    A stupid film, with a silly meaning (the fact that a crab has a lot to do with the romance is just weird!) but the scene with the girl breaking the plates always has me in fits of laughter (pretty much the reason I own the film!) plus the soundtrack is amazing and I can't help but love Sean Patrick Flanery.

    This movie was soo romantic and sweet. I really enjoyed the story line coz it was different. It had some good casting as well. I mean Flannery is awesome, if u enjoyed him in this movie you should definately watch the boondock saints, but thats if your in the mood for a good action and a good laugh.

    I LOVE THIS FILM - its amazing, the food is really presented and all intwined in the emotion and feeling of the movie. Where food is really part of the story line and a touch of magic that at the end gives me the warm fuzzy feeling - i have lost count how many times i have watched this film it lives near the tv!

    Buffy the Garde Manger! About as palatable as a plate of raw rocky mountain oysters in chocolate sauce.

    the idea was obviously taken from the book "like water for chocolate", but with a much modern version.

    A charming movie that has a wonderful cast, a delightful script and an enchanting romance. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Sean Patrick have great on-screen chemistry.

    One of Sarah Michelle Gellars first movies that was not successful. Her saying "She fell in love with a script, and it was a flop,and shows you that whatever you like, other people won't necessarily like it." Now as for the movie. I love this movie. I think its a very cute romantic comedy and a just feel good kinda movie. Love Sean Patrick as well as the mesmerizing soundtrack that goes with it.

    Sarah Michelle Gellar is great in this movie. I love how it's a romance but it's got that hint of magic in it.

    Terrible writing, implausible plot and bizarre wardrobe choices. That said, it's an almost perfect fluffy chick flick. Sean Patrick Flanery is dream-date material.

    She is hot in this !!!!!Call it Buffy the Culinary Slayer. Sarah Michelle Gellar, who usually runs around staking vampires and fighting demons, turns cute and cuddly as an aspiring chef in this magical-realist comedy.
