This film is based off the novel, with the same name, written by Richard C. Morais. After the loss of his mother, Hassan Kadam and his family move around Europe trying to find the perfect location for a new restaurant. They finally settle in Saint-Anton-Noble-Val, France. There they open a restaurant across the street from Madame Mallory's Michelin star restaurant. Through food Hassan Kadam breaks cultural barriers and finds a new beginning for himself and his family.
This film was directed by Lasse Hallstrom. The story of this film trends very familiar territory, and keeps itself highly predictable. What makes it different is that it shows the clash between different ethnic groups. It also shows how very different their food styles are, and how these foods can blend together to create something new. Everything in the film is done to exemplify the differences between to two cultures. There are several dark moments in the film that reveal the misunderstandings of life. In many ways this film feels like a cooking fairytale. Manish Dayal played the role of Hassan Kadam. His emotions drove the film's plot and gave the film its heartfelt presence. Helen Mirren played the role of Madame Mallory. As natural, she was a treat to watch on screen. She gave the film its bold and salty edge. Om Puri played the role of Papa. He was great in providing the film its mysticism.
I give this film 4 out of 5 stars! It is a great heartfelt dramedy that audiences can enjoy. It just feels too familiar.

Okay, I'm technically not supposed to review this type of film. This is a stand-up comedy film that was shown on the big screen. Much like the recent bash of concert films that have been created. Anyway, this film is full of Fluffy's great humor and is just as full of his stories. There are some moments that unexpectedly hit emotionally hard. All in all, this is a great film that I enjoyed. I give it 5 out of 5 stars!
