I love movies about food and gastronomy. This one is perhaps the worst I have ever seen.
The script is absolutely stupid and totally not realistic, the dialogues are really bad, the "cuisine" depicted in the movie is a kind of generic "french cuisine" that doesn't exist. During each sequence filmed in a kitchen or with people eating or tasting food there are huge mistakes that anyone who knows how to cook an egg can spot.
For the rest: no visual interest, bad actors, bad editing, nothing to save this story.
If you want to see a nice french food movie, better see "la Cuisine Américaine"... (which is kind of the original story anyway, but a way better movie), or "Haute Cuisine". Or any of the more than 100 movies in my public list "food movies" will do instead of this one.
