With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who watches cooking shows for fun and anyone who's survived a family wedding. Don't watch it hungry. A good follow-up to Chef. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 24 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
This comedy revolves around two brothers, both wonderful chefs, who fall out catastrophically. At the climax of their dispute they rip the family recipe book in half - one brother gets the starters and the other gets the main courses. They set up rival restaurants, across the road from each other, and spend the next twenty years trying to out-do each other. Neither brother will admit it but they both know they are not entirely successful in the 'other half' of the menu. It takes a daughter - a successful corporate lawyer marrying a man from a very different background - to reunite them. She is planning her marriage and is determined that they will both cook the wedding banquet.
