  REVIEW:  
 

Catherine Zeta-Jones plays a chef obsessed with her craft.  She’s pretty much a loner because her life is all centered around cooking.  She’s the head chef at an impressive restaurant and thinks her life is going along just fine.  Until one day when everything is turned upside down when her sister is killed in an accident and she’s forced to raise her niece, played by Abigail Breslin.  When she takes some time off to deal with everything, the owner of the restaurant hires a new sous chef, played by Aaron Eckhart.   She is outraged but knows she has to deal with the fact that she knows nothing about raising a kid, or how to lay off her cooking obsession some or ever how to find love.  Maybe though, all her answers are right in front of her.

more details coming soon....

     
  MOVIE NIGHT TRAFFIC LIGHT:
 

On the Movie Night Traffic Light on a scale of GREEN meaning “Go – it’s a must see”, YELLOW meaning “Caution – it’s okay” and RED meaning “No - stop don’t do it."

We rate No Reservations YELLOW.  Caution – this is okay, but it’s not great.
