This movie is sure to do wonders for tourism in Germany!! Movie is about Martha who is single and a chef in a Restaurant in Germany, she is the CHEF, NOT the owner. If you ever saw {Big Night} then you will appreciate this movie. It doesn't go into a lot of the food preparation as sayyyyy {Eat, Drink, Man Woman} but it is still a very good movie. It reminded me of {Baby Boom} with Diane Keaton. Martha's sister dies and she has to take care of her niece, Martha has some issues of her own, the niece doesn't eat Martha's cooking, and the Owner of the Restaurant is getting tired of Martha attitude in the kitchen. Martha's Sous Chef (layman term "assistant") is pregnant and will be going on maternity leave, the Owner hires this chef from Italy. NOTE!!! TWO COOKS IN A KITCHEN WILL NEVER WORK. Martha is trying to adjust her life for her niece, until she can get a hold of the nieces father, she has a cute neighbor downstairs that she is "somewhat" interested in, and she is having work-related conflicts with the new Chef. LOL This movie was great, my 12 year old daughter followed the sub-title very well and she even enjoyed it. There are some funny moments and some serious ones. Again I say this would be a safe pick for a weekend flick.... oh and the Scenery Hamburg was just gorgeous. (sp) Respectfully ReviewedRead full review
This movie is one I can see and enjoy every few years. Hard to find on downloads, so I decided to buy for my library. This DVD was in great condition! It is subtitled, but not difficult to follow. I love the soundtrack provided by Keith Jarrett. The theme is wholesome and can be enjoyed by the entire family. The ending is unexpected and uplifting. Relax and enjoy!

Generally I do not like chick flicks, but this one is so beautifully acted with characters who seem REAL. The sound track is great. The affair includes watching a chef prepare beautiful dishes. The German is lovely to listen to and not at all what you might think. The child actor is so natural and the relationship development between her and her aunt is heart wrenching but no tear-jerker. A love story between three people. This one has been on my favorites list for a long time and I knew I had to buy it. An English version starring Catherine Zetta Jones is pale in comparison.

A good movie that you can actually watch as a family. It is a little bit funny and a little bit sad and the characters are endearing. A feel good movie!

Very enjoyable and easy to understand. I'm still a student of the German language and this movie has always been my favorite for practice.
