No Reservations (2007)
In Manhattan, the workaholic Kate (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is the chef of the 22 Bleecker Restaurant owned by Paula (Patricia Clarkson), who sent her to a therapist because she had no other interest in life but cooking and controlling her kitchen. When her only sister dies in a car accident, Kate becomes the guardian of her niece Zoe (Abigail Breslin), who has tremendous trouble being able to overcome the loss of her mother. Paula orders Kate to take a couple of days off in order to take care of Zoe. After the several days have passed, Kate returns to work, only to find out that Paula hired a sub-chef named Nick (Aaron Eckhart) without her approval. Nick explains that he is honored to work with Kate, but Kate is jealous and doesn't trust him. She believes that he wants her position. When Zoe gets close to Nick and invites him to have dinner with her and Kate, Kate changes her feelings for Nick. But, when his work is recognized by the clients of the restaurant, Kate believes she committed a mistake. Overall, I thought that this was a pretty good movie. It was definitely not as light hearted as I had thought that it was going to be, but it was still good. It managed to keep my attention. I wouldn't mind watching it again eventually.
I gave this movie 7/10 stars on imdb.com.
