Editorial Review:
Warner Brothers No Reservations (Blu-ray)
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:
Mrs. G
2008-06-26 - I don't care what some say.
There is nothing new under the sun... so yes, you can figure out the story.
So what?

There was no nudity and I can't recall profanity but I do have TVG.
It was a sweet, romantic story.


Boring and predictable
2008-06-06 - I could hardly finish this movie. There was so little dialogue, and so little action. Most of the scenes were silent, and we were just watching people walk around or cook. I was bored sick, and I don't reccomend this film unless you want to fall asleep.

I love Catherine Zeta Jones because she's so charming, Aaron Eckheart was likeable, and Abigail Breslin is a brilliant little actress, but none of them could save this movie. It was a waste of money and talent. It seems like they used the script for another film, but just took out what they couldn't use instead of re-writing it. The trailer makes it look entertaining and fun, but it wasn't. I was disappointed, and I wanted to turn it off before we were at the end. I just kept thinking that it would be over any time, but it dragged on and on.

There are no surprises and no scenes that are worth watching the movie for. Everything was bland and boring. Don't bother watching it. If you read a review of it by a good writer, that will be more interesting than the film itself.

No Reservations, served well
2008-06-02 - If you enjoy romantic dramas I would say this is a pretty decent one. However, this is not a romantic comedy. Comedy means funny and it isn't funny very often. The main character or heroine, Kate, feels she is missing out on something in her life and her psychiatrist makes that abundently clear. When she loses her sister in a car accident she is left with a niece, Zoe, that is overwhelmed with her mothers death. The two try to cope with the loss. Meanwhile Kate is working as a top ten chef in a elegant New York restaurant. As she and her niece are working out their issues Kate takes some time off to spend with Zoe. When Kate returns she finds there is a new sous chef, Nick, that is hansom, funny (assumed as we see people laughing, but we never hear the jokes), and a pretty good chef that could be running his own kitchen. Kate sees this as a threat to her position and goes ballistic. Eventually she calms down and Nick and her relationship starts to blossom. My wife and I enjoyed it. Good quality DVD with decent replayability.

Good Eats
2008-05-31 - My husband and I loved this movie and highly recommend it to anyone who likes to eat, likes to watch romantic comedies, likes a movie with no foul language, and even those who like Ratatouille.

Very Enjoyable
2008-05-23 - Katherine Zeta-Jones plays a master chef at a NYC restaurant with no time for anything or anyone else in her life. That is, until her niece (Abigail Breslin) comes to live with her, then subtle changes begin to take place. During this time, a sous-chef (Aaron Eckhart) is hired at the restaurant (without her knowledge) and he brings with him several changes, both to the restaurant and to Katherine Zeta-Jones' life. The script is light and easy and the acting excellent. This is a cute movie and worth viewing.
