This is simply one of the worst movies ever made, and certainly the worst food related movie ever made.
The performances were wooden, the plot contrived, and there was absolutely no chemistry between the leads.
I am sure the great Patricia Clarkson, the only shining aspect of the film, is embarrassed.
This is a blot on her otherwise outstanding performance record.
There was nothing believable about the film.
Sarah Michelle Gellar looks like she cannot even boil water, let alone command a kitchen.
The best line of the film, when it is discovered that Gellar's food is magical, is by her sous chef. He says, "Make all the women fall in love with me and make the men give me their wallets." This film wants to be an urban "Like Water for Chocolate", but fails so miserably that it will make chefs weep with futility.
