No Reservations ★½ 2007 (PG)

Uptight, temperamental chef Kate (Zeta-Jones) meets her match romantically and professionally in laid back sous chef Nick (Eckhart). He's perfect, but she's too neurotic to recognize it, and just for a touch of extra conflict she's saddled with an orphaned preteen niece (Breslin). Aspires to be the romantic comedy version of fine dining but the end result is a bland and uninspired dish. Remake of popular German film “Mostly Martha.” 105m/C DVD, Blu-ray Disc, HD DVD . US Catherine Zeta-Jones, Aaron Eckhart, Abigail Breslin, Patricia Clarkson, Jenny Wade, Bob Balaban, Brian F. O'Byrne, Lily Rabe, Celia Weston, John McMartin, Stephanie Barry; D: Scott Hicks; W: Carol Fuchs; C: Stuart Dryburgh; M: Philip Glass.
