Review of The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014) by Amboy — 24 Aug 2014

A war between a Michelin starred French restaurant and a new Indian one across the road ends in peace, love, and fusion cuisine. This is a feel good movie from Lasse Halstrom who knows how to make such a movie.

I loved it, and to those who find its optimism "cheesy" I can only say the cheese here is Brillat Savarin, Chevres, St. Hubert--prime quality. The actors are all wonderful (is Helen Mirren ever anything else?), and the two young lovers are delightful--glowingly good looking and good actors to boot.

Sede it in the late afternoon and treat yourself to a great dinner.
