha, Catherine Zeta-Jones carries the lead well in this romantic comedy and there's a nice chemistry between herself and Aaron Eckhart as well as a poignant performance by Abigail Breslin. And, of course, and the food looks simply scrumptious. --Tami Horiuchi
No Reservations [Blu-ray] Reviews:
No Reservations 
2009-12-19 - This show was one of my favorite..It is a great romance story, but what really is the best is there is not a lot of foul language and it is a great story. Most of the setting takes place in the kitchen so that puts it in a family setting to begin with. I watched it 3 times and probably will watch it again. The woman has problems of her own and ends up taking care of her niece. Her niece helps her to straighten out her life and the rest you have to watch for yourself..Buy this movie.....! I don't think you will regret it.
Quickly delivered to me and great movie!

2009-10-25 - It was a good for a sunday's afternoon but it's not a keeper for me.
Great Friday Night Flick 
2009-10-01 - If you love to cook and enjoy watching romance movies, then you'll like this one. Just watching Catherine Zeta-Jone's character make scallops, creme brulee,cheesecake, and pomme frites with steak, warmed my heart. The part where they eat tiramisu by the fireside made me melt. As I love to cook a great gourmet meal every now and then, watching people cook in this film reminded me of watching The Food Network.
As for the movie itself, in the beginning Catherine Zeta-Jone's character is real control freak. She's a talented chef but is extremely anti-social, rude, and arrogant. But then she starts working with a fun and unconventional sous chef who gets her to come out of her shell. Sure they bump heads not to mention ruin a few dinner orders, but in the end it all works out. In addition a wonderful relationship between the main character and her orphan niece develops beautifully. A great film to enjoy with a bottle of wine on a Friday night.
