There were moments when this Danish restaurant story looked as if it might have offered more promise, but as it moves forward it loses vital pace - with too many pretentious asides, slotted within too many flashbacks. For a movie about food, very little of it looked particularly appetizing, and the script offers up somewhat trite situations to excuse several of its main character's rather foolish extra marital indulgences. While the cast works hard and some locations are good-looking, overall it's largely a disappointment, seeming to run twice as long as it actually did.
The story quite heavily involves children, but with several suspect sex scenes, and crude dialogue throughout, it's certainly not recommended for young viewers. One scene has the main couple's traumatized little daughter being offered intense personal counselling, but this takes the form of group therapy (rather unlikely in this situation). The screenplay seems to bite off more than it can chew but will be a time passer for some.
