No Reservations Reviews

I was surprised by this movie. Shortly after the movie began I realized it was going to be different from what I expected.  I just thought it would be a fun love story that involved yummy scenes of cooking.  It does include love, and it does include yummy scenes of cooking, but it has a lot more depth than that.  I won't give anything away but I highly recommend it.  Catherine is fabulous and the man (can't think of his name right now) is delicious.  Her niece in the movie is one to love (she was first in Little Miss… read full review »

I have come to really like Catherine Zeta-Jones as an actress and she plays a great role in this lighthearted drama.  She stars as Kate, an award winning chef who is not only a perfectionist but also anal-retentive.  Her life is thrown for a loop when tragedy strikes and she becomes guardian of her niece.  Not only does she have to quickly learn to be a parent, but she must also learn to deal with a new arrogant chef who has come to take Kate's place at her restaurant while Kate gets her life together.  The movie is filled with comedy and drama as Kate learns to find love… read full review »

These days it is hard to find a good movie the whole family can enjoy without a bunch of profanity, violence, and sex. This movie hits the mark. Some might say it is "slow", but they are the ones looking for all the for mentioned. Someone else stated, "implies that sex is had". Well thats the way a movie should be. Yea, we all have sex, out of marriage and in, but do we always need to see it on the screen? Can't it be, implied, like it use to be. ie...cut to the curtains, window, trees, etc...Why do we need to see it? Does that sell tickets? Yes, unfortunately in today's world, that is what… read full review »

In "No Reservations" Catherine Zeta-Jones does some fantastic acting and a fabulous job of cooking up some laughs! This is a heart-warmer centered around a dead sister and a motherless child which Zeta-Jones' character takes into her home and her very structured life. Not the best at being a mom at first, she quickly gets it into gear with the help of the love-interest in this film and they all click together beautifully. I saw this movie three times and I'm telling you... its worth watching.… read full review »

This story is just a feel good movie. A little girl is sent to live with her aunt when her mom dies. Unfortunately the aunt has no clue how to raise a kid, let alone do it and run a kitchen. She is a well known chef at a local restaurant and finds raising a kid hard to do. The restaurant hires an assistant chef to help her. This causes some major problems, but it eventually all gets resolved and love starts to bloom. A really good movie for the whole family — —… read full review »

This movie started off slowly and got getter as it went.  At first I thought it was going to be sas and disjointed.  None of the characters seems to connect and the main character seemed to be a real witch with no redeeming qualities. — — As the movie progressed, it became obvious that the main character did have some hidden depth.  All's well that ends well! —… read full review »

"No Reservations" will reignite an intrigue for cooking and the artistic expression found therein. As an NYC lover, the shooting of this film is beautiful as well. The plot did seem to give an emotional roller coaster which may not have been completely necessary 100% of the time, but it's an adorable film of people learning to love and live all over again.… read full review »

I thought the movie was good but it could have needed a little more romance in the movie. I hated how the romance only lasted about 5 minutes in the movie and that was at the end. I wish they were to extend that more. I love romance movies and this movie wasnt my top one but it was still… read full review »
