Cooks in No Reservation

Oookay… I know I should write my review after I watched the movie. >_< now I forgot those characters names, and I’m too lazy to search the internet about this movie. Anyway, the main character is played by Catherine Zeta Zones and let’s say her name is Kate (if I’m not mistaken). She is the main chef in a French restaurant, and very well known for her talent in cooking. Unfortunatelly, she has somekind like OCD problem, so she is currently in therapy. She also often make so many rules for herself, e.g. never want to date someone who live in the same building, always punctual at her work hour, etc. And she also can’t take a critic from her customer.

One day, her sister and her doughter (Kate’s cousin) want to visit her. But Kate would stick to her schedule, and won’t come home less than 9pm. Her sister okay with it, because, of course she knows Kate’s habit. But, before 9pm, an accident happen, and her sister died. In grief and full of regret, Kate read her sister letter who asked her to take care of Kate’s cousin, Zoe. At first, Kate doesn’t want to leave her job, but the owner insist her to take some rest. And when she is helping Zoe’s transfer, unknown to her, her restaurant’s owner hire another Sous Chef (Co-chef), Nick.

This Nick, has a very opposite attitude than Kate. He is very comunicative, love to chat, and highly appreciate other people. Knowing this, Kate is very angry, and thought that Nick want to sabbotage her kitchen. Nick counterattack that by saying that it is actually his dream to work with her. So, one and other conflict happens, and at the end, Kate finally able to open herself.

Overall… I would say this drama movie lack in story power. It feels… flat. The conflict is not well describe, or I don’t know how to say it, but… it feels… well… just flat. At first, I was interested to see this movie, because I thought it’s a story about chef and foods. Since I’m still in love with Rattatoulie, I thought, why not watch this. But unfortunatelly, this movie didn’t have too much impact to me. Not to mention that this move has so little humor, and the BGMs don’t feel special. Or … maybe it’s because I watched 2 movie in a day XD But I do like Catherine Zeta Zones ^_^
