    No Reservations... For my wife!!

    This is definitely a chick flick... My wife begged me to buy tickets to the sneak preview of this. Forget that I have been working hard and long hours, and wanted to go see "Tranformers" as any manly breadwinner who hasn't seen a movie in 2 months, my wife insisted and as usual, we compromised and went to the movie she wanted to see (secret to 24 plus year marriage # 2). She absolutely loved this movie, cried many times, and was absorbed into the story and characters completely.

    The characters were real, (at least for 40 somethings like us), self absorbed professionals with no time for a new kid in the mix. The movie had conflicts, but all was resolved and happiness prevailed. My wife could not stop talking about it on the way home. Sorry Optimus Prime, I'll see you on DVD!

    No Reservations

    I enjoyed this movie. My husband and 10yr old joined me. The 10 yr old was a little squirley during the show but he had just went and seen the Simpson movie a day before.
    My husband and I enjoyed the movie although I wasn't prepared for the sad parts in the movie. I expected it to be more about a resturant and it was a lot about the little girl and the lose she was going through.

    A sweet, clean movie

    Being a Christ follower, moview that deal with love and romance that are appropriate for my lifestyle are hard to find. I adored this one. For the most part the romance between the two main characters takes place iin the kitchen, and the violence takes place in the walk-in freezer. THere was a little language the absolutely was not necessary, but all in all, I enjoyed this movie very much. Thank you for portraying Katherine Zeta-Jones as a stil-sexy, leading woman, she is absolutely beautiful. And her age is beautiful to see. And Aaron Eckhart was pretty easy to look at as well. Well made, thoughtful, and romantic, just what I was looking for!

    I loved it enough to review it!

    by Kiendl

    This movie is romantic and comic, but SO much more than just a romantic comedy. It twists and turns unexpectedly so you never know what to expect for the (superbly cast!) characters that you grow attached to.....! I wasn't expecting to be impressed and instead was blown away!

    Just funny enough

    by ChasVta

    This movie is called a "Romantic comedy," but it was not a laugh-fest from beginning to end. That is exactly what made it enjoyable for me. There was a lady sitting behind me who made the point nicely to the people she was with as we were leaving the theater, "romantic comedy? I was crying almost all the way through the thing!"

    There is a good full blend of all the emotions as the story unfolds, and KZJ did a wonderful job of playing a woman with plenty of faults who steps up to the plate to take on the huge job of single motherhood.

    There were plenty of good laugh-lines, delivered well. I don't know if there will be more "Romantic comedies" in the future for this pair, but they worked well together in this movie.

    My wife and daughter loved it - I loved it - good balance there. That takes a deft hand, if a producer even tries anymore.

    Go see it.

    Wonderful romantic comedy with a happy ending! Nice chemistry between Catherine & Aaron. Loved the gourmet chef angle, too.

    no reservations...

    by kyrock

    i thot the movie was adorable, but if you saw the previews there wasnt much left to the imagination after that. its refreshing to see a blockbuster that is rated pg, but you can probably wait until video...however, if you need a movie you can take the lil ones too, this one is safe and clean...it will definately be in my dvd collection when it comes out...

    HEART WARMING

    THIS MOVIE WAS FUNNY, INTELLECTUAL, SAD AND ENTERTAINING ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVEN'T SEEN CATHERINE ZETA-JONES IN A CHARACTER LIKE THIS BEFORE. SHE'S CONTROLLING, SMART AND WITTY WITH A BIG SENSE OF PRIDE THAT NO ONE CAN BREAK. THAT IS UNTIL CAME AARON ECKHERT WHO IS THE NEW CHEF IN HER KITCHEN WITH A BIG HEART AND A GREAT SMILE. IT MAKES ME WONDER IF FATE BROUGHT HIM TO WORK IN HER KITCHEN BECAUSE THEY GO TOGETHER LIKE COKE AND RUM WITH LIMELOVE AND LIFE IS UNPREDICTABLE AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN KATE'S SISTER DIES AND LEAVES HER CHILD, ZOEY, WITH KATE. THE LITTLE GIRL IS A GREAT ACTRESS AND PULLED TEARS OUT OF MY EYES IN THE MOVIE THEATER. IN ALL THE MOVIE WAS GREAT, IT MADE ME LAUGH AND CRY AND IT HAD SOME GREAT COOKING IDEAS....BROUGHT YOU INTO A WORLD OF COOKING LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE. BE PREPARED TO CRAVE ITALIAN FOOD FOR DINNER AFTER THE MOVIE BECAUSE THERE WAS PLENTY OF THAT. IN ALL I WOULD SEE THIS MOVIE AGAIN, JUST DON'T FORGET THE TISSUE

    Lots of fun, even for a Simpsons fanatic like me!

    While I'm not the type who generally enjoys "chick flicks," I really thought that No Reservations was a lot of fun. There were a number of elements in the flick that one can empathize with which makes it all the ore enjoyable. For example, the development of Zeta-Jones' character - initially a perfectionist work-a-holic until the end when family, friends, and relationships clearly matter more - was something that many of us can relate to. The dynamic brought by Abigail Breslin's character was also good. This little girl's grief and how that effected Zeta-Jones, made for another life-like element. Of course, no one can avoid talking about Aaron Eckhart's character. His ability to get Zeta-Jones to start thinking about more than herself and her career, and his ability to get Bresin to come out of her shell of grief, was a remarkable touch. The three main characters were written well and the actors did an excellent job of playing the script.

    Been There Done That

    This movie is plain and simple, been done before. Girl has sister, sister dies and now aunt has to take care of kid. Girl meets guy and they all live happily ever after. The plot is old and has been done over and over again. The dialogue is boring and unoriginal and the acting is decent as an ensemble. Zeta is sub par with non believeable acting, Abigail breslin is ood at times and shows potential to be the next big actress of the next generation. Eckhart is a great actor but this movie just wasnt for him. I would not recommend this to anyone instead go to hollywood video and rent Love Actually a fantastic romantic comedy.

    Cute Movie

    My husband and I went to see this on Friday night. We were thoroughly pleased and enjoyed it especially the acting of Aaron Eckhart. I am not sure if I have seen anything else he did but he was really good. We enjoyed the fact that it was refreshingly clean and we could have taken our child without working about language, sex or violence. This was a great date movie!!
