absolutely adore this movie. There are two things I love cooking and romance movies and they combined both.

I wish they didn't advertise this picture as a romantic comedy because, coming into the film, I expected to laugh and feel warm. Instead, it's really more about how a child copes through the death of her mother. The film was depressing more than half of the time and I think Abigail Breslin stole the show from Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart. Zeta-Jones' character is kind of hard to relate to because not only is she cold, she doesn't even know who she is! I felt like Eckhart kept winking at the camera and it got somewhat annoying. Still, the best material here works: which is how Breslin deals with a tragedy. I must also mention that the film feels longer than it is. This should've been an hour-and-a-half maximum. There were so many slow parts and by the end, it felt like the story …
