Kate (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is a successful head chef of a restaurant which she runs it like an army. She is strict and expects her team to conform to her regimental style of running the kitchen. An unfortunate turn of event ended with her being a foster parent to her niece.While at work, a new chef is hired to work in the kitchen in view of Kate's current situation. Nick (Aaron Eckhart) is a friendly chef who loves to make the team happy and listens to opera as he cooks. He is totally opposite of Kate. She takes an immediately dislike to Nick. Yet her animosity toward Nick soon turns into admiration and romance as she learns more about him.
The heart warming movie fails to melt my heart till Kate learns to becomes more connected to the lost little child. However, there is a missing element of grief which has been downplayed and overshadowed. The director has focus too much on the love and romance between the two lead actor and actress and fails to understand that grief and loss has a big motivational factor in helping one long for love and belonging.
Rating: 3 out of 5 fairy clouds. It is worth watching once and to be forgotten soon.
