I really enjoyed this movie and thought Catherine Zeta Jones and Aaron Eckhart had some good chemistry going on. Abigail Breslin also turned in a pretty good performance. The story line was good and even though the ending was pretty predictable...

It's more of a comedy than anything else. Good if you have some company with you ;)

I have to say that this is a really good movie and fun to watch. The story behind it is really good and the actors that work in this movie are fantastic. After seeing this movie it might make you a bit hungry though hehe...

Abigail Breslin is the most natural child actor working today!

I liked this movie because of all the things that had to do with cooking and family. Sometimes I watch tv shows that have to do with family because I wish someday to be a part of that family.

  By far the best thing about it is Zeta-Jones.

  The romance, which commences rather gradually, is tender, but not graphic. Humor is interspersed throughout, but there also is sadness, handled seriously. Actually, it is as much a family saga as it is a romantic comedy.

  See it after you've eaten dinner. And don't see if you've recently been to "Ratatouille."

  No Reservations may not be a modern day classic but, despite the relatively small budget, it has more heart than nearly anything currently playing in multiplexes.

  Agreeably prepared and attractively presented, this remake of the tasty 2001 German feature "Mostly Martha" bears too many earmarks of Hollywood packaging and emotional button-pushing, but doesn't go far wrong by closely sticking to the original's smart story construction.

  The cynic would like to write this off as empty grown-up hooey, "Baby Boom" without an ounce of bang. But you can't do it, because the thing's so charming and frothy and delightful and sentimental and beautifully shot and well-acted and sincere that it takes a good couple of hours before you start craving real nourishment.

  The emotional details of Kate, Nick and Zoe's journey are surprising, honest and life-size, and the film's determination to present their predicament sympathetically, without appealing to retrograde ideals of femininity and motherhood, makes it notable, and in some ways unique.

  A passable romantic dish, a good-looking, old-fashioned date movie set in an idealized Greenwich Village, evocative of the better Woody Allen films.

  It's handsomely shot by Stuart Dryburgh and nicely acted, and if it tastes a bit bland, you'll soon forget that, along with just about everything else about it.

  The movie's pleasant and light, though, and its emotional crises are the crust on an acceptably edible crème brulee.

  It takes its plot from the 2001 German film about a workaholic chef, dumbing down the original slightly and inserting a couple of phony crises. You're spared not only subtitles but subtlety.

  Fails to offer a single moment you don't see coming but its cast is appealing, and it provides a welcome respite from young wizards, talking robots that turn into trucks and other staples of this long, hot, boy-focused summer.

  Alas, not even Eckhart and Breslin can get Zeta-Jones to simmer.

  I generally wince at the thought of a foreign film receiving a Hollywood do-over, but No Reservations satisfactorily Americanizes its German predecessor by taking an originally more serious story and adding to it a lighter, more comedic tone.

  It's fun to see the glamorous actress turn down her movie-star flame, but it's a pity she's stuck with so many trite gestures on Kate's journey to fulfillment.
