Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk 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) moves in with her, 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 towards Nick, eventually coming to the realisation that Nick offers something that she needs both in her restaurant kitchen and her new life with Zoe. Based on the screenplay for iMostly Martha/i, 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

It represents the balance that so many people have in their lives where work becomes them and takes over their lives. I think that the emotion catherine zeta jones portrays is spot on. I would deffinately recommend that you add this to your dvd collection its one of those films you could watch over and over and still love. No Reservation June 8, 2009 Michael (Morecambe, UK) No Reservations [DVD] [2007] br /No Reservations is a nice light 2007 American romantic film staring Catherine Zeta-Jones and directed by Scott Hicks. It is set in a Greenwich Village restaurant and whilst I realise its a pretty bad pun, I have "No Reservation" in recommending it. Good remake of Bella Martha July 10, 2008 N. L. Esq 1 out of 2 found this review helpful I loved the original film German film "Bella Martha" (retitled Mostly Martha in the UK), and when I saw a clip of this film it seemed strangely familiar the camera angles were the same, the timing was the same, and then I realised that it was a remake. I'd agree that perhaps this film is not quite as good as Bella Martha, because the characters are not quite so gritty - But the Americanisation is quite limited - no heavy smoking and the story about the downstairs neighbour has been reduced to the point where it didn't need to be there at all. But for those who don't want to spend a couple of hours watching a German film, with or without subtitles, I'd recommend this film highly. It has like Adrienne Shelly's, Waitress a depth that many other romantic comedies don't have. Showing reviews 1-5 of 19 1 2 3 4 Next »
